Update to RemVision

Hi,

Here is an update to RemVision if you have trouble loading a tape and seeing only a black screen after you do. This was a long-standing bug that required specific circumstances to reproduce.

This update requires you to replace your RemVision product, a simple update won't do (in fact, it will break it if you try).

The symptom of this bug is that you try to load a tape (either one of the six free tapes contained in the box, or any other movie you bought) and despite it appears to copy just fine, your RemVision screen or your sub's screen remains black whatever you do.

This happens when the sim where you load the tape is laggy or slow, for example a homestead. I'm sorry, when I designed this product, I tested it in my sim which is a full region, and I didn't realize the difference in speed. It has taken me a while to track, identify and fix that bug. The technical reason was the encryption which is time-based, and the fact that the track scripts took too long to decrypt messages coming from the tape when loading, and a queue ensued, meaning the timestamps were invalid by the time the new messages were treated. Hence the black screen. After this fix, the track scripts decrypt much faster, fast enough to overcome this problem.


To update your restraint and benefit from this fix, you need to go to one of these locations :

My Little Shop
Chorazin's store
Roper's Dark Playground
Dark Wishes


Once there, click on the updater and follow the instructions. You need to choose "REPLACE". Don't forget to save your times before requesting a replacement. If you do not get a "REPLACE" option, contact me (Marine Kelley) to get a manual replacement.




Have fun !
Marine
