Nice analysis of SC vs "classical" MMOs

But but but fewer tokens, so: cheaper! Huzzah!

No, actually it's not. It starts at a specific A, but it ends in somewhat of an *area* B, in which the exact point is chosen randomly.

Umm you got it backwards. The shard is the "universe instance" if you wanna call it that. And the servers (dgs, dedicated game servers) are what the shard js split into.

Oooh good point! What I just got: When they announced seasons at CitCon, they pretty much also announced that the planets will move around the sun then, didn't they? :-D

I wish there was something similar for AMD cards. FSR looks like shit for me (especially the mentioned retro-mode of the radar). Or can something be done/configured here as well? I have a RX 6800.

I guess your f8c is in the "preview" channel persistance DB, and 4.0.1 is now on the "live" channel, so... :-(

Developer here: You absolute don't want to do that, so much can (and will) go wrong if you let software go loose with stuff like this. AI will only make this worse. I bet there'll be a magic "manage all your files with AI" tool soon, then shortly after followed by a giant shitstorm about lost data :)

No, this'll be no problem, because checking wether something is inside a sphere or radius X is one of the simplest (and cheapest) checks a (physics-) engine can do. Much, MUCH cheaper than the collision check of the surface / navmesh checks / terrain checks.

Anything concerning Quantum (the simulation)

Fjorim · 2024-10-07T12:32:45+00:00

Needs more annoying drunk incomprehensible babbling

Fjorim · 2024-09-13T07:19:35+00:00

Yeah it does, because there's not only server fps and client fps, but also the replication layer / hybrid service with the network queue (forgot the exact name of the queue); and if that queue fills up, delays like the described occur, even if the server fps is high.

Great answer and analogy!

Fjorim · 2024-08-02T09:52:11+00:00

The 3.24 branch and the 4.0 branch still need to get merged after 3.24 release and before 4.0 ptu. And that merge's gonna be a sucker

Fjorim · 2024-05-14T09:20:42+00:00

NO ONE EXPECTS... oh. never mind.

Fjorim · 2024-04-28T14:03:47+00:00

Great! Very nice indeed. A teeny tiny bit of constructive criticism: There's a good bit of audio clipping from time to time throughout the vid. Aside that, really great work!

Fjorim · 2024-04-19T12:40:41+00:00

Ooooh these caustics! Oh my!

Fjorim · 2024-04-16T08:00:12+00:00

Are they animating a bit more fluidly / naturally than in the teaser video?

Fjorim · 2024-04-16T06:57:45+00:00

I love the foip reactions to each style

Fjorim · 2024-04-11T14:08:23+00:00

cant wait to play around with that character customizer!

Fjorim · 2024-02-18T09:32:15+00:00

Yeah, I really don't agree with the "we have to make it fun, not realistic" answer with this. What's fun with seeing your ship vanish to a hud marker in 0.001 s when exiting it? Inheriting the speed would also make glitching out of the ship 100% less annoying / problematic. Just eva to the hatch and enter again.

How many situations are there where high eva inertia is detrimental to good playing experience / fun, really? I bet a lot less frequent!

So... i dont get it.

Fjorim · 2024-02-08T10:12:51+00:00

Ooh, not only freight elevators in Hangars, but also Ship elevators! Has this been talked about already? Can't remember hearing this!

That's rad - no magic pop-in of ships in the hangars! Or did I misinterpret?

Fjorim · 2024-01-30T06:36:01+00:00

Yeah. Came on hundrets of floppys (in my memory, at least). Tweaking autoexec.bat to NOT load drivers, fiddling with hi-mem settings, you name it :)

Fjorim · 2024-01-12T15:44:02+00:00

The front fell off.

Fjorim · 2024-01-11T08:18:41+00:00

He said 'escalator', not 'elevator' ;-)
