Is kinda of hilarious that even on the trailer, the FPS drops are insane. I know they still have 5 weeks but they haven't put much effort on optimization yet and the game while it's fun, looks really dated for the amount of horsepower needed.

Well that makes sense since, by definition, if they haven't done much optimisation yet the trailer was recorded on unoptimised code. Also with regard to looks, I'm convinced that the game isn't bottlenecked by rendering polys or effects, but rather gets boned heavily by the physics. It runs find until you start smacking into stuff and throwing things around, and then it starts to slow down a lot. If they can optimise that, the whole thing should run a hell of a lot smoother. Then any other rendering optimisations they can make will be icing.

I'm most looking forward to load time optimizations myself. I know I'm not running the game on an SSD but cripes, 4-5 minutes per load is kinda ridiculous.

Seems kinda early for them to go out of beta. The game is still unoptimized.

Nobby said on today's stream that the load times are being worked on, but we still shouldn't expect the game to load instantly. I'm getting ~20-30 second load times on my SSD, still pretty bad but a noticeable improvement from the pre-alpha. Car splitting and CarMODgeddon are apparently coming in later patches.

It needs another three full tracks, overhaul of ped graphics, peds in multi and better FPS/loading times to be finished but hey, for a kickstarter it turned out pretty well.

Greetings. I really enjoy this latest Carmageddon game, despite the performance issues. What are your best moments? I like the part when you drift into the stadium and brutally injure dozens of American football players, it's a real fun moment of the game. What about you??

Doc Morbid posted:Final release date: April 23rd. I'm pretty sure the version we have as the Beta is not the same version as whatever they're currently working on, so it's likely a lot further along than you'd think. And that Beta could've been from months prior to its release, too.

Pile-driving peds into the wall is always fun, as is frying whole groups of them with the Pedestrian Electro-bastard Ray.

It really shouldn't take a minute to load anything on an SSD. First few times I played, I thought the game had crashed while loading.

In an MP match on Maim Street with my friend, he's chasing me down with Mortars or something. I get to a hill and stop dead just past the lip. He comes rocketing along and flies over the top of me. I hit him with a Repulsificator from underneath and he goes flying sky high and out of the map.

Bold Robot posted:It's definitely not bad but it does kinda look like they did the whole run out of money and declare it a finished product thing. Isn't that vid recorded with the current version we have? Nobby said last stream that they stopped updating the beta and set a release day because maintaining essentially two branches of code (one for steam beta and one as an unstable in progress main branch) was wasting far too much time and resources. Remember that they can't really just dump their latest build to the players as it would most definitely be unstable and you'd get even more complaints, so each of these update builds had to be specially prepped and stable/polished enough for the general public. As someone who does some coding I know how much work doing this kind of thing can take. I would have made the same decision as they did, stop the beta updates and just concentrate on one final release build.

No, reputable company Stainless has done all the work they're going to do and are now running cackling into the night with a bag full of money, so much money that some is escaping due to the momentum of their gleeful running. But they don't care, because it's so much.

The beta came out what, a month ago or more? It's not "a month of work", they've been working on their build since before the beta was released probably. Also, they surely won't be releasing any additional content after release, they're just going to dump that poo poo on us and flee.

Disgusting Coward posted:Do you think any meaningful improvements to the game will be made between now and release? As TheCoach tried to explain... those meaningful improvements have been being made since way before the release announcement. The Beta, while it has recieved as couple of desperaately needed bugfix patches, is not the most up to date version of the code, probably by a long long way. So yes, I expect there to be many many meaningful improvements to the finished product over the beta.

I'm assuming you're the same Maximum Sexy Pigeon from the Reincarnation soundtrack. Good to see some goon representation in Carmageddon, and the MSP songs fit the game really nicely. I'm one of those guys who prefer to play their own Spotify playlist or something during Carmageddon (back in the 90s I had a pile of Iron Maiden and The Offspring CDs next to the computer and would change them as needed  ), but the stuff that is in the game fits so well that I didn't switch to my playlist until I was almost done with career mode.

quote:Mr. Hamster died as a result of suffocation due to complications arising during an alleged “personal interaction” between him and a member of staff at Stainless Games. No further details of the “interaction” are being released at this stage, pending further investigations by the police and the RSPCA. But a witness who arrived at the Stainless offices shortly after the alleged incident said that as well as a cage, small wheel and other recreational equipment, some miniature “costumes” were removed from the scene and, “a short length of plastic tube”.

I've been pretty apprehensive of posting in here because the last time I posted anything to do with our music it bought out the douchebag in the elite music types, and gently caress, I don't need that poo poo. It's a weird story how we got the gig, I'll tell it sometime, but it took 3 years to finalise.
