Chapter 114: Is the incomplete version better than the complete version?
Character skills will be weakened.
This was a decision Chen Ba made after careful consideration, to weaken the skill strength and effects of some paid characters.
The game cannot remain in this chaotic and disordered state all the time, and it cannot allow a special mechanism to affect the normal gaming experience of most players.
That’s not all.
Character skills can no longer be used on enemies, but only on yourself.
"That's no problem..."
After the emergency push of the new version update, the gaming environment has indeed been greatly improved. At least the situation where the software in the mobile phone is uninstalled while playing the game no longer occurs.
certainly!
After the game patch was released, there were no loopholes to exploit, which made many people feel disappointed and chose to leave.
Without these players who came to join in the fun, and after the loophole that would cause the software to be uninstalled abnormally was plugged, the gaming environment has been greatly improved.
Chen Ba let out a long sigh.
In his opinion, the problem that the ten-consecutive eliminations would cause some software to be uninstalled should be a landmine set by the system.
As long as this mine is eliminated, there will be no new problems in the game "Garbage Match 3", and he can sleep well.
Based on past experience, he felt that his judgment was correct.
One day, three days, one week...
Ten days after the hot patch update, the game was still running normally. Just when he let his guard down and even wanted Xiao Lu to buy a bottle of champagne to celebrate, an accident occurred.
A player of "Garbage Match 3" posted a live video on Pili Pili, which instantly caused a sensation.
In the video.
The player said that he had been playing "Crush Crush" for almost a week, and could be considered a semi-old player. He knew about the "software uninstall" incident some time ago.
He was very curious at the time.
The software icons in Candy Crush Saga, that is, the blocks that players can eliminate, appear randomly, and there is no pattern to follow.
Removing the designated software block will clean up the junk of that software.
So here comes the question!
What if you don't have this app on your phone? What will happen if you eliminate the blocks represented by this app? "This is impossible!"
Like Xiao Lu and Chen Ba, when they saw this video, they thought that the UP host was talking nonsense.
The underlying foundation of "Garbage Elimination" is a mobile phone garbage cleaning software, which obtains software information and cached garbage by scanning the storage space.
The software icons that appear in the game also appear randomly based on the software installed on each player’s mobile phone.
In other words.
If player A does not have the WeChat app on his phone, he will never encounter the WeChat block when playing "Garbage Match 3".
This is just like when you use mobile cleaning software to clean up junk, you can scan and find out the storage space occupied by each software.
Can I scan it without installing the software?
Can’t scan it out!
The same logic applies to the game "Garbage Elimination". If the software is not installed, the corresponding "elimination blocks" will not appear in the game.
“I found this problem…”
"Because I don't have the Tianba Community APP installed on my phone, there are no corresponding blocks to eliminate in the game."
"Download and install the Tianba Community APP, and the blocks will appear."
In the video, the UP host also came to the same conclusion as Xiao Lu: the blocks in the game appear randomly according to the installed programs on the phone. If the program is not installed, the blocks will not appear! "So I thought of a way."
"I first installed a program on my phone, then opened "Garbage Elimination". During the game, I switched to the background, returned to the main menu to uninstall the software, and then returned to the game to click on the blocks to eliminate them..."
I really like this sentence in the barrage: Ah?
Chen Ba and Xiao Lu were stunned. They never expected such a bold move.
When the game is running in the background, the software that has "blocks that can be eliminated" is uninstalled, and then the blocks are eliminated to clean up the garbage. Is this a solution that carbon-based organisms can come up with?
What will happen if you do this?
According to normal logic, when the blocks are eliminated, because the software has been manually uninstalled by the player by switching to the background, the software no longer exists and naturally the garbage cannot be cleaned up.
So, nothing will happen.
But this is normal logic. Obviously, "Garbage Match 3" compiled using the system's underlying core code is not applicable to this logic.
“Ding ding ding!”
In the video, the player uninstalled the "Tianba Community" app, switched back to the game, and clicked to eliminate three Tianba Community blocks of the same pattern and color.
