"We just need to do our job and report what bugs we come across" says person who probably spent at least several hundred dollars to be a volunteer QA tester for CIG.

Meanwhile, the actual QA testers at CIG who get a paycheck every month have some more coffee from the ten thousand dollar coffee machine.

It would seem a lesson is offered in this recent cooling hardware discussion.

With an appropriate amount of fans, properly directed, you can create positive pressure, and thus able to make stuff cool.

With an excess of fans, poorly directed, you can’t make anything cool.

Lmao if you think they do inhouse QA or if they do that the QA people are nothing more than third rate contractors residing in the basement, drinking no name energy drinks in an unlit room 45°C hot.

I bet they don't even get to use the toilets regular employees use.

Here's something we can discuss that I could post in the proper thread, but I like and trust the people who frequent this one. Here goes:

I have a system build with an Intel I7-9700, and a Geforce 2700 Super. The CPU is cooled by an AIO cooler. The front of the case has 3 intake fans. The rear has 3 going out. Two at the top back, and one out the back, which is the one that flows over the AIO cooler radiator. It is a slightly positive pressure case due to the exhaust fans being behind holed screens, whereas the front fans are fully open.

CPU temps are 30 degrees idle. With a maxxed-out Prime95 stress test, it hits 66 degrees. So far so good.

The problem comes in when I stress the video card and CPU simultaneously. When the GPU gets hot enough for the fans to kick in, the hot air is forced up, and winds up primarily vented through the first fan it passes, which is the AIO radiator. Once I'm in that boat, the CPU heats up quite a bit, sometimes surpassing 80 degrees. It cools back down when the GPU fans spin down.

Ordinarily I'd have a side fan blowing into the case above the GPU to mitigate, but this is a glass case and I'd rather not drill holes into the glass.

Discuss.

Flip the AIO fan so that it is drawing air from the outside.
So you'll have 3 fan intake front, 1 fan intake rear and 2 fan exhaust top.

Maybe SQ42 can match Mass Effect and SWTOR and Titan Fall 2 in story, action, AI and immersion, and it only took them 10 years if they get Chapter 1 ready for a release in 2021.

The SC project already is behind in every aspect of technical fundamentals and engine functionality.
It’s just looking pretty, the sc reddit is proof that a community can live with screenshots and fluff, the missing game and core mechanics are just substituted by imagination and „coop“ 😂

If „falling behind“ in both MMO and SciFi Single Player areas was an ultima ratio milestone to reset the project, well, that point of no return was already passed like 2015, so about 5 years ago.

If a thing called release ever happens, be it an MVP or otherwise, I'm absolutely sure the following will be true:
- they will continue selling ships for $$$, they can say it's too fund the ongoing development. what is release anyways?
- they will sell game currency. Likely there's will be a very high cap so that whales can still whale but ci!g keep their promise that technically there's a limit.
- there will be seen optionally subscription, but everything worthwhile will be paywalled. Effectively making it a required subscription.
- there will be a cash shop with many p2win doodads.
- still no BMM
- chris wears black

They already removed the limit on currency purchasing:

They are not only 5 years behind Answer the Call 2014 or the 2500 days since Kickstarter ended and not even near of 20 % of the stretchgoals dome, they are even 3 years behind their Jesus Patch 3.0 that Christ Roberts announced 3 years ago.


Soon we will get the originally promised 3.0 features and content that was ALMOST done exactly at the end of 2016.

How does the sc community respond to a liar? They lost another 100 Million of money burnt for no game.
And coincidentally neither SC nor SQ42 had serious or even any progress since 2016.
3 years of incompetence and a pre alpha tech demo with minor gameplay modules that don’t even work in each aspect and can’t match actual games that were released a DECADE ago.
Planetary Tech V4.0 😂 that’s some amateur and hobby game designers study or fun project of 3 people in 2 years part time and that was built with assets copied from other games and in an engine of industry standards right?
No. It needed 7 years . And 400+ people. And 300+ Million. lol

Well done!
