Just had an official update...

Phase 1.1 includes the following:

• A selection of stereoscopic 3D support options added

o Oculus Rift

o Side-by-side 3D rendering for use with 3D TVs / monitors

o Anaglyph rendering: old school Red/Cyan rendering for those without Oculus Rift or a 3D TV but with some vintage red/cyan glasses

• Track IR Support added

• Dashboard brightness option added

• Improved build stability

• Assorted improvements from Alpha feedback

Underpromise and overdeliver indeed Actually didn't expect to OR/3DTV/generic 3D support rolled out so soon! Kudos to FD!

And TrackID!

 

[Memnoch]

I need to go to work on Monday and pick up my Oculus and try this out! Maybe I could sneak in on Saturday actually and hope no-one sees me and expecting me to work! <engages silent running>

 

[Keeval]

Yes... I Ninja'd Michael

 

[MortVader]

Awesome.

It apears that after 1.1, my computer now renders the game much faster.

I guess maybe it was using the HD4000 Graphics Card before, rather than the gaming-optimised secondary gfxcard Nvidia K1000.

I think i better go change the vid settings from low -> high

Brilliant!
I'm sure someone will stream that, I have some of those glasses somewhere...

I keep completely mis-parsing that first word.

Trust me guys, the 3d is mind blowing (I'm using the side by side mode on my 56 inch Samsung tv). Makes the game 10x more immersive and intense.

Can't wait to see rift you tubers post their thoughts. Does the new alpha add any new missions etc or is it just the tweaked original ones.

Am so jealous of you alpha guys, I am gutted I did not kick in the extra 10 quid or so for 1st beta access instead of beta 2

 

[jan]

I recon its a more optimized Version of the first build.

 

[Olrik]

I can confirm that today is indeed the day, tomorrow will be a completely different day even compared to yesterday

"Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life"

 

[The Space Pirate]

Track IR support confirmed!

No new missions in this little update.

Merry Xmas

Hope we soon see some ingame ocolus rift play or track IR on youtube or Twitch.tv

Nice to hear, I too have a samsung with 3d. I didn't really explore this option, but it sounds like it could be worth buying some 3d glasses at least unless Oculus comes (and before I can afford it )

 

[Alpha Protocol]

So TODAY is the day! and I'm at work...

*sigh

What... it doesn't introduce Analgraphs?
