We've just released beta 13 to our quality assurance team (QA); so far, the unluckiness of its release number appears not to have affected its quality and nobody has managed to crash it. This beta release fixed 20 known issues and we've had reports of people playing for an hour and a half or more without any crashes, and as it hasn't been out for much longer than that, we're pretty happy with that!
So, what’s left to do?
Well, we've got quite a big list of bugs - thankfully, almost all are small bugs. We do have one frustrating bug that causes some graphical corruption on some graphics cards (we think, at this stage we're not 100% sure). We know the cause of it, but we're not sure quite how to fix it yet. We've also got quite a few minor bugs to fix, we're going to be going through these and deciding which have to be fixed before release 1, and which can wait. In an ideal world, we'd fix them all first, but we know you all want to get your sweaty paws on MTA:SA sooner rather than later (plus we're really looking forward to seeing what you think of it!).
Anyway, we're really pleased with how beta 13 is looking, we've got our fingers crossed that our wonderful QA team don't find us any more bugs to fix!
