[Cocos Creator 3.8.6] Labels cache mode bug
Cocos
JUNE 18, 2025
Hi, I think I’ve found a bug concerning the label cache mode and draw calls. The projects we’re working on require several labels to be displayed simultaneously. To avoid the labels generating too many draw calls we have got into the habit of using a bitmap font (or the bitmap cache mode). This worked perfectly until 3.8.6.

re: bug fixing. How often do you receive reports that subjective, or incomplete? I worked at a studio where I would get assigned tasks like “actor look weird here” alongside an attached video capture, or “mission 167 is broke”. These would come from playthroughs by higher ups, they would have a top proprity attached to them, and quite often they were not reproducible or not fixable (systems would need to be rewritten). Is that normal?
Ask a Game Dev
JANUARY 6, 2025
These kind of bugs commonly come in via playthroughs during a feature review (usually producers, sometimes designers/engineers/art/QA, sometimes bigwigs), and often have only the comments made during the review for context. Yeah, it's pretty normal. Once that's figured out, they get assigned. animator re-exports animation X).

Dear Tester, this is how you can help us be innovative
Game Developer
FEBRUARY 26, 2024
We’re currently developing a mini open world local co-op called Bugging Humans. It has a shared asymmetrical UI — where one player doesn’t see the screen but they have the controller, and the other player sees the screen and they have the keyboard. This means best practices, for instance in level design, have to be adapted.

There’s a lot of noise online about live service games being detrimental to the quality of games, such as initial launches being bug ridden and with incomplete features. Is there any truth to this last statement? And are the spending patterns reflecting the idea that people are dissatisfied with this model of monetization?
Ask a Game Dev
NOVEMBER 25, 2024
I think that it is true that initial launches are indeed more bug ridden today than they were before day 1 patches were possible, but the reason for this is much less nefarious than most are imagining. Further, all of those duplicated disks out in the wild would forever hold the "final" version of the game, bugs and all.
