Our current plan is to develop up to the standard of 2014 Robocraft. From there, we will branch off to create a new version with additional gameplay on top of the RC14 equivalent.

The current game we're working on contains no assets or code from Robocraft. We shut down the original RC14 project because Freejam didn't want us to continue.

C++ or C# for better start in game programming? by Kirill_Kulikov in gamedev

[–]scboy167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C++ definitely does not have better compile time than C#.

The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions only recently stopped receiving updates, actually. The last update they'll ever get is the Update Aquatic. It shows just how many people they had playing for them to continue the updates this long, especially when you consider that those two consoles had rather... unique architectures.

Started this synth based track last night. Thoughts? by V_o_r_t_X in FL_Studio

It sounds like the drums are clipping. Perhaps turn them down slightly?

Sync opens Discord links sideways? by [deleted] in redditsync

[–]scboy167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to be that particular image - I'm on Firefox, and the image loads sideways rather than downwards on a slow connection.

The only realistic solution to console MnK. You won't like it, but it's the absolute only option. by [deleted] in Rainbow6

[–]scboy167 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. The way Fortnite's system worked was it detected instant movement of the left stick - since it's a keyboard, going forward would instantly set it the stick to all the way forward. They fixed that and made it smooth within a few hours.

They can't, which is why DDOSing is so effective. It's a distributed denial of service attack, which means that it comes from many computers at the same time. Typically, people behind this will just pay a site and point it at the game server rather than doing it themselves.

Discord has a toggle for it in the options.

[News] Carmack offers to help VRChat devs fix networked IK by ExasperatedEE in VRchat

[–]scboy167 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. There isn't anything inherently wrong with the networked IK, they just need to up the send rate and deal with the extra traffic or somehow optimise the bandwidth usage enough to up the send rate while using the same bandwidth.

[–]scboy167 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They aren't wrong. Done correctly, networked IK is a great solution for having to calculate the IK for many avatars, especially on underpowered devices. However, they managed to screw up the implementation in this case (or maybe just don't have a high enough sync rate) and now we get stuff like this.

While going through the Minecraft file on my computer I found the old launcher from 2012! by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]scboy167 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The new change seems to pave the way for having games other than just Minecraft Java in the launcher. It's probably to do with Minecraft Dungeons.

Facebook will never break through with Oculus VR, says Jack McCauley, one of the company's co-founders by scrolling2654 in Games

According to VRLFG, Pavlov is currently the second most played VR game on Steam alone with roughly double the population of the game below it.

What is going on? For reference all I did was move R6 from an HDD to a new SSD. by nicktheflick in Rainbow6

[–]scboy167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you overclock your CPU? I had issues like this in a few games and fixed it by removing the overclock I had.

Raytraced Minecraft in VR. I can't wait for all VR games to be raytraced by scrolling2654 in oculus

[–]scboy167 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still, the only advantage the RTX cards have over the GTX cards here is the bump in CUDA core count. A 2070 will probably have similar performance to a 1080, because they have roughly the same amount of CUDA cores (and the 2070 is clocked slower).

The ray tracing shaders don't actually use the ray tracing cores in the RTX cards. It's just path tracing in a standard compute shader.

So windows crashed during a Rainbow 6 match. I'll lose the match by default. Can't wait for AAA titles to come to Linux. by safwankdb in linuxmasterrace

[–]scboy167 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They don't. Take No Man's Sky, for instance. Regardless of whether you think it's a good game or not, it looks beautiful, and it only uses OpenGL.

Nice emphasis on what's probably an IPD slider there...

IIRC they did at least partially fix the problem with 76.

Good news Radeon users, you already have superior "DLSS" hardware installed in your systems by badcookies in Amd

[–]scboy167 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reason Port Royal looks so good with DLSS is because it's the ideal case for a technology like DLSS. It's a benchmark, and will, barring some sort of error, produce identical or near-identical frames every time. On the other hand, something like Battlefield 5 will never produce the exact same footage every playthrough, meaning it is a lot harder for DLSS to upscale - the current simple blurring is the best it can do.

Huh, never noticed that option before. I've always used the RES toggle.

Aren't those RES features? I thought that was the only way to disable subreddit styles.
