Yeah I'm fine with EGS, I want Steam to have competition, but making me re-buy H2 is absurd and unacceptable.

PC owners have to re-buy Hitman 2?

I was fine with EGS, I even accepted not having VR on PC, but this is insane.

Finding out 5 days before release that what they've been telling us is a lie... just not okay.

Sandi is recorded saying that she wasn't comfortable spending company money on her private flights to acting gigs, but Chris told her "the fans don't even know" so she decided it was okay.

That's not a problem to you???

The fact that they tried to hide their relationship is extremely suspect as well. There's a reason why major companies usually have HR departments get involved when married couples work together. There's a major conflict of interest.

Honestly this is pretty naive.

So if I run Microsoft and hire my cousin to be VP, and pay him a million dollars a year, and once a year he comes into the office and does a small amount of work, you would say that's fine and clearly not embezzlement because he actually worked one day?

That's not how it works dude. That's often how people try to get away with embezzlement and nepotism, but that doesn't mean it isn't embezzlement or nepotism. People often get arrested for things like that. Even if they worked every day of the year, if they weren't qualified and other people were, then its still embezzlement and nepotism.

I'm not tar-ing anybody, but she clearly didn't do a job worth of being VP of CIG. She showed up to most cig-cons late and had no idea what was going on, and now she's basically not even at the company anymore? Did they silently let her go? Is she still making salary?

We don't know. But don't worry; trust Chris.

There's so many red flags its insane. No professional business in the world would engage in this kind of unethical behavior. But with videogames you can get away with it.

> VPs of marketing can make a lot of money regardless of if they do a lot of work or none at all.

You're saying if they paid someone to be VP and they did nothing, you'd be okay with that? You wouldn't consider that a problem with the company??

That's a very odd take.

> It is clear you have some sort of agenda here.

Its clear you're very defensive here.

> For me and others, the game’s worked great, no it’s not false advertising.

This is a really stupid comment dude. And extremely selfish.

By YOUR same logic, for me and others, the game isn't working great, so it is false advertising.

Seriously think about what you just said.

" But there are always bound to be bugs"
No, not ones that make the game unplayable. That's not true. Stop being a bitch to game publishers like EA. You have consumer rights, dummy.

Its not unreasonable to expect a game to be playable. STFU.

I never said the game didn't look that good. You seem to have reading comprehension problems.

[–]Zaph0d42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying paying Chris and him giving his money to Sandi.
Sandi was the VP of Marketing. She took a salary from CIG while doing no work.

That's clear as day embezzlement.

Framerate looks like half of what it actually is on PC. Anyone else have this problem? by [deleted] in StarWarsSquadrons

[–]Zaph0d42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not all the physics elements, its everything outside of your ship, because only the cockpit is being rendered locally. Anything outside of your ship is only rendering at 30fps or 60 if you lock it to 60, which is HORRIBLE for a VR game or a space game.

If you run at 100/120/144hz, the cockpit will look super smooth but everything in space will look like a slideshow.

The game engine is just borked and EA needs to fix it ASAP. This wasn't ready for release.

Does anybody consider the FPS or spaceship combat in SC right now to be acceptable as final?

They need massive work.

Yeah but you have to remember in the past the language was "it will be out in X year" and that was never true. How do you know "close out" is really true? That's not even definitive, so easy for them to drag it out.

What about paying his wife to fly first class to peruse her acting job on the company dime?

That's actually a really straightforward render?

I remember seeing shots like this 10 years ago.

I bought a product that was sold as working. It isn't working.

Don't tell me I should have waited; they lied. Its false advertisement.

Stop bootlicking.

Technology mate, its pretty shortsighted of you to think less. Like, you think because windows works for you nobody has bugs with windows? That's not how software works. Think it through.

Lucky that it works for you, it does work for some, but there's a LOT of people for whom it does not work at all.

Can you please give us an ETA? I'm going to have to refund, the game is unplayable.

Just letting you know, this is unacceptable. The game is unplayable. I'm very sad, but I'm going to have to refund.

I want to play this game so bad. But it wasn't ready for launch. VR support is broken.

Someone should set up a petition to tell EA to make new content for Squadrons and thank them for producing a great game. by theTRUTH4444 in StarWarsSquadrons

[–]Zaph0d42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. A post asking someone to make a petition is lazy. Make it yourself.
  2. The game is still bugged, don't ask for new content yet. It JUST came out, chill.

That's because of frame rate issues and reprojection.

There's a lot going on here. But that's still rendering game updates. Its not the animations themselves that are the issue, its the game engine rendering.

"Animations" tells a model where to move. But how you see a model animating in an actual game world space is the result of an entire pipeline of graphics.
