A focus on stability?

So SCP:CB has been out for a very long time, It's been a long time coming; version 1.3. I was curious, when will the developers start focusing on stabilizing the game rather than adding new things. Don't get me wrong, new content is always nice, but what about efficiency and simplicity of code? I'm sure that with every new item implemented, the bug squashing gets significantly harder.

Juanjpro made several fixes in order to increase W8/10 compatibility amongst things, like removing Fastext and Fasttext. I'm hoping the devs expand upon that and optimise the game even further.

1.3 is also a lot more stable than prior versions.
Theres a reason for the many bugfixes.

yeah ok. apart from the game occasionally flipping out, it's fine. i have honestly never seen this kind of thing before.

It is possible, look at 0.6.6, most bugless version ever, and arguably the best.

0.6.6 it is a patch. For same bugless version you need to wait for 1.3.6

Not actually, but i remember it as the "never crashing" version, not sure anymore because it was on an old computer that has better support for old stuff like this.

He said most bugless version, not bug-free version.

I understand what you mean, that version was around for a while, but I just played it for a few minutes again now and it does have it's fair share of bugs that some people may have forgotten about.

Fair enough.
