What gives you the right to second guess the decisions made by some of the best in the industry? You need to sit back and trust in the people that are in the know.

Decisions like this are not made rashly, but with forethought and planning. Things like the critical path and resources are examined. It is nearly impossible for any of us to explain this to you if you do not have the knowledge and experience necessary for development or at least project management in regards to software development.

If I'm getting tired of all this second guessing, from laymen, I can only guess how the GIC developers feel about it.

Maybe you should focus your cars muffler bearings and fallopian tubes, that would be a good place to start....

Have all these streamers just been loading into the hanger, going to the elevator, crashing, restarting and doing all that again over and over since 2.0 was released? Today was the first time I looked at streams since day 1 and it is the same people doing the same poo poo as back then. Load, crash, repeat. They are all croberts' battered wives.

A Star Citizen describing their relationship with their ex Chris:

Reddit, what are some red flags you saw but ignored? Do you regret that decision? posted:

When you're the only one trying to repair a relationship and they've obviously cashed out.

When someone has wronged you and doesn't do anything to make up for it or try and fix things.

When someone lies and misleads you and leads you on.

When you already turned your back on them because they weren't there for you, but you give it another go because you love them.

When this has all happened before but each time you think it will be different, that they'll be different.

When you let all this happen because you don't have anyone else.

Some galactic defender you are, Space Cadet.
Bensday with Batgirl & Ben -- and it's painfully boring as usual.

Ben, on the Anniversary sale, "We made a lot more money than I expected."

In response to a question about in-game radio and tv programming in the eventual game, Ben replies:

quote:

"The problem with radio and TV stations in game is you either have to have an insane amount of money like 'Grand Theft Auto' or you have like 6 public domain songs like 'Fallout.' "
1) You have an insane amount of money-- so put that excuse aside.

2) Fallout has 39 retro songs, 19 classical songs, a half dozen songs composed and performed by Linda Carter and the original soundtrack.

3) You have one so far. And it's horrible.

Ben said they're going to open it up so that fan-generated material can fill their programming channels. That should turn out well.

Unless CIG has changed the handling from the base engine, CryEngine does not rely on the D3D shader interfaces, it has its own implementation of a specialized shader system that's not quite the same as the HLSL system used by D3D11, so that's not really an issue.

I was halfway through typing up an effort post, but then I stumbled over this gold mine and... well, hah.

It's almost like that's exactly what I said in the post you quoted to respond to. You know, where I said specifically it wasn't a solution for a shipping game, but to get things running while they refactored the existing stuff piecemeal. The entire discussion was predicated by the idea it wasn't possible to quickly get a DX11 codebase up and running on DX12, which is false, not that it was quick and easy to get it done right for a shipping product.

Remember in 40 Year Old Virgin there's that scene where he gets a girl to come over and they have to hide his toys from her so she doesn't find out he's a virgin manchild and when he opens the door the place is totally empty and he has to pretend he's getting new carpets.

Patch notes!

Patch G posted:


Gameplay:
  • Fixed an issue where loading into Arena Commander from the Main Menu would put players in the incorrect ship.
  • Contacts that have been invited to party will now go to the top of the contact list. The “Party Leader” is now specified on the contact list. There is now a chat message for both the invitee and invited when a party invitation is accepted and successful.
  • Reduced the excessive ship-turbulence from gforces, so that it only becomes noticeable when a character is close to blacking out.
  • Fixed an issue where the Constellation and Retaliator HUDs were missing Quantum Travel nav points.
  • Fixed an issue where the Mission Objective marker remained on the screen even when it had been told to hide in MobiGlas.
  • Fixed an issue where Mobiglas is severely offset from the left wrist of the player character.
  • Fixed an issue where the lights in the center of AstroArmada would flicker on and off as characters ran through the center.
  • Fixed an issue where sprinting with the Arclight pistol would force the camera to lock and the player character would be unable to look up or down.
  • Fixed several server-side crashes and performance problems. Fixed several client crashes around Port Olisar.

Wait- there are parties and contacts and invites? How the hell do you invite someone to a group?

Every single patch so far has fixed multiple server-side crashes. It's kind of crazy how many there were when this went out the door.

So whenever they release a patch, 2.0 is stable for a little while then goes back to being a crash-fest. What could be the root of that problem?

It just keeps getting better and better - now people are designing their life's work, their home, around Star Citizen (for that matter, a video game!). What in the gently caress is wrong with these people?

My answer would be spirituality

(Disclamer : i was raised in a Bhuddist community and while not one myself i grew up in that culture so my perception might be biased)

With the decline of religion and spirituality in western culture some people find other way to fill the void in them that was usually occupied by religious practice. They seek a sense of community and well being, having the impression your life is of some importance. Some turn to Tumblr and social justice crusades, other to StarCitizen.

It take some willpower to accept that your life is a random chance happening in a cold, uncaring universe and that the only meaning you will find is the one you make for yourself. Some people just buy Jpegs and try to escape away forever..

Meh. It's a relatively small room with a popcorn ceiling (i.e. it's an older and probably crappy house), plus the X-55 is a pos. The fact that he probably spends a significant portion of his income on nerd knick knackery and furniture to stick it on isn't particularly impressive to me.

It seems like 90% of crashes in the last three days have been errors loading in. They explained at one point that their instance manager was bottlenecking and when too many people tried to get in, it would drop the extras causing an exception. But then they said they had a fix, and it went away for a while, and now reportedly it's coming back. So I have no idea. Haven't tried today, I just got home so I'll give it a shot later. My patience for watching the load screen has worn pretty thin tough.

I somehow got into the Alpha 2.0 PTU. The game will load the entire world and THEN check to see if the server is full. Loading so far has taken over a minute each time. No I haven't been able to play as the servers are either broken or full.
