Games Workshop's case against chapterhouse where they lost to some dude making shoulderpads for their models is some CIG level incompetence so I'm not so sure on that one

Although I might be remembering wrong they re-named all their poo poo to weird things afterward.

So that's why Orcs and Golbins are Orruks and Grots now. Can't stop people selling Orc stuff but you can stop them selling Orruk stuff.

Video of Evocati client/server test from Nov 12th.

Specs

Game configuration was 2560x1440P - Very High - V-Sync Off.
Hardware'
GPU: GTX 1070 overclocked by about 10%
CPU: Intel i5 4690K overclocked to 4.6Ghz
16GB of DDR3 System Ram running at 2.4Ghz

Still runs like poo poo. Notice how there's absolutely NO combat engagement etc

Also had another testing round yesterday:

quote:

Server Performance Testing
GREETINGS AVOCADOS!

Tonight (2017-11-14) we will be doing some complex playtest data collection and we need your assistance!

Before we begin:

Please ensure that you are running r_displayinfo 3 at all times.
Please pay very close attention to chat and follow all instructions from CIG Staff.

Test Instructions:

When we are ready for you to begin testing we will ask you to join in on the PTU Servers.

This test is going to consist of multiple phases and we need your FPS Data from each phase:

Spawn at Port Olisar and go outside to Pad A00
After data collection, a CIG Employee will advance the phase via chat, return inside to ASOP and spawn SMALL SHIPS

Take your small ship and position yourself somewhere safely above Port Olisar.
After data collection, a CIG Employee will advance the phase via chat, then pick a moon/station of your choosing and spread out away from other players.
After data collection, a CIG Employee will advance the phase via chat, ditch your ships in orbit/on surfaces and get back to Port Olisar.

Spawn LARGE SHIPS and hover over Port Olisar.
After data collection, a CIG Employee will advance the phase via chat, pick a moon/station of your choosing and spread out away from other players.

Once we have collected this final set of data we will shut down the servers and migrate to a new set to perform additional tests as needed.

While waiting for new servers, please use the following Response Template to reply to this thread with all the information we need to collect added in:
CIG Staff will be present in most servers forwarding / updating chat with further testing instructions.

Goodness, seems to run significantly smoother than CIG's branded stop motion animation, very pretty game.

There are parts in that video that are so buttery smooth that you half expect them to sell it with a smoking jacket, a glass of bourbon and a measurable bounty of 1950's era 'smooth operator' charisma included in the box. :heysexy:

Yeah it's astoundingly well performing, I got some playtime during the event and tested streaming it at 1080p 60fps, even in huge battles it didn't really skip a beat.
My system is an R7 1700 and na RX 480 8GB, so yeah with something like a 1080 you can easily play it at 4K without much of an issue and the lead dev insists that this is not yet fully optimised.

There were nearly 40 players on the server at peak time and 100+ bots all mostly shooting the poo poo out of everything. Single instance, the server - dual core virtual machine...

I have no loving idea how the gently caress SC can't get their poo poo sorted with a team of developers and unlimited money...

Dear Games Workshop,

It seems it is that time again; Christmas approaching fast. I don't normally ask for stuff, but I was wondering if you could get me a 1st person Warhammer 40,000: Ork Marine Warboss video game. If you were to release this I will make sure to leave out extra cookies and do all my chores and send in my homework on time and pet all of the animals in the zoo.

Thank you

The lengths their going to to apologize for their failed dev leader and the mental gymnastics is truly remarkable. "1billion euros, 10-15 years" WoW. I guess the game is coming out with backers like that.

Dear Jobbo_Fett,

Thank you for contacting us re your potential game idea, as we have read it and written it down we now own it and have dropped it into the dark vertical shaft that leads to the shovel-ware generation facility. If you ever mention it again we will own you.

The screen selection screen has two extra options, track a ship or "claim" which I'd assume means insurance and LTI will finally make an appearance as the game gets shoveled out the door. They'll have to put LTI in with the MVP.

He's right. This, all of it, is art. CIG, us, r/DS, Lesnick's website, pgabz videos, they're all part of the most incredible work of art ever seen. It'll be years, maybe even centuries, before people can fully appreciate it.

They should really just put my game up there. It's called "Deuce Citizen" and it's literally twice as good as Star Citizen in every way. That's the entire concept, all I've got so far- "Whatever Star Citizen is doing, Deuce Citizen has that times two."

Trailers should be out in two weeks. But I mean, Deuce Citizens can start backing now if they want. Prices will never be lower than they are right now! Can you really afford to wait until all that pointless grunt work like "any sign of gameplay" or "a functioning release" are already out the door? Get in early and your Deuce Dominance will be assured.
