The Crystal Ball

I've not been reading too much here for a while, waiting for the game to be in a better state, and just a bit surprised to read this:

Is that true? I thought they'd been trying to optimise it since the epilepsy debacle, have they said that there's a lot more optimising to do?

Must admit I am slightly bemused by the epilepsy thing. A few months ago they were saying anti-epilepsy measures were an absolute must for legal reasons despite massive performance hit. Then it was made optional with the ability to disable it - which of course everyone did. And now it has to be disabled because of the psychodelic colour effects.

Yep. According to Ilya's (Luthier's) last post to this forum the recoding should result in 50% increase in performance or better.

That would be good. But how much are they supposed to be recoding? They can't do it all, and I thought they'd already tried to do it before.

Good questions to which none of us have the answer. . The intrigue builds....... LOL

apparently the graphics engine is being worked on for the next patch, a forecast of 50% increase in fps

they should say what settings you'll be able to use with the minmum specs really. with a screenshot of the settings and what the game will look like.

ftr my rig is far from stellar, but the game became playable when i went from xp with 4gb to win7 and 6gb, and that was back in may.

hhmmmm... we lost about 10% or 15% in performance with the latest patches, so maybe we will gain a 35% or 40%??
seriously... the game before the patch was almost playable with not so many stutters and fps drops, really, but with the latest patch we got a great freaking awesome sound, and fps drop when dogfighting (well, for me is this). It will be amazing if we can have a smooth game when we fight
