To be fair, that guy's just an idiot who has either clocked his CPU too high or has insufficient cooling (or both). True, most games won't max your cpu at 100% for extended periods of time but if your PC can't take that, it's not configured to be stable.

To be clear it's 2017 and I'm in a thread laughing at a fictional game development company plus their fans, CIG have raised over $141 million dollars for a game due to be released in 2014. I'm no longer interested in being fair, not my responsibility, I quote stuff that makes me laugh, some of that is at the expense of CIG, some the fans, some a combination of both.

Even if CIG had no responsibility for chucking bland art fidelity at pcs until they threw up, I'd still quote that exactly as is. The idea that some Citizen will damage his computer due to being clueless about computers is still funny to me.

Not having a go at you, just being clear, my entire post was just a quote, you appear to be correcting what you think are my motivations.

Interesting analysis posted in that thread: https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/comment/7435907/#Comment_7435907

Only 6200 backers have played 2.6 Arena Commander Battle Royal mode (most popular). Only 480 of them for more than 2 hours and only 140 of them more than 6 hours so far.

So much for the greatness of the revamped flight model.

Star Marine novelty means 64000 players have tried Last Stand mode of which 5100 have played for more than 2 hours and barely 1000 have played more than 6 hours.

Given MoMA/Toast claims on his time in Star Marine he surely must be top 1% percentile in time played in the community. Way to go Toast. You are one committed citizen, friend.

I guess we could our secret network of people bringing this 'game' down the Sons of the Parpy


Serious question: with the 'completed' graphics, how are the developers supposed to know where or what the problem is? Surely it would be simpler/easier on the eyes to see and fix what's going wrong in a greybox than a fully rendered spaceship interior? Then again, IDUGD

Then again I think these people are just playing (Space) Minesweeper at this point. There was a picture in October/November that showed an office that had never been used before (maybe Ben's old office?), with people clearly pretending to be busy. I think a lot of them know the game is up and they're just running out the clock at this point. So why create content?

MULTIPLE GAMES OF STAR MARINE OVERHEATED MY CPU'S 8 CORES

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1 I played multiple games of Star Marine on 1080p at high settings and my cpu overheated and my motherboard shut it down for safety

ACTUAL RESULT
Rarely a game will do this. In fact the only other time was with an indie game remake of System Shock original. There must be some limit AAA games put on the cpu useage as I can play those for hours without a problem

EXPECTED RESULT
For my pc not to overheat and do an emergency shut down

Crysis averted.

Like sharks and other aquatic megafauna, the Backer Whale is in precipitous decline. Only careful conservation and habitat management will protect their numbers- however, such extensive ship sale trawling over such a long period of time is unsustainable for any species population.

ps: he also claims to have $8K+ in the game, something we've all suspected to be patently false.

But both the purchase and sale need to not be related parties. This definitely rules out CIG LLC, RSI INC, F42 and RSI LTD. It couldn't be anything controlled by Chris Roberts. Perhaps one of Ortwin's enterprises if all the script writing etc was done through that. It is of course all speculation.

Good point. We'll never know.

We were happy to see positive feedback from the Alpha 2.6 release and impressed by the number of stunning videos and images being created with the new camera controls. We have been digesting both our own and your thoughts on Alpha 2.6 now that it has been live for two weeks. We are planning releasing an incremental patch, 2.6.1 with some of the features that slipped out of 2.6, bug fixes for increased stability (although 2.6 was possibly our most stable patch to date) as well as continued balance and gameplay tweaks

The graphics are so fast and furious and there are so many skips there will probably be hundreds or thousands of issues like this. Chris Roberts should probably receive every single 8k bit map pixel before signing off on it.

All the talent is gone. If it can't be "kinda hacked" or modded in, I wouldn't expect CIG to break new grounds very deeply. This will include no-launch conditions. The internet crippling loader is probably the first of many horrible things to come out. This one is #2. Software design paradigms don't matter to Chris Roberts who last programmed maybe when DOS was popular. He's got no idea how to manage resources, graphical or otherwise. It's gonna be great. :allears:

MoMA probably played Star Citizen less than Chris Roberts. He's just out to troll and pretend to be the most interesting man alive with refinement and clever intrigue.

Although I still don't believe MoMA is Toast or a paid shill. He's just a dude with a Derek Smart bone to pick.
