That's not completely implausible, but for it to be true, there would have to be something really bad going on in the engine.

You can be overloaded in memory (so you swap/thrash), in network I/O, or in CPU, ignoring other I/O bottlenecks that should not apply.

- If the servers were thrashing, behavior would be much, much worse than it is, given the orders-of-magnitude gaps between even the fastest SSD and memory

- It shouldn't be network I/O, because the client already has OCS, so server side OCS should not touch this.

So that leaves CPU, which means either that the server assets that no one is interacting with are themselves unnecessarily consuming CPU (for what?), or that the engine physics is constantly taking into account a bunch of assets that cannot possibly interact with anyone.

So if the last one is the case, the commandos would be right, but that would mean that the engine is seriously unable to handle large universes, and any fix would be way, way more complex than the mere on-demand asset loading implied by the SSOCS naming.

Dude, the commandos aren't right, know they aren't right, and don't give a gently caress about it. The point is that the game sucks and tech X will solve it so everything is fine and buy more ships.

Once tech X arrives then it will be tech Y what will solve the issues because only somebody who knows nothing of game development would think tech X was the solution.

Wow, so many parallels.

But they had a publisher, so that's obviously why it released. SC isn't limited by a publishers so its free to fail.

Add a couple more minutes of footage, maybe another ship or three, and some space sequences, and we've got a kickstarter.

Good stuff.

Quavers posted:

"Ultimately nothing matters until we get SSOCS, but I'm definitely not having as much fun now as I previously did. Again, though, it doesn't matter if the game is tons of fun or a total borefest right now, I predict everything will change once SSOCS is finished and we can start balancing everything without lag/desync/ESP/etc. biasing our opinions."

New jesus patch on its way

Lack of lag always makes borefests suddenly fun because of that bias.

Spectrum's been super-salty for a while. We focus pretty heavily on the hardest of the hardcore cultists but there's a lot of anger in the community as a whole. It tends to peak right after the latest extremely disappointing patch release, and then ebb a little bit when the next wave of promises and hype videos come out. Some day their rage will overcome their goonfear and we'll get an influx of new posters, I imagine.

He needs to be loyal to CIG and use all his spare time to do whatever Chris Roberts wants.
