You should only really need to do that if you're running SC from an HDD or on 16Gb or less of system ram, set a pagefile if you are, it helps in both cases...but contrary to good sense...running with the graphics settings at very high (except for volumetric clouds...set them to medium or low) actually improves performance and frame rates...by a significant degree. Turn off chromatic aberration and film grain, sharpening to full...works wonders

It sits on an M2. Here are my full specs, just scroll down under the channel
The rig is well capable I'd say. Still, I got 15 minutes of stuttered slide show, and after that it was all fine.

Concept JPGs sold like hot cakes! So popular they ran out of JPGs to sell!
Oh, this is a good one from one of the SC faithful
Yup, apparently the people exploiting the game for credits are the critics and they are doing it to make CIG do more wipes!
Its not gamers being gamers, doing exploits because in game after game throughout the decades, because that's just how some people roll.

Do you ever get the feeling you're being cheated? I get it all the time. I get that feeling big time whenever I buy a second hand car. I've never bought a new car, but I'd feel even more cheated doing that
Star Citizen is a very pretty game, and a lot of folks streaming it seem to have fun playing it, they even have free flies to check whether your computer can cope with the game, but I'm not sure if I'll ever buy it... because of that "being cheated" feeling of mine
There was a free-to-play racing game I played a few years back. It was pretty good. The number of races you had to win to earn upgrades wasn't too bad, but then the game changed. Suddenly you had to work very very hard to earn upgrades in game, and I got that sneaking suspicion that the games company wanted me buying those upgrades with my credit card
So them "being cheated" alarm bells are sounding off with Star Citizen as well. I find it highly suspicious that any ships bought with your credit card survives these wipes. It incentivises them to keep wiping the game. And here's the bit that makes me wonder if I'll ever buy this game... If ships can be bought with credit cards, is buying those ships with in-game progress going to be made incredibly difficult, to "persuade" players to buy them with their credit cards instead?
The amount of time it takes to earn bigger ships in the alpha just now is meaningless. After all, it's an alpha. When the game goes live we will find out how much effort is needed to earn those bigger ships. And then I'll have to trust Chris Roberts to keep that effort the same if he finds folks are earning those ships by playing the game instead of giving him money for those ships
I'll have to trust a man who changed the terms and conditions of his game to refuse refunds, who lied about his wife being part of the management, who scraped the watermark off a jpeg to avoid paying the artist, who pretended that a video of a game was in fact a playable demo, who bled off funding for a game to make a movie, who uses a rat's nest of different companies to hide his finances, who paid dividends to himself for a game that hadn't been released yet...
Chris Roberts might be an affable, charismatic character, but I wouldn't buy a used car from him
I'm never going to purchase SC (or SQ42), no matter how it turns out. So I may feel cheated by some purchases, and may actually be cheated by others, but it won't be anything Chris makes. Guaranteed
Same, and I won't buy a game from him either.
I'm not sure he's either of those ... snippy & bumbling maybe
I think the yanks just like his cute British accent You guys just don’t understand office development…
Fun bit of gossip over on SA
They should check out the concept art statues at the new Manchester offices

To be fair we got our web designers to help out on an office redesign one place I worked - they enjoyed it as it made a change from the day job - and they enjoy designing stuff - the weirdosYou guys just don’t understand office development…

Depends if you have CR standing over you I guess - but then they should be used to that ...To be fair we got our web designers to help out on an office redesign one place I worked - they enjoyed it as it made a change from the day job - and they enjoy designing stuff - the weirdos
I think the daftness comes in part from them being a 'struggling up and coming indie' at that point, but still directing devs & funds into having a lavish office.
(Now the daftness comes from them building yet another lavishly customised office, while still not having delivered any official products
)It seems backers are somewhat annoyed that 2016’s $750 Polaris is still not in production…
Stemming the flow of vehicles per patch would indeed be terrible
Why produce the old difficult big ships when you can flip multiple new things (Scorpius, Mule etc) at a consumer pleasing cadence? (Pleasing for new consumers that is)

"A big chunk of the UK team for maybe 12-18 months"
Hold on! Doesn't the UK team have like over 500 people now? Or he means only the vehicle development team? I hope the latter!
Even so, its crazy, but its been clear for a long time, that the big ships take a lot of effort. Easy to sell, hard to make.
LOL kept watching. Mike then losing his mind over how CIG how are still selling big ships, makiing reference to the Odyssey.

Yeah he must mean the vehicle team.
And yep, they’re not stopping with the new big $$$, big dev, concepts either…
