For some guys, vsync off give them 30% more fps. This option doesn't work well atm.

I'm sure on average yes, because you get more at the top end when the game can handle it. As i said, if i'm getting 60 fps stable with v-sync on its fine. Pushing the graphics card to work harder doesn't add any value for me.

If a game is running at less than 60, then its a problem and saying on average its getting over 60 FPS when at times you're getting well under 60 FPS is not showing a true reflection of the gaming experience.

For example, if i had vsync off in ED and spent a lot of time flying in space and just a bit of time inside stations, then i'd be recording an average of above 60 FPS with vsync off. But that would not reflect the 15 FPS i'm getting inside stations.

So, saying you get 30% more FPS is no use if its only in places where the FPS is already good enough anyway.

That's why i'm saying, i might as well keep vsync on, at least burning less electricity, when i don't need more than 60 FPS. And if a game drops be below 60 FPS, its going to happen with or without vsync on.

Unless, you are saying, when performance is bad, vsync makes things better, but i can only imagine that it makes tearing and the overall visual experience worse at sub 60 FPS levels, not to mention stressing the card even more when its already stressing.

Have you seen me describe capacitors as a jesus patch ?
It's aiming at having a more interesting dogfight and will change heavily the way we do dogfight. For instance, no more holding the fire button forever for laser weapons. It's alpha, they can heavily change how a lot of things works and that's what they do in 3.14 for dogfight and scan/radar to make them more interesting.

You just literally said all will chance in 3.14. That's what we joke about when we refer to jesus patches. A patch that backers believe will make the game much better in many aspects.

Ooooh, and you said ITS ALPHA again! Yes, we've already established that ;)

Are you guys really acting like FDev is beholden to no one when we LITERALLY just watched them drop a broken Alpha for full price on their community just to meet fiscal year end projections?

Why do you think they did that? For fun?

At least they show a level of accpuntability. Do you think selling jpg of ship concepts is much different? Selling a product that wasnt delivered in any form for around 10 years?

So who decide if, for instance, a switch to dx12/vulkan for the Cobra engine is needed to be able to release ED on new console ? DB ? I've read that he only owns 32% of shares. It's enough to decide for the whole company ? So he is the only one to decide ? It's DB that have decided that the EDO alpha was in pretty good shape and can pass from alpha to gold without beta ay the risk to hurt the licence ? It's him that have decided to stop work on VR on foot midway ?

If you look at the games actively worked by FDEV, don't you see that ED is the only one to use heavy netcode ? And for what I see, it's the only one to use VR also. For what I know, ED was announced for a 10 years cycle, we are near the end. So, they will continue to improve it to a SC level while none of the FDEV other games need all the heavy improvements of Cobra needed for this task ? They work secretly on ED2 on the new Cobra2 engine ?

I've never heard of a company where the boss needs to consult the shateholders for day to day business decisions.

I don't usually ask this kind of thing, but if anyone is feeling kind enough to drop me some UEC I'd be Very Grateful! I'm really struggling to get started in SC. My current SC handle is 3VE.

If anyone has any good suggestions for a great name in SC, that too world be great to hear! I've got one name change left that I can use...

My ideas so far:

DOA (I suspect that's already taken though)
Biscuit
Cookie
Chimbo (meaning old and wasted)
CRAT (can't remember a thing)
Foggy
NotSo
℃ (degreeC)
¯\(ツ)/¯ (this is probably not doable?)
⅒ (OneTenth)
BIOS
Unders (my surname is Saunders)
o7 (passing salute to ED on the way out the door)

I'd love to hear your suggestions! 🥳🍪

Lastly any help offered with getting started with SC would be most welcome! 😘

Susie?

For some daft reason, Probably Chris reason, SC has an account name and an in game moniker, for example mine is humbug and humbug1, because they can't be the same 🙄

I found Susie moniker 3VE, that has to be it, check your account i posted 500,000 aUEC to it, if you didn't get it let me know.
---
Anyway, out of those names i quite like Biscuit, don't know why, its fun, Chimbo is good too.

Yup, a guide is mega useful.

Mole and others have often said though in game there are generally lots of helpful people. If you give a shout out in chat someone will likely come and guide you. As i said, i had one nice person guide me through the station.

From what i've seen, the in-game community is much nicer than the out of game community.

Thanks AA!

Being an ex rat...it was my intent to bring fuel ratting to Star Citizen back when I was a wild eyed and hopeful child :rolleyes: ...There's one current refuelling ship, the Starfarer, but as yet...no refuelling mechanic at all.

The Starfart is the huge edifice in the background of the pic...I no longer have mine, I melted it a while back since it was all but useless for purpose :(

Or as we like to call it in our Org. The Lesnick and the Lesnick Of War.

Old SC veterans will get it :)

Important option to change : turn vsync off, some players gain noticeable fps by doing so.
For the pagefile, it must be on a ssd and I suggest to let it on 'system managed'.
Click to expand...

This is good advice, with VSync on if your hardware can't quite get to 60 FPS it will run at 45, might even be 30, if it can't get to 30 it will run at 20 or 15, VSync locks your game to 60 or if not quarters or half's of that.

There are better technologies now, G-Sync if you have a G-Sync capable Screen and GPU (Nvidia only for G-Sync only screens) Free-Sync for AMD GPU's, the vast majority of modern screens are AMD Free-Sync but Nvidia 10 series and later will run Free-Sync, tho they still call it G-Sync, because Nvidia, my screen is an AMD Free-Sync screen.

If you don't have a G-Sync or Free-Sync screen you can use Fast-Sync for Nvidia and AMD have an equivalent that i don't remember the name of.

Just don't use V-Sync, ever, in any game.

Hey a contract is a contract. Maybe Amazon would sue ;)

(Not that I think they’re going to move from AWS though. They’ve spent too many years trying to build 'server meshing' on top of that service).

(They totally should have gone with private servers years ago though, if they wanted to have that many bespoke servers communicating with low latency ;))
