Not even CR would be as callous as to unceremoniously use his own name in ship references in a game he is producing, right?

Stares at Roberts Space Industries, both real and in game company.

Never mind.

It says he dies in 2108, pretty optimistic.
Maybe that's the real release date for SC.

First of all I wanted to congratulate the whole planet tech team for their incredible job, planet tech V4 is undoubtedly a technological leap and a solid foundation for developing future systems....

Oh no, SC suffers from the tiling issue... Guess what, it's a computer game, same goes for Elite, even though both instances will be treated completely differently.

Broken patch? That's a whoopin...

Yes, but ED doesn't brag about being the BSGE or say its graphics are from a next-gen that hasn't even been invented yet....

The tiling in that SC screenshot isn't really anything to do with the terrain, it's someone being careless/inexperienced enough to not do anti-tiling in the shader leading to the classic desert ramen.

You seen these?

They have a mix of problems, but the desert ramen is something that happens in any game with a relatively flat surface covered by a highly tiled texture if nothing is done to prevent it. It's one of the easier things to fix as it's a skin-deep problem. Example.

It seems the easier solution has also a cost. Perhaps CIG will try it when vulkan will be in

however we are also considering two improvements we can make here. The first is to introduce more complex 'biome brushes' so that rather than painting down individual textures and colours, we instead build a more complex brush that paints down a variety of textures and complementary colours such that we always get a consistently high detail biome. The second potential change, which may come afterwards, is to split the surface into tiny grid cells (e.g. 4x4m) and introduce randomised texture offsets into each grid cell to avoid any repetition, however this requires us to blend 4 ground textures and therefore increases the cost, but if this turns out to be a significant cost we can just expose it as an option for the user to disable should they require.

What happened to procedurally generating stuff? I can't remember which year it was CIG made it such a big thing.

Yeah, me too. However...it's an absolutely hateful PC port. 30 minutes of loading shaders for a start. I've got it running fine on a mix of ultra/high/medium graphics setting with DLSS on quality...but jeez, it sucks up VRAM like the idiot Roberts' wallet hoovers up dollar bills

Hopefully they'll get it sorted with a patch as a matter of urgency...the highly anticipated launch absolutely bombed on Steam purely due to the abysmal PC port. A crying shame, one of the best games in a decade ruined with a crappy port from PlayStation to PC by a 3rd party studio who has a sordid history of doing it before...Iron Galaxy...we're looking at you

In game screenshots using the built in photo mode...they're not taken from cutscenes...so it's pretty at least.

Spoiler: Pretty game indeed

I just started playing in parallel to that. You don’t need to wait for that to finish.
