She was absolutely enthusiastic about the result and partially due to the massive brain damage caused by the sledge hammer, she exclaimed to the world that she switched surgeons and that she now looks like the picture the surgeon created. Plus there is no way in hell Cate will ever recover from the damage she's done to her face and look anywhere close to her old self, let alone what the second surgeon photoshopped. But at least she's happy.

Drunk Theory posted:Not sure why. This is the most openly developed game in history. Which is why we needed to find this out from an non-engine team employee on a subforum for a competitors product. Yeah, I kinda agree with XK here. Parry is blabbing too much for his own good, and him being a member of the development team his quotes could be used in the press/ articles about Star Citizen (like that Kotaku one) which could potentially hurt the company. I do hope that he'll keep his job and no one will care though, because so far he has provided gold.

It seems like they just decided that it exists. Did they download it from some Amazon repo? Is there anyone left from Crytek to sue them? There's no 3.7 backwards version for Lumberyard. There's the CryEngine 3.7 version for which apparently Amazon's license includes access to its source code (as well as maybe more history versions stuff from CryEngines repository), but Amazon didn't change anything to CryEngine 3.7. They forked from 3.8.1 and only then did they start adding their own code. But because of the license thing, it's Parry's opinion that Star Engine can now say they switched to Lumberyard ("legacy code"), while essentially remaining forked off CryEngine 3.7 and doing nothing else. For the record, and not to make anything more complicated, but Amazon's engine (LumberYard) is at beta 1.6 AbstractNapper fucked around with this message at 10:25 on Dec 30, 2016 |

Happy New Year. And condolences to everyone whose 2016 was a lovely year and lost people close to them. Mine was like that too, and unfortunately some of it crosses over to 2017. But, at least I'm excited about the gem that 3.0 will be. And S42 first pre-pre-proper episode.

All or most of the important stuff will be shifted to 3.1, and nope, that is not coming in 2017, and there'll be still too much left to go until 3.2 and certainly 4.0 come 2018. No SQ42 release whatsoever. Maybe a "demo" for their cons.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:In the beginning backers were to get Star Citizen, Squadron 42, and early backers were also going to get "Behind Enemy Lines" which was some kind of expansion back. It doesn't seem to have changed much, but it still somehow seems messy... Also, yeah I don't remember anything about episodes being mentioned when I pledged. And nothing was mentioned about an option for the "expansion pack". But I wasn't an early backer so I must have missed that "Behind Enemy Lines" promise. Pity, because backer exclusive poo poo like that, do trigger me and I would have never backed this loving garbage company in the first place. And then, what the gently caress is the prelude or whatever? Is it episode one, or a prologue to episode one?

The netcode analysis guy also wonders why the update packets get so big that they have to be split into segments sometimes (when other better FPS use way smaller packets, which is more efficient and alleviates lag). I am guessing the 64bit precision may have to do something with this, as well as whatever inefficient format they use for the information in those packets (clear text? xml? json?) He takes the time to do that elaborate intro and explain ping and additional delays due to update rates, and then tries to even the field by subtracting the round-trip lag for Star Citizen (since there is currently no server in Amsterdam); he clearly wants the game to perform better after a few months of updates. Such as shame that it won't; it will become worse. Hopefully, that won't crush his spirit.

Hav posted:Packets are usually around 1500 bytes (depending on MTU, and when you get into high capacity, jumbo frames), but there's a couple of headers, so that reduces the payload somewhat. If they're encrypted, that will reduce the capacity by another 25% - they should be encrypted, as that stops local injection. TCP is ordered, which means that you're supposed to get the packets in the right order; miss a packet and it's resent. For this reason people used to use UDP; drop a UDP packet and nobody gives a gently caress. Streams use this a lot because they're like hoses, whereas TCP is entirely transactional. They are using UDP aren't they? The "netcode" analysis guy was looking at UDP packets. I think it makes sense for this case, even if some packets may get lost. But yeah, the payload format depends on their protocol. And it seems that they are not doing something efficient with it.

