State of the Game

I mean, as a developer they could end this quickly.

Just have the stream and let it run while they are coding. I bet most people will tune out at minute 3, the rest at minute 5.

That would be great!
Looking at a totally focused face half-hidden behind a screen, the sound of the keyboard in the background and once in a while a hateful glance towards the camera signaling to go the [REDACTED] away.
Now that would be a real dev stream.

The word "performance" exactly is contained once in these notes - that's going to be fun. A impressive list nevertheless.

No - however :

• AMD FidelityFX CAS has now been integrated, and can be adjusted on a slider in the quality settings menu.
• An upscaling option that allows the Player to switch between FidelityFX and Normal has been added into settings.

Anyone know much about this. I've done a quick google, and it sounds impressive - also mentions it may work on NVIDIA cards !?

I think I have a video here somewhere of a friend and me coding while we were self employed from a surveillance camera's stance.

You can speed the video up, the only things moving are our fingers and the people around us.

What is a "stuph"?

Something you should never, ever try to hide from @Bottom Hat. It's futile. He WILL find it

It's another upscaling filter basically. The quality is (IMHO) far under the DLSS of NVidia but it works on all cards and looks better than normal supersampling.

I noticed that too.

<Sigh>

I guess I won't be able to play EDO any time soon.

Yeah... I see that every day with my wife who's working from home.

In which case - when I'll have to give it a play - there may be performance gains to be had. I'm still thinking purely along getting this working in VR on planets

Am I late for Cat Memes?

What card do you have?

More of a siberian emu, but you're never late here

It's never too late for cat memes.

However, that there is a Cape Buffalo, clear as day!

 

[Erei]

I think it's photoshop. The body is clearly a cat, but the head is a bear.

What card do you have?

RTX2060 Super

Might work, please share your experience I'll have to wait until a lot later, I have a night shift later on.

Will do - I've got a meeting in 30 for an hour or 2, and then will get experimenting

oh no, it is only a performance increase of their servers not the client software. Do I hear some screaming in the distance? Probably the wind ...

Optimisation

• Various audio optimisations have been made.
• Adjustments to scaleform texture updates to fix GPU stalls.
• Fixes to the stability of the occlusion culling system.
• Inner dock geometry and landing pads now have occlusion meshes.

This is one of those mindboggling examples that shows how unready the release was -

• Inner dock geometry and landing pads now have occlusion meshes.

What do you mean they now have occlusion meshes? They should have had them before release, not a month or two later.

P.S. - I apologise for this on/off topic post...

I can fix that for you:

If the developer notes are any indication... I got a bad feeling about this.

pimped that for you:

moving pictures, preferably)
