All hands on deck. All leaves are cancelled.
 

Hi everyone,

Quick update from up here on the flight deck.

We never in a million years thought that this darn full screen mode could give us so much trouble. It's the last thing standing between us and fluid framerate, and what seemed like a simple feature is taking forever to make.

I've said with the previous beta patch that we'd be taking some time off, but because of this patch we've all postponed our holidays and are working feverishly to get the patch completed.

Today was another day when in the morning we thought we were almost there, but as dusk approaches the realization sets in. We need another day.

The good news is that in the meantime we ironed out both Crossfire and SLI support and generally did a lot of other good things to the game. Rest assured that this one persistent full screen issue is not preventing us from improving the game in other ways and proceeding with the plan.

As we approach event horizon with the patch, we may or may not decide to release it as yet another beta version. SLI and Crossfire support are kind a big thing. We'll think it over some more.

I'll be back again tomorrow with a progress report, and hopefully with a patch!

Crap, sounds like I will have to buy me that second HD6970 after all now :(

Sounds great though Luthier, thanks for the update and all the hard work you guys are putting in!

Wow! you guys are stars!

good luck with the work:)

Sneaky monkey!:grin: Good news luthier, thanks for being a workaholic.;)

Could we also get more information on mission scripting. Seems there are wonderfull possibilities, but without documentation it's hard to figure them out.

Thank you Luthier!

Thanks for the update. The hard work is much appreciated :)

Thanks for the work :)

Wow. Thanks for all the hard work.

Sorry you have cancelled your holidays but I guess none of you would have been able to rest easy knowing there were still issues which needed fixing.

Hats off to you and the team.

I look forward to the next update.

Luthier - thank you for the update ... and sorry for your holidays ;-). Hold on!
