State of the Game

[Oztig]

Suse is one year older than Debian Both came from slackware, Debian because of the atrocious installer of slackware (as if the first Debian one was any better) and Suse because they wanted to supply localised versions. Ah the old Linux days.

For masochists: Try Slackware 1.0.1 (I think is the oldest on their servers) with kernel 0.9

I remember editing xf86.cfg and adjusting it to match my monitor timings (good old fashioned CRT screen ).

<OffTopic>

by default the last patch has the AMD thing enabled by default - this knocked a few FPS on mine - As my SS and HM were still set to 1, and then this overhead went on top. (Try setting it back to Normal)
For full results view the thread in VR -> mine, Amy and a few others have posted findings.

More to following if I get any spare time to faff about, desperately searching for a few more FPS

Hey! The Panther clipper is not stupid,
"The Panther Clipper is viewed throughout the galaxy as the wealthy person's dream machine, the ship to own when all you care about is getting rich, and then getting richer still. Tales of single Panthers purchasing an entire planet's stock of essential food, thus condemming the population to certain starvation, are undoubtedly apocryphal but are an indication of the kind of influence this ship can wield...."

all retconned.

can you imagine how ridiculous it would be for a single non cap ship to be able to purchase a planet's worth of anything it produces?

much less, that planet not being a jump away from being able to purchase what they need if needed.

the panther is stupid because players can already get stupid rich trading with the ships we already have. one that can do that faster is detrimental to the game.

Hours and hours to get xfree86 to work with my matrox card and later voodoo2 & 3


amd fidelity with .85 super sampling seems to result in near stock image quality but better performance.

a nice bonus to have while fdev fixes the game

Not disagreeing, but the thought of the sudden influx of n00bz grinding their bee-hinds off to get one so they can "enjoy the game" and then watching them try to land their shieldless versions of it.

Makes me chuckle a bit inside.

.5 was still legible even. 90fps canyon flying on the surface.

so that means fdev just has to double performance near the surface and odyssey will be redeemed

Super easy! Barely an inconvenience!

yes, not sure what they are faffing about at to be honest.

It'll all be fixed once General Steiner attacks!

it's like what would a game look like if you married 1999 graphics with 2021 cpu's

EDO at the quality settings needed for decent framerates

I have to admit that I can't help but laugh when people post that 2014 graphics at <60fps on a 2021 PC is "perfectly acceptable."

Back off topic, which is on topic: I really like the new nVidia Control Panel feature allowing you to minimize frame rates when the program isn't in focus.

I know players are upset I respect that
but why use no mans sky and sc as a threat I try sc monthly no joy, and play no mans sky with the grand kids all the time

Same.

Also, and I don't intend to say that those other games are "bad", they're just not what I'm looking for in a space sim.

It's like saying "if you don't like Elite, why not play Football Manager instead?"

they just need more nanites, obvs...

 

[MishaTX]

Srsly, you guys, you're keeping me docked here when there's Texan Diplomacy to be done!

Edit: For the people who are still alive, obvsly.

Are we showcasing our old CPUs? Here is my Cyrix 486DLC33:

Reminds me, though (true story): One of my buds had a Speccy back in the day, and it had a serious overheating problem, so when we'd played for a while and it started crashing (or the ambient temp of the room started rising suspiciously, usually at the same time), we put it in the freezer for half an hour so we could continue playing.
