The posts where you have stated this has probably been skipped over because this thread is filled with an immense amount of unrelated nonsense. Thats why this happens, you have to disclaimer everything. Eightace has been out for almost a year now if i remember correctly and has said so multiple times. Why the hell would he know about ly?

Also on the engine change front, whats the smallest amount of their code you can use before you have to slap ly on there somewhere? I assume its if you use any at all.. Announcing a partnership or whatever doesnt tell you anything at all about what is used and what isnt, its all useless speculation. Imo it will all shake out anyways. This thread is reaching pretty hard right now.

This subforum should be gassed. This is something awful, there are endless opportunities to make fun of spergs here, and there are appropriate threads for that (that are far funnier than this poo poo).

On the subject of sc specifically its more interesting if both sides can discuss this poo poo on a more level playing field like the regular games forum. Probably more productive too.. I say that as someone who believes they are commiting fraud. Im very imterested in making sure the truth comes out about this and that cig is publicly shamed and ridiculed for this absurd and terrible behavior, but this just isnt the place to do it anymore. Its a poo poo show with copious amounts of snobbery on pretty much every subject, and a whole lot of cringe. Im not directing this at anybody cause all of this poo poo has its place but its loving stupid to try and do it all in one thread. I mean if you do give a poo poo about the implications of this, or consumer rights and protections, this is a horrible way to go about it.

Like 90% you are good people, so i want to make clear its not personal, its just that the thread is poo poo. Its the seinfield of threads, but it hasnt been funny for a long rear end time. Imo if its not relevant or funny find another thread. Theres cat threads, and burger threads, and whiskey threads, and im sorry but i just dont give a gently caress about what an ex star citizens has to say about any of those subjects if it's going to carry on for 15 pages. Like there is specifically a thread for akward, ugly, or gross where an sc sperg will slot right in and we can all laugh without having to make it personal and creepy etc.

Im drunk so im just going to say it, this is culty and a lot of you are on the spectrum. Some of you are autistic too.. lol get it?.. haha

get a refund.

I believe this too. But the one snag I have is the 64-bit stuff they took apparent months to hack in. I'm not a video game engine writer, but making a switch like that seems, to me, that it needs to go all the way down to the core. Everything on top of it would then need to be fixed to support it as well. Out of all the stuff they talked about doing, I felt like converting a 32-bit engine to support 64-bit scales and sizes would be the most difficult "ground up" sort of thing. It's the kind of change where most people would say "gently caress it" and start writing a new engine from scratch so they didn't forget something or break something else reliant on the wrong number convention.

Am I wrong in this thought? 64-bit is really one thing you can't just sort of build an external dll to handle like some kind of magical mcguffin. If they did convert to 64-bit, that claim of 50% engine modification seems legitimate.

Of course this also means you can't just merge in stuff from another branch of the old engine because literally nothing is compatible outside of maybe error messages or something utterly pointless and disconnected from the actual engine handling.

As a small example, look at the fuss from the modding community over the 64-bit Skyrim Special Edition. And that's a game where it's basically the exact same game and tools. Some stuff works, but anything worth a drat needs to be rebuilt. It's not just a matter of clicking a "convert to 64-bits" check box.

So tell me guys and girls, an I wrong here? Is the conversion to 64-bit not as big a deal as I believe it to be for a game engine?

We have finally arrived at a reasonable explanation. Chris is telling the truth (like-for-like) to conceal the fact that nothing substantial happened. This is a licensing move

The correct answer is to stop and laugh at the goons who "ironically" became redditors in the same way that a crazy person "ironically" climbs through the seat of an open air concert port-a-loo to roll around and wallow in the human excrement in the wheelie bin below.

I'm not sure if they ever publicly admitted to messing with the scaling of what they're building. Hell, I don't remember where we got the information that Vanduul are 9 feet tall and the ceilings were too low. I doubt it was an official source because that's embarrassingly lovely. So would scaling everything down to fit it all in with the pre-existing Cryengine positioning poo poo or whatever that makes everything jitter and break constantly.

yes.. whatever happened to all that work...

When you think about it, Star Citizen is a labor of love. Chris Roberts is doing all of this- exploiting people's unrealized dreams to raise funds for a fake video game, and spending it instead- as well as his own blood, sweat and tears- directing a mocapped movie for his wife to star in and hiring A-list actors for her to get her big break in Hollywood. Truly romantic.

-We're going to see 3.0 release much earlier than "mid-year."
-SQ42 will, at the very least, have a level (or few levels) drop this year. Though, I'm optimistic for a full release before end-of-year.
-Certain evocati will begin testing 3.0 very, very soon.

Quote the poo poo out of this if you want.

I wrote this back in Oct before they were dumb enough to switch to Lumberyard, five years into development

Ok. From what I hear, there will likely be one more 2.6 drop (2.6.1), which should include the first iteration of the "mega-map." That will be the primary test-bed for the Stanton (?) release in 3.0. There will be multiple stations, at least one full system to traverse as well as enhanced quantum travel and flight mechanics. My notes are still pretty vague, but hey: it's more than anyone else with a "source" on this gay thread, right?

Its insane that a team of nearly 400 people have accomplished so very little to show for. I dont think its a case that there aren't 400 people working on the game right now, but rather that they have a bunch of people that are incapable of meeting Chris demands. This isn't a slight against the people working at CIG though, you could have the best engineers in there and they'd still struggle to push out Chris's turd.

Which gives me an idea. CIG should just dump all the ships into their tiny little space box, add sliders for all their "physics" values, solidify a 16 player environment, then release the best drat space version of garry's mod. That's really the only way they salvage what little they've accomplished before it all goes tits up.
