Gearbox's new Risk of Rain 2 DLC is being torn apart on Steam, and original devs are concerned
The new Risk of Rain 2 DLC Seekers of the Storm is being panned on Steam, and some devs behind the original game have shared their concerns.
You're viewing a single thread.
They used Time.deltatime in FixedUpdate.
As an experienced Unity developer, its clear that they have literally never developed anything in Unity, ever, and probably just skimmed the documentation.
This hurts me and its not even my code.
They used Time.deltatime in FixedUpdate.
To be fair Unity knows this is going to happen and returns
Time.fixedDeltaTimeto keep things working properly.But they could stop that internal call and directly use Time.fixeddeltatime instead. Any person that knows how to use Unity knows to not mix the two. Which is my point.
Gearbox likely has experience with Unreal only, and have no idea what they're doin gwith Unity. Or at least, the team they put on RoR2.
As a programmer but having never used Unity, what does this mean?
I've never used unity either, sounds like they used a property that means "variable time between frames" in a context that is expecting a constant.
Almost sounds like they were setting up a "thing happens faster if your CPU is faster" type of logical bug that the engine is at least preventing internally.
DeltaTime is the old "tie the physics to the framerrate" thing old console games did because they knew they'd be running at a certain frame rate
When I was learning unity for a week it was literally lesson #2 in 3 different video lesson series NOT to use DeltaTime like that
Oh god. This brings me back to QBASIC days and how I upgraded my computer and it broke all my programs because I was an idiot and controlled time delays using for-loops, lol.
Ouch. Maybe they need a Turbo button.
