Suck my dick, you fuckman. There's nothing wrong with Ben, his doctor said so. No one knows why he had sepsis, it's just one of those unfortunate conditions that can strike anyone at any time. Sure, his joints are giving out on him and he's in pain all the time, but that's perfectly normal for a healthy person in their mid-30s.

Not a games developer, but I'd always understood that Cryengine was intended to make very pretty looking FPS games first and foremost. So if you want to make cool videos to scam suckers, it's probably an excellent choice. If you want an engine to actually make a space simulation/MMO/dating sim/mining sim/tower defense/city builder in... not so much.

Also, Crikey Ringpiece is the sort of moron who thinks he solve any deficiency the engine has by employing the people who made it and throwing money at them.

e: damnit, spend too long coming up with "Crikey Ringpiece." I need to work up a list of names in advance.

Hey don't worry what some people might think about you coming with new names for Cash Robber all day. I know a bunch of folks that do it with Derek Smart's name all the time and they are totally normal...

Yeah, who is looking like the idiots now? Remember when folks bashed PGI for trying to crowdfund the next BDSSE? At this stage, my money is PGI would have a hell of a lot better game to play than what we have for CIG. PGI a more reputable developer than CIG with better community management under Niko.

Remember when it seemed impossible to fuckup worse than the shitshow that was MWO, PGI, and Niko? CIG makes everything those clowns have done seem like a resounding success...

I stand in front of the cork board, which is covered in information about the game. Screenshots, photographs, printouts of articles an forum posts. but none of it makes sense.

Acting on whim, I select two items at random: a picture of what could only be described as a 'space news van', and a forum post detailing the inevitable consequences of space piracy, as envisaged by some sicko. In go the pushpins, and a small cord of red twine has each end wrapped around them. I step back. Nonsense, of course; there's no meaning in any of this. But then as my eyes run back and forth between the newsvan and the post they alight upon the lowest point of the length of twine, which has sagged downward with its tip pointing to a grainy image of a man running his tongue across a furred lip. The face of Ben Lesnik: Developer.

Mates and I took out a Connie and fighter escort, trolled Kareah for kills until we got wanted status, setup shop inside and killed people who entered the station for at least an hour. We stole the enemy ships and hopped out to GrimHex to "Buy" armor. Then we jumped back to covalex to encounter security and grief people who just repaired. I played for 4 hours and crashed twice during this time. A third time, the game locked up and I exited to main menu, but it wasn't a CTD.

I have a 970 SSC and a 4790k. I held 25-35 fps consistently on high settings. Overall, a big improvement since 2.3/2.4.1 but still a very long way to go. What I did notice was that many of the client desync issues were gone (or at least I did not encounter them or notice them from others).

no you didn't
