1 year after breaking it, they finally fixed:
-Some systems running multiple displays may experience mouse lag when at least one display is enabled but powered off.
I like to put on my Rift and turn off my main monitor at night, so that the light flickering doesn't bother my kids trying to sleep. The first driver of 2018 caused the computer to be unusable in this mode. About October they partially fixed it where I could kind of use my computer like this, but I'm glad this is finally fixed. |

Duke Nukem Forever was in development for 15 years.
GTA V was scheduled to come out on PS3/Xbox and PC in 2012. It took a full extra year for just the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions to come out. Boy were they buggy! The PC version finally came in 2015. We even got the PS4 and Xbox One versions in 2014. This was a development group of 1000 people.
CIG just reached 400 employees. They had 300 last year.
Are they late on SQ42? Yes. Are they late on Star Citizen? Yes.
Are they giving us much more than they originally scoped for? Yes.
Originally we were going to get a Wing Commander 2 type deal and a Freelancer multiplayer. What we are getting is a Wing Commander III and what Chris imagined Freelancer 2 would be like.
They better get SQ42 out next year! As for Star Citizen, I'm already having more fun playing it than many so called finished games. |

The one where your computer constantly freezes every few seconds.
I have a DVI monitor, a HDMI monitor and an Oculus Rift.
I can unplug the Rift, turn HDCP off on my HDMI monitor and use that.
I can unplug the HDMI monitor and use my Rift and DVI monitor.
I cannot use all 3 at the same time. I cannot turn off the DVI monitor while using the rift, like I used to, without the freezing.
Up until February of this year I used to used to use my Rift to look at my two monitors while they were off, no problems.
I went back to an older driver for a while, but things required me to downgrade to a newer driver to keep using it. I think it was GTA V and I think video rendering stopped working. |

Still no fix for the Fraken DRM?
So I still can't use my two monitors because of the MPAA criminal organization and AMD's incompetence!
It used to work fine, unfortunately I can't go back to the working drivers because some of my games won't work with the old drivers.
It has been almost 10 months, how incompetent are their driver team?
I know finding bugs can be hard if something is hard to reproduce, but they know exactly how to reproduce the problem.

Normal game play does look like this though. All backers of Star Citizen can login right now and see this level of quality in the Persistent Universe. Yes, it is buggy, yes framerates can be low at time, but what you see in the trailer, is what you get in game.
You can even go see this when they run the free fly weekends without spending a cent.
I don't see any reason why SQ42 which uses the exact same code, shouldn't look as good as what we see in the trailer.

I do. My issue is with people claiming this is all "in game footage" with the implication that normal game play with look like this cinematic. It is a good trailer. Blizzard makes good trailers. I'm guessing/assuming, the SC trailer is as representative of actual game play as Blizzard's are... |

Ya, they said we should get a roadmap for SQ42 for last December, then it was January, then it was soon.
I like this project and all, but for the SQ42 roadmap I'm going to have to say, I'll believe it when I see it.

They also stated last night that we should get a roadmap to completion for Sq42 in December. |

Big difference between WOW and this trailer! WOW uses completely different models in their trailers than in game.
This was using almost all in game footage. Logo, transitions and music probably being the only things done in post.
It is true that the game will not look like this when it comes out, but thats only because it will look slightly better. They are still working on the hair technology. They showed off the clothing improvements they just completed in the last week with cloth simulation.
They don't use higher polygon models, or textures for the cutscenes. Chris has even said that most cinematics you can break out of cinematic mode and watch from your character's perspective, where you can walk around.
Mr. Tact wrote on Oct 11, 2018, 11:42:
Really? I mean it was a quality trailer, they did a good job. But looking at the trailer and hoping the game would be anywhere close to what you see is like watching one of the WoW trailers and thinking WoW would be like that. It just isn't so. |

| Either you don't know the law, or don't live in tge USA, or Canada. The law specifically allows people to resell items, including games, without the concent of the publisher. The fact that game publisher purposely subverting the law doesn't make what they are doing legal. What they are dping is actually illegal, but you would need someone with deep pockets and lots of time to go after these publishers for tgeir illegal actions. |

Didn't they already basically say that they were going to have a PC version by having the double revolver unlock in GTA Online?
Remember the ad for PC also said to unlock stuff in RDR2. |

