Ask the [Dev]s a (?)

Final release will probably be around 6 GB, give or take a bit . You will not be able to update from the beta to the full version.

And yeah, as mentioned earlier, the reason for fools road coming via an update was to test the updater. But we did not expect to have so many critical issues that required immediate patches . But yeah, it was good to see a large update in action, gave us some feedback on some stuff

[Doc.Pock]

is there a plan for regular updates after 1.0 now that there is an updater? or do we still get to wait 6 months

I don't think that really needs answering.

[Doc.Pock]

i hope

Just bring us Sangin and i'll never complain again.

I realized that my lag was caused because, even thou I set everything but the Effects and Textures on Low, the lighting, geometries and terrain insist on staying at Medium.

Is that intended?

So Devs, answer?

[Microwaife]

I know im not a dev, afaik they made it like this because many exploited low graphic settings to spot enemies better. Thats why thy removed to low possibility on some graphic settings.

[SShadowFox]

I've only heard that they would remove the "low" effects setting because of the exploit, didn't hear of anything else being changed.

BTW, what does "lighting" settings have to do with those "exploits"? It changes almost nothing and kills my FPS.

Is the explosion "smoke effects" shorter than they were before? It feels like the smoke should stay up for longer after impact.

I thought exactly the same few days ago but totally forgot it. Some explosions' smoke should stay definitely much longer, that could add some good points to the immersion, or even for hiding.

Shadows rendering for you but not for the enemy is pretty much an disadvantage.

[SShadowFox]

Yeah, but the enemy won't be shown as a black spot into the white wall.

Reason for this is probably to limit the amount of particles existing at any point in time. When there are more particles created than a hardcoded limit allows, excess particles get culled, causing effects to appear only partially or not at all. Meaning that long lasting particles will increase the chance other particles get culled. The same goes for sounds, btw.

Devs, I played the 1.0 Beta and noticed something : why do I have 30 fps by looking at the sky on Fools Road with all graphic options to low, where I had around 100 with all to high back in 0.98.

[Darman1138]

Do any of the DEV's plan on streaming 1.0 on Twitch again? It's been 3 days.

I broke my mic/headphones so I can't play effectively thus I can't stream :/.

Oh wow, what a bad timing you chose there! Feel sad for you

[Stemplus]

What assets are there on Ramiel 128?

Just noticed that it's actually the case on all the maps. Looking directly at the sky makes my fps getting lower than looking at an empty horizon.

Rudd, why did you change you bf2 nickname? Is it because you are actually a nurse(man) now?
