Of course not, they're all too busy being stoked that CIG is going to render the player's UI projected against the inside of their helmet glass instead of just doing it the easy (and possible) way for some loving reason lol

lol DapperDon that isn't even what they're supposed to give you when you request what information they have on you.

quote:

This right, commonly referred to as subject access, is created by section 7 of the Data Protection Act. It is most often used by individuals who want to see a copy of the information an organisation holds about them. However, the right of access goes further than this, and an individual who makes a written request and pays a fee is entitled to be:

told whether any personal data is being processed;
given a description of the personal data, the reasons it is being processed, and whether it will be given to any other organisations or people;
given a copy of the information comprising the data; and given details of the source of the data (where this is available).
...
In most cases you must respond to a subject access request promptly and in any event within 40 calendar days of receiving it.

and the US version is pretty similar and might even go further.

They're all idiots, and they seem to think that 'information' means just on their forums (which are now shut down)

I can bet you a brand new Constellation they had something really damning in their internal notes that they purged, and they're trying to avoid showing any other account details lest DapperDon figure out the ruse

Are the thruster values still bullshit? It used to be that the engine did simulate the effects of the thrusters in their modeled locations, but the models were so lovely and unbalanced that they had to resort to things like maneuvering thrusters producing more force than the main engine.

It's yet another day in the wasteland.

This just (re)surfaced on FDev, and I wonder…

quote:

CR: So it’s really more just about the fact that there will be a limit to how many players we can simulate on one server. Right now it’s 24 in Arena Commander and it’s about 40 when you’re running around Arc Corp. Really, that’s actually 8 instances running on one server. So, if you just times it by 8 and figure it out we could have 200 players if we could scale the game linearly that way but right now we can’t because it’s not – parts of it are built for multithreading and distributing to all of the cores but some aren’t. That’s what we’re doing a lot of refactoring on, so an individual server instance could perhaps run 200 players which then is obviously a lot denser than what we have right now and you would still seamlessly go between locations. But, on top of that if you can mesh those servers together and each server is authoritative over a group of players and generally those players would be based on colocation and each server tells the other servers what it has done with the players it’s responsible for. You can sort of, on a peer-to-peer basis on the server side, you can have thousands of players being simulated all at once but each server is only doing the work for its little portion. That’s the new model, we’re not the only people that are working on this or trying to work on this. It is the new model of using the big – using the cloud to give you a lot more game experience and that’s where we’re going. At some point, you know, we may even – that may allow us to have 2,000 people in the same area or whatever but what if there was maybe 10,000? At that point we probably would still have to instance. At the beginning here we’re trying to make it not feel instanced so you would be gated. So, if there’s already too many people in a location, ‘the landing pads are all full’.

a) Chris is never wrong
b) When he's wrong is because he's naive and trusting
c) If it is not naiveté it's because he's been forced to lie.
d) Him telling lies is actually good.
