With nvidia drivers you can easily set a global limit like this, but yeah its funny there isn't at least a 1000fps cap or something. Course, the people who play cstrike would hate that, but they could override it.

I have my drivers set to a global cap of 144 (my refresh rate) because why not?

Radeon drivers also have settings for limiting framerate, though it's not quite 100% effective.

If, in some alternate universe, Star Citizen became a reality the procedural birds would probably figure out the equivalent of gold farming and wreck the economy on their own from inside the server.

One of the things that's given us a lot to laugh about is, did SC actually move to Lumberyard or did they just say they did?

Crytek would like to know. They're probably breaking licensing contracts with somebody, if not everybody.

SC was using a CryEngine branch. Amazon bought a purchased a branch of CryEngine to use as there base for Lumberyard. Part of the purchase agreement allowed Amazon to sub license some CryEngine branches one of which was the exact one SC uses. So basically all CIG did was swap their license from Crytek to Amazon and changed the logos to Lumberyard and said they ported to Lumberyard. And because for some stupid reason CryTek allowed Amazon to sub license CryEngine CIG was able to escape most of the legal consequences.

One of the more invisible things about SC development is just the run of good luck they have had and done nothing with.

This is my understanding as well, though they did something with their good luck: made a lot of money.

Not quite the same though, in The Producers its actually a good idea that just barely doesn't work, and its a fictional play within the movie.

That said I think Movie 43 counts for "movie where the idea is this was a mistake"

Not only that but they literally make a bunch of Robocops that fail (the funniest one being the one that shoots everyone around it then itself) and then their final Robocop 2 is powered by the brain of a deranged junkie and also goes wrong. The entire film is pretty much refuting it's own need to exist.

Network Neutrality posted:

Net Neutrality I speculate would make server meshing simplier, easier, and run more smoothly than other wise. On the other hand I speculate the lost of net neutrality would make server meshing more complicated, harder to do and to run.

In very broad generalities net neutrality is the status quo. However for the US whether it stays or go had been on a knive edge. It is still there currently but it could be only a temporary reprieve. If nothing changes EU seemed to be maintaining it for now.

I think CIG server meshing with its heavy burden of connectivity would be very dependent on net neutrality to maintain a large broad popular player base. Otherwise fragmentation would result in to small elitist groups, or else everything have to be dumb down similar to how WOW is dumb down to make it a broad popular genre.

Stuck in bed posted:

I'm stuck in the bunk on my Cutlass Black and I can't get up.

New player. I went to Yela to try some mining with the ROC in my hold, but had to log out so I got in the ship's bunk. When I log back in, there I am in the bunk. But I can't figure out how to get up.

If I press F and try to find an active option to get up, there isn't one. There is one to log out, though, which covers almost the entire left side of my screen. And I have the option to do things to various items on my harness, like drop, inspect, activate, etc. These options cover most of the center and right side of my screen.

I'm using a Samsung CHG90 ultrawide monitor, and since there are so many other issues with the ultrawide monitors I'm starting to wonder if the 'get up' option is truncated out of my field of view somehow? (The global chat does that when I'm in a pilot seat, and the text on the loading screens is also cut off at the edge of the monitor. And visor effects like icing don't appear on the extreme left and right of my screen either.)

I have tried every keystroke I can think of or find online... none of them work. And here's the real pisser- I can't even backspace to commit suicide! It doesn't work either.

Any ideas? I know that there is some way to basically reset your whole account but, drat, that seems like a nuclear option.

Hmm. I searched, and evidently this IS a known issue with the Cutty's top bunk. One suggested workaround is to join Arena Commander Multiplayer (Pirate Swarm) and get killed or crash. I'm going to try that.

I mean, when your progress reports say poo poo like "X is ready and in but it's not activated because X is not ready to be in," then it's basically metaphysically impossible to gently caress up.

Greetings Citizens,

Our annual CitizenCon spectacular is back and going digital on October 9th! From sharing our latest developments, admiring epic cosplay, a bevy of community events, contests, and more, this event will be a memorable experience for all.

More from this week: Prep for our CitizenCon 2951 events starting with our community video contest and cosplay contest. Also, the Alpha 3.14 patch is now available on the PTU (public test universe) to all backers for final testing before release.

Thank you for your continued support,

The Star Citizen Team

If Star Citizen in any way approximated what was hyped to the backers, then a digital CitizenCon would be an opportunity to showcase ten years of development. Built-in FOIP support would render real-time convention speakers in high fidelity, their speeches accompanying gestures produced by the studio's in-house mocap studio. An A-list actor or three would make a surprise cameo, gushing with excitement over the upcoming epic single player adventure while struggling not to spoil Roberts' visionary script. Thousands of attendees would gather in the same virtual space, made possible by the ground-breaking code that meshes servers together seamlessly under the aegis of proprietary Star Engine (c) technology.

Of course, SC being what it actually is, it'll be a live-streamed power-point. Anything in-game will be a static environment showcasing whatever new 3d model they want to sell you for the modest price of a used sedan. And it'll be a jittery mess, with 50-player servers suffering from rubber-banding and all the usual signs of lag.

At least there will be more material for the next dreams.txt.

Really people can just do whatever they want and call it Star Citizen because there is no real "look" or famous character appearance.

It's like "sci fi punk" and whatever your favorite genre or appearance is, is totally thematic for SC.
