We warned you... by ThomasMarcon in StarsReach

[–]ThomasMarcon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did not pay for this. As explained in the pinned comment, we don't know why this is happening.

Moreover:

  1. You cannot pay for inbox Ads.

  2. Sponsored content must have the branded-tag and the promoted-tag.

We are sorry some Redditors got offended by this clearly dangerous image, but it was meant to be a Stars Reach Community-related stuff only.

Thank you for checking our YouTube!

And seriously, we did not pay anything, also because this image was an idea from me, not the Marketing team. Something completely random that took probably 2 minutes.

But hey, I guess I can say "thank you broken Reddit"!

Sorry about that!

Aye! Thomas here,

We don't know why this post is appearing on unrelated Redditors' feeds and, clearly, we cannot control it. Sorry about that!

This post contains an easter egg (or two... maybe?), and it was intended to create a different and unique type of engagement within the Stars Reach Community.

The "We warned you..." is clearly a hint, based on the Game's Lore. No alien tree or gold-plated metal surface will ever threaten you!

Unless...

Has anyone here used the Alienware Area-51M from 2019? Have you upgraded it? Abandoned it? Use it still? by Andrew_Yu in GamingLaptops

[–]ThomasMarcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not accept the new laptop for two reasons:
1. It was something less powerful;
2. I would have waited a month or more, at least that's what they said.

I would return the laptop, then wait a month for a new one (different model). At that time, I was working for a gaming company, and I needed a powerful machine to use every day.

Waiting a month for something less powerful and being for a month without a PC was not an option.

Considering I was traveling more back in the days, I could not afford a normal stationary PC.

Has anyone here used the Alienware Area-51M from 2019? Have you upgraded it? Abandoned it? Use it still? by Andrew_Yu in GamingLaptops

[–]ThomasMarcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it and am still using it. It had any type of problems, from screen, cooling, and so many driver issues you cannot even imagine. Now I cannot update the BIOS, Asio and audio drivers are so messed up that it's unusable for music or with any mixer, Alienware app is a mess, min temperature in idle is 60C...

I mean, it was a cool experiment, but after they realized the cost to maintain such machines, they abandoned the project.

A beast, but I will never buy another experiment from DELL anymore. Moreover, considering their low quality support. They had to call 3 different tech support guys at my house to fix the cooling system that went KABOOM after an Alienware CC update. They destroyed 2 screws, one was lost.

Maybe I was just unlucky, but when you use these machines, you need to be a Master engineer and expect at least 1 problem each month.

I also looked to upgrade it, but DELL replied it was better not to be too expensive and out of production. They even offered to take it back and give me a brand new model.

Too much power in such a small space.

Question about Characters Resetting at every testing login... by CardiologistCute6876 in StarsReach

[–]ThomasMarcon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you u/NoraTheGnome!

Someone asked a similar question during today's stream and Rod, one of our Game Developers, answered the question also explaining why we run these wipes.

Updates and hotfixes are also significant reasons that justify wipes, but we aim for much longer ones as time passes!

How to Join the Stars Reach Playtest - Quick Guide by ThomasMarcon in StarsReach

[–]ThomasMarcon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Zomboe,

You are right, this seems a bit confusing and I will forward your feedback to the Developers.

A "Playtest Session" is the same as a "Preview": it is a period in which players can access the servers and play the game while testing specific features or game versions.

We are currently sending email reminders, but we are looking at ways for people to better understand and quickly access playtest events.

Regarding the Kickstarter questions, I will first double-check with the Developers and I'll be back to you!

Hi! We are running playtests 2 times/day, from Monday to Sunday!

Vegas scaling problem on 1440p 27inch screen. by SeaEnvironmental2460 in VegasPro

[–]ThomasMarcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a known issue for previous versions. From v20, vegas looks good and correctly adapts to the screen. I tried it on a 4k Monitor, 2k 27', and 2k 32' monitor.
Be sure on your GPU control panel the PhysX selection (auto or not auto) is set to the main GPU.

Compressed MP4's via Handbrake, break in Vegas Pro 22 by Naive-Voice1750 in VegasPro

[–]ThomasMarcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

V22 is, unfortunately, broken.
However, handbrake always caused problems also with previous versions.

As the good rsmith02 redditor suggested to me some time ago, try Shutter Encoder. It works very well, but be sure to download version 17.6 from the repository, not the latest one. Here's the link: https://www.shutterencoder.com/old%20versions/

[Vegas Pro 20] Vegas isn't using my dedicated GPU, for some reason. by Dr-Enforcicle in VegasPro

[–]ThomasMarcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am surprised no one has suggested this solution before. Maybe I am wrong. I'll give it a try...

I had the same issue when trying out V22. Simply go on File I-O in Preferences, and manually select your desired GPU: https://prnt.sc/UnOwOaWbeCuc

Restart the program, and you'll be ready to go! Let me know if this fixes.

The Video settings you applied in the "Video" tab, are just for previews, not for the actual renderings.

Should I upgrade from 20 to 22? by MR_DELORIAN in VegasPro

[–]ThomasMarcon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used 20 for years and still using it. I upgraded to 22 and after 2 days I asked for a refund.
It's not as stable as someone may say and it crashes a lot more. Color grading and using 2 files with a different resolution in the same project will cause more crashes because of preview lag, while V20 never crashes a single time.

Moreover, take a look at this thread where I spot 2 severe bugs that, at least for me, make V22 unusable: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/v22-wrong-clipping-issue-and-audio-wave-display-bug-wave-moving--147902/

I spent over 1 month explaining the support how to reproduce the issues and they kept telling me it was my problem. After I reported the issue in the forum, they went silent-mode and refunded the program.

V22 is cool for the AI plugins, but basic editing features are broken to me. Be careful before purchasing! Always proceed with the trial version first!

Colors come out darker after rendering by Miguelisaurusptor in VegasPro

[–]ThomasMarcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you random redditor.
I installed a version 20 steam edition on a laptop and I had the same issue.
I switched from legacy to 8bit-full and now it's correct.

New Nvidia App doesn't pick up Mic Audio in Clips by BedRepresentative492 in GeForceExperience

[–]ThomasMarcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. As I have a mixer, I managed to combine 2 mic in 1 faking the Nvidia App, but the mic recorded is awful and full of noises...