Merging SQ42 with Star Citizen would make sense. It's idiotic for them to keep to making two games when they practically and provenly can't handle developing one, while the project management is chaotic due to parpy Chris and marketing stuff is taking up all or most of their resources. However, it would be another link in their chain of broken promises and they have already sold SQ42 as separate packets to get more moneys. It also dramatically reduces the scope of SQ42 (lol 3 episodes with hours and hours of missions and gameplay). I was more interested in SQ42 than whatever impractical and unfeasable stuff they were dreaming about their MMO. I am glad that I got out before SQ42 implodes and "is now in the game".

quote:To sum this section up: I think CIGs focus is wrong. They got enough money. They are funded. They should focus on the actual gameplay and less on adding more and more fluff. Also rethink your PR. Act like the company you are, funded by the people. All your bills are paid by us, treat us with respect Bingo. Although, this is not a recent development. It's been this project's biggest problem (as far as actually developing a viable game goes) for years.

What's "most everything" then? Specifically. From that list in the reddit quote.

Everything new I find out about this If you have put money in this scam, I suggest you start the process for a refund ASAP. "I am no longer supporting this retarded project, which chases dreams, while still being in unimpressive pre-alpha and can't possibly ever be released " and it is so much better than "well, it's not there yet, but they are trying and I hope in the end it won't suck like it currently does".

AP posted:Interest in 2.6 is fading. Their current plan should indeed be to have something significant ready by August. Typically this could be a fake demo/ doubtful gameplay like last year (which albeit fake, achieved its goal and got everyone and their dog excited). So they would just put in crunch time (like they seem to do) for an isolated demo. However, fingers crossed, this scammy technique had its last good run last year and can no longer fly with most of the backers. In spite of the most stubborn shills efforts to spin this somehow. CIG probably has figured that out already or will be very soon. So, bottom line, I expect more interesting ways for them to disappoint and fail this year.

2.6.1 in mid-February, for Christ sakes. And then already planned a 2.6.2 after that? And that means more delay for a decent patcher (which is "planned" for one of the 3.x builds). Wasn't the whole point of the jesus 3.0 branch that they would drop 2.x not-code and not-planets and focus on stabilizing 3.0 awesomesauce asap?

I am not sure what I would prefer most. - Game review sites increasingly starting to hint or openly warn people to stay the gently caress away from the train-wreck that is the Star Citizen project or - SC reaching beta or release something in some form (SQ42 prelude) and getting terrible reviews with no "but it's still pre-alpha" to hide behind. I tend to think the second option would be more hilarious; and more realistic considering that game sites would rather hide behind community polls and cautious optimistic commentary while SC is still officially under development (and in pre-alpha). It would also be interesting to hear what people in the industry and popular title game developers really think about what this project's feasibility and viability chances are. Based on my experience, I'd bet that there wouldn't be one among them that wouldn't consider this project at this point hosed and way beyond salvageable. But again, at least publicly we won't be hearing much of that (ok Derek is one, but he is pretty much it so far, right?) until it's absolutely safe to say so and not get attacked by colleagues and especially Shitizen cultists/shills.

Wiz posted:It really doesn't get discussed that much, honestly. Usually only in context of comparing it to other disastrous projects or mentioning Roberts when talking about incompetent bosses. It's a standing joke but the joke's pretty old by now. Hmm, I expected as much. The joke getting old and people sort of kind of forgetting about it (even the small backers) is probably the best "place to be" for CIG. Drawing more light and attention to the project (with a beta SC/PU, or a SQ42 prelude) is more likely to hurt them than anything else.

That's their standard process for refunds, and, albeit it seems like you are talking to some polite robot I think they are not entirely automated and they do update this (maybe trying different stuff to convince you to have a change of mind). All of the people who request a refund will get an e-mail with a bunch of videos and text that says that you will be missing out on this great game they are making and talking about weekly and showcasing at conventions. Mine did mention at the end that if I still wanted a refund all I had was to confirm that (again) and then send my Paypal info.
