I just think that
8) he doesn’t understand game development.
Not 'all'. If I remember one of the last conclusion about this matter here by someone, it's possible to enjoy SC only if you are stupid.
FPS quality is strongly tied to server health. On a fresh server AI is good and deadly, seeking cover and hiding. On common servers it reacts one to several seconds later. And on bad server it doesn't react at all.
Chance to be on a fresh server are few (less than 10%) as the game is more stable than before. We have far less server reboot now.
Some death animations can also be pretty long. The max I've seen is 5 seconds for a guy to fall on the floor. Hard to see it if you shoot from distance in the fog.
Oh, Im sorry, late reply from 9 sheets ago, i.e. Wednesday, but I said this before, and there's this game called Ship Simulator (a newer version of it is called Ship Simulator Extremes on steam) that is the first place I saw this being used...musta been about 2008. It is a totally unique thing, and Im not sure if other games ever used the system, or needed to, but what struck me as great is being able to disengage from the helm and walk around the ship. On water! And the point of the game is navigating through rough seas, so you quickly realize "oh, wow, Im not sliding off the ship, in rough waves...Im on the ship!" I always test this sort of crap out in games, like GTA or Cyberpunk, and I'll hop on a car or into the back of a pickup where I end up having to 'walk' in the same direction the vehicle is moving so I dont slide off. It's probably why I shelled out the cash to get my Aurora in the first place.
Also, they did these videos showing how they're making the AI walk paths, and when they go around the corner slowly, they'll lean a little bit, but if they go faster, the lean more. It was such a fascinating video back in 2014 or 2015, and of course they talked about how it's so they can develop stuff faster. I actually misunderstood them, and thought the system making the AI do those animations was actually in the game, so you didn't need the animation. After a year or 4, I realized they just use that system to generate the animation, then they just use that animation in the game. What? Why not just mocap and then....but....oh.. But hey, side project CR, why not make it so there's no animations in the game, but the steps etc are calculated in the game! Then you just need to say "go from point a to be" and the AI will lean if it's going around a corner at a certain pace, and if not, it'd fall over. That's what I would do. Can I have some fidels now? woop woop! Oh, or is that too much fidelity? Scared you a little?
Right, too real. What is SC, a cartoon?
All I know is for ground stuff, in EDO, I get 17-19 fps, oh but now I clicked that AMD Fidelity button thing, and it's like 22-25 fps which apparently is fine for me.
Can someone get SC a button like that? I currently get 11 fps in SC. I'd be so happy if that even got up around 17, no joke.
I haven't turned settings down on either, other than that button in ED.
I find this amusing in that I've always had subpar systems. What is fine to me is anything around 20 fps and higher. So when I see everyone saying how crappy things are, since they're not getting 60 fps, etc, I just have a chuckle and go enjoy EDO at 19 fps. Im not sure I'd even notice the difference. Brain operates at a low frame rate maybe?
The "death by haemorrhoids" animation is my favourite
Ah yeah, GTA. It has issues with putting movable things inside movable things. If you've ever tried to airlift bikes in a Titan it often ends up in a SC-like explosion.
It is possible... just. I've transported 4 bikes from Paleto Bay to LSIA in the Titan, but my Titan was practically on fire as i landed and exploded not long after.
EDO has AMD's FSR?
Ok that's cool, its good tech, AMD's answer to DLSS only unlike DLSS its open source, easy to impliment and even works on Nvidia's older GPU's that don't have Tensor Cores.
Is that with the latest patch?
I don't know, SC might get it, if CIG don't put it in a moder might, as i said its open source, people are already starting to plug it in to random older games..
------------------
Anyway. Loreville, yeah my GPU isn't quite as good as i thought it was, at least it is GPU locked, i can do something about that for more performance, and i am running 1440P.
@Agony_Aunt your treat is at 18 minutes if you want to skip forward.
That's a pretty minor bug. At least the doors didn't kill you.
Also.. your accent. North England?
North East yes
Time for CIG to pounce!
CIG, this is your window of opportunity. - Star Citizen Spectrum
With the recent debacle of ED: Odyssey, many Elite Dangerous players are reluctantly moving on to other games. Star Citizen is one of those games that appeal to the "itch" many ED players have for...robertsspaceindustries.com
Will CIG be adding VR to on-foot gameplay as a response?
It would seem like adding VR might have been a good response to the 2013 VR streatch goal and subsequent claims to the VR press that it was in hand.
I had an Oculus Rift DK1 back when CIG added that horrendous support for the hangar module, it didn't work - you actually had to fix it yourself by using the command prompt to switch the l/r eyes. Since then we've had two generations of consumer hardware.
Since Ben said "don't hold your breath" on this forum about four years ago, there has only been one junior CIG developer that said they would "love to work on VR" in an interview...
To me that seems to have gone from "give money now and we will absolutly support VR if a target is reached" to "Thanks for the cash, VR is nearly ready" to "nobody working on VR, would love to ...some day... if the money keeps on coming...." in almost a decade.
That isn't a very premium response, why isn't the community putting any kind of pressure on for stuff they were directly asked to pay for back in 2013?

Well, according to some, its fine if CIG walk back on the things they sold to backers or convinced them to pledge in the first place.
A CEO and a Director of a company funded by individual fans should never have to release a "proof of life" video. Especially after hyping it earlier for weeks, while the content is on the level of "The Clueless and The Mumbling".
Not sure what to think about them moving to the UK and Chris helping with SQ42.

SQ42 delayed another 5 years I expect as CR sticks his fingers into everything.

We thought we wanted it, but we didn't
Noooo... ah god, my wife and I recently discovered Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, and that's very much like the owner coming in to mess about with a head chef that was just getting on with things...
Is there a Ramsay's GameDev Nightmares? Could be worth a watch.
Fun to put on parallel with the "we overinterpreted a vague statement that you never really said you'd do x and you didn't, so we blame you and call you liars" currently plaguing FDEV's forums.