All I heard was Lies, Lies, Lies. Lies, more lies and concluding with a lie.
We have lied to you and screwed you over for decades now, but believe us when we say we are learning how to better trick you into thinking we will somehow change. We will improve our lies and give you less content while monetizing more after already charging you for a full game and not delivering. |

Heroes of the Storm Offering Original Price Refunds? |

And Blizzard is offering full refunds to those that cannot meet the new requirements right?
I personally have never bought, or played it, but if anyone's computer does not match the new minimum requirements, by law, they are required to to offer a full refund of the price the person paid, or some way to play the game in another way.
There is already case presidence for this. |

Most companies, even if you pay a monthly fee, just tell you to suck it up. Even Loot Crate, which seems to be chronically late now, barely offers an apology. Good on you Facebook!
Though on the software front, VR is very much in the early adopters phase, I don't regret buying the Rift and would recommend it to others.
For me, it was a Rift, or a 28 inch 4K monitor and I think I made the right choice. Especially with the exact future of monitors being in flux right now. |

Most of the time the settings application fails to install.
Sometimes Windows 10 seg faults and reboots in the middle of installing the drivers.
I found a 50% success rate if I uninstalled the drivers, deleted the old drivers install directory, ran the AMD clean-up utility, then manually go into the registry and remove any AMD references.
Up until December's driver I could just download and run the installer.
Up until October I could use the built in update button.
I didn't try the February drivers, as I didn't want to fight with my system to get things working again. |

Seriously, doesn't AMD test their installers?
The Adrenaline installer is worse than whatever AMD did to the Radeon installer when they first bought out ATI. The last two times I've installed I was wondering if I had to sacrifice a live chicken to the AMD gods to get things to work.

I agree theyarecomingforyou about the case not being strong. The only problem being that this is a court action in the US, and as we have seen by cases like SCO vs IBM, these things can get drawn out for years. The SCO case going on 15 years now.
The one bit of hope is that CIG is getting sued in California, instead of Texas. Which I find a bit surprising as CIG's original office is in Texas and the Texas court is more likely to draw this out. California is more likely to actually take a look at the documents as presented.
Too bad this isn't Canada. Our courts, though imperfect, would throw this case out with prejudice. The original filing is exploratory, meaning they are trying to find proof of breach of contract, instead of having proof. This is highly frowned on in Canada. Then they purposely misrepresented the contract, which even if they had provided some proof, is grounds for complete dismissal. |

We only know pieces of information about Crytek's financials and current owned IP, but what we do know is in 2013 Crytek was unable to make payroll multiple times for 1 to 2 months. This lead to many lead devs quitting their jobs. Some of these people started the Frankfurt RSI Studio. In 2013 CIG and Crytek renegotiated their deal. According to ex-Crytek employees it was Crytek that approached CIG to buy a normal GLA for for the price reduced by the amount CIG had already paid. This allegedly allowed Crytek to start paying their employees again.
In 2015 Crytek was having troubles making payroll again. Amazon bought a license to CryEngine 3 for an undisclosed amount. According to at least 4 anonymous employees the deal was for full rights to the CryEngine 3 for $50 to $70 million. Crytek was using the CryEngine 4 at this time.
Reports continued into and through 2016 of employees not being paid for up to 6 months. At the end of 2016 one of the disgruntled accountants said Crytek was $23 million in debt. This was after selling 3 studios, multiple franchise IPs and trying to sell, or close down 3 more. They were trying to go down to 2 offices. Not surprisingly, during these periods of non-payment many more senior developers left the company.
My take, I don't think Crytek is worried about not licensing their engine anymore, I think the financial hardships and lack of skilled developers has long since kept new companies from considering CryEngine. |

Try re-reading it. This means you can pay to not only get better gear, but also be paired with people you can slaughter with your new gear.
It quite literally is pay to win.

The thing that irks me about this, is that this is once again simply common sense. It's already obvious that junior players are going to see the pros running around with their (a la TF2) iPod earbuds and hats for their hats and Santa Claus beards and want them too, and head off to the store. Activision is simply codifying this into a patent so they can get the jump on other devs/publishers in the industry.
It's just so sad watching the industry go this way. |

Actually 2.x was branched from master about 15 months ago when 2.4 was released. While the features from 2.5 and 2.6 would have been merged to master, some fixes would have been too time consuming to merge to the old branch they have been releasing from.
We are getting over a year's worth of work. Also, they already have some 3.1 items done. Can't wait for 3.0 and hopefully 3.1 will make it out before the end of the year. |