[1.14M cache garbage of "Tianba Community" has been cleaned up for you]
Everything was normal in the game! But the audience who watched the UP master's operation throughout the whole process felt it was very weird at this moment.
Tianba Community APP, it was clearly uninstalled manually by the UP host, where did the 1.14M cache garbage come from? The software is gone, where did you clean up the garbage? "It's weird, right?"
"Don't worry, let's exit the game. Please don't blink from now on. I promise this is a full recording with a cellphone, without any editing. It's time to witness the miracle!"
When UP slid the bottom of the screen, exited the game and returned to the main menu bar of the phone, all the audience fell silent.
The "Tianba Community" APP, which had been manually uninstalled by the UP host, appeared on the screen intact, as if the UP host had never uninstalled the software before.
"ah?!"
“Is this recovery?”
"I have already uninstalled it! I didn't re-download and install it, how did I restore it?"
What's going on?
Chen Ba was also confused and quickly took out his mobile phone and tried the UP host's instructions.
First open "Garbage Elimination" and start a game, then switch to the background, manually uninstall the Penguin Video APP, then return to the game and eliminate the blocks represented by Penguin Video.
“Recovered…”
After verifying that what the UP host said was true, Chen Ba and Xiao Lu looked at each other in surprise.
It was already very difficult for them to remove the specified blocks and uninstall the bug of the software. They never expected that there was an operation to remove the non-existent software and restore it to its original state.
The video continues.
The UP host tried a few more times to make sure that this was not a coincidence.
When eliminating the "non-existent" software blocks, "Junk Elimination" will restore the software in the background, as if it had never been uninstalled.
But the uninstallation was done manually by the UP host, and everyone saw it, so it is impossible to fake it. So what exactly is this recovery software?
Out of curiosity, the UP host clicked on the restored "Tianba Community" APP to preview it.
“The software can still be opened normally.”
"But... we can see that this restored "Tianba Community" APP software seems to have become a defective version."
“Try another software!”
“This time it’s a live streaming app that everyone uses frequently. You can see that the app can still be opened and operated normally, but the reward page is gone…”
"Change to another one, this time it's Pili Pili. The video can be watched normally, but the graphic advertisement bar at the bottom is gone!"
After the UP host's test, everyone can see that after such an operation, "Garbage Elimination" can indeed restore the software that was uninstalled "in the middle of the game".
But what was restored was an incomplete version!
To put it bluntly, the recovery is incomplete. But the strange thing is that even if it is incomplete, these software can run smoothly, and even feel smoother than the "full version".
The most embarrassing thing is undoubtedly a certain live broadcast platform APP. After being restored by "Garbage Elimination", the reward page disappeared directly.
An e-commerce shopping app seems to be operating normally, but the "enter password for payment" window cannot be popped up, no matter how much you click it.
The comments were almost making me die of laughter.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"This incomplete shopping app is awesome. I'm going to get one for my wife right now so she doesn't have to waste money all day long!"
"This incomplete version of the live broadcast APP is pretty good. Now I can get it for free with peace of mind. You ask me why I don't send gifts? There is no reward page!"
"Hahaha! What's the name of this game? I'll go download it and see what other cool stuff there is..."
"I just tried it. The online game didn't work because the files were incomplete and I couldn't enter the game. But some software worked. WPS was directly changed to the overseas version, and it was ad-free, which was great..."
ah?!
Seeing this, Chen Ba seemed to have thought of something. He quickly took out his mobile phone and opened the Penguin Video APP that he had just used for the experiment.
Great... No more splash screen ads! Before, when I opened the app, I had to wait at least four or five seconds to see a splash screen ad before entering the homepage. Now, it goes in seconds.
Moreover, the messy pop-ups and recommended ads on the homepage are gone, and the page is as clean as an "old" version from many years ago.
certainly!
When you click on a video to play it, the opening advertisement for non-member users is still there. This thing is probably the core of the core. If you remove it, the software probably won’t be able to open.
But even so, it is good enough to remove the splash screen ads and homepage pop-up recommendations to make the page cleaner.
“Is this a defective version?”
Chen Ba thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. Why is the incomplete version better than the complete version? And it seems to be smoother?
"It is indeed an incomplete version..."
After watching this video, Xiao Lu immediately ran to test the problem mentioned by the UP host.
The results show.
When "Garbage Elimination" is still running, switch to the background to uninstall a certain software, then return to the game and eliminate the blocks represented by the software.
The game will continue to execute the garbage cleaning instructions. Since the software has been uninstalled, it will clean up while restoring.
During this process, some software will become incomplete versions, missing some files or content.
But the strange thing is that after these incomplete software are restored, they can still be opened and used like normal software, but then some inexplicable problems occur...
"Will this work, too?"
"Why can't it run? For these software, the problem is a bug. Have you ever encountered a bug when using these software?"
After Chen Ba figured it out, he explained to Xiao Lu: "The live broadcast app doesn't have a reward page, and the shopping app can't make payments. These programs are bugs."
Bugs like this will not affect the normal operation of the program.
The last time he used a note-taking app, he encountered a bug that caused the input method to not wake up !
After these software were restored and cleaned up by "Junk Candy", although some minor problems appeared, the core was not affected after all, so the program can run normally and will not suddenly crash or exit.
Although it sounds weird.
Shopping apps can only browse, but cannot pay or place orders. Live streaming apps can only watch, but cannot reward. Video apps and social apps do not have opening ads or pop-up recommended ads...
Rather than calling it an incomplete version, it's better to call it a normal version. Although it sounds unorthodox, it feels more attractive than the complete version. "It seems to make sense."
Xiao Lu scratched his head and said, "Hearing you put it, it seems to be more attractive than the full version."
Netizens think so too.
After this video was released, "Garbage Elimination" quickly ushered in a peak in downloads, and many people rushed to verify the UP host's statement.
Don’t ask, it’s just fun to ask!
Install a game called "Crush Smash" for your spendthrift wife, so that the shopping app on her phone becomes a defective version that only allows her to view but not buy things. This can save her at least two thousand yuan a month.
Do you like watching live broadcasts and always can't resist the temptation to spend money to reward the female anchors? Download a "Garbage Elimination Game" and clean up the live broadcast software. The reward page is gone, and there is no way to spend money on impulse.
Are splash screen ads annoying?
Download the latest "Crap Elimination" app and clean up these apps. You will no longer have to wait for five seconds before the screen opens. You can go back and forth in seconds, which is faster than others...
Netizens were overjoyed.
But the software developers were extremely anxious. Not only did they take steps to remove the video, they also sent a formal letter demanding an explanation from Tianba Studio.
"What do you mean?"
Chen Ba felt very strange. What did this have to do with them? Why did they come to them to ask for an explanation?
"They said that because Trash Puzzle caused unusual bugs in their software, we must be responsible for it."
"How can this be true?"
Chen Ba rolled his eyes and said, "Is there any evidence to prove that the bug in their software was caused by "Garbage Elimination"?"
joke!
It would be strange if these programmers could understand the underlying core code provided by the system.
There is no direct evidence to prove that the defective versions and malfunctions of these software are caused by "Crap Match".
Besides...
It’s fine if you don’t fix the bug in your own software in time, but how can you have the nerve to blame Tianba Studio?
You can't poop, so you blame the toilet, right? Although Chen Ba felt guilty and thought that these software were probably implicated, he certainly couldn't admit it.
Not only are they unable to admit it, they even try to distance themselves from the incident and portray themselves as one of the victims.
These software developers are very anxious and want to solve this problem as soon as possible. After all, it is not difficult to solve the problem of incomplete software, such as not being able to pay or reward...
Removing the splash screen ads from this incomplete version would have a very bad impact. After all, ads are their main source of income. If they are cut off from the splash screen ads, wouldn’t that mean they would lose their source of income?
Tianba Studio is truly a black sheep.
You said that you found a bug yourself, and that's fine. At most, everyone will laugh at you. But your bug will spread outward and cause other software to have bugs. Isn't that too much? The second chapter has been reviewed. Let's see if it can be released. If not, I will find an editor tomorrow. (End of this chapter)
