A question for the development team…

My question is about the computers being used during the development and testing of Cliffs of Dover.

Every one is posting there system specifications in their forum signature, can you please post the computer hardware and soft ware used by the development and testing team.



Motherboard:

Processor:

Memory:

Video Card:

Sound Card:

Operating System:



Thanks

I think they use humpa lumpas, woodoo spells and tons of cheap vodka

I have to bump my friend's post here.

I really feel this is critical information.

It seems that the machines that the development team are using don't have the problems that many (most? ) of the rest of the playing community do.

Just looking at the comments in both of the beta patch sticky threads, it seems that low end machines are seeing some improvement, yet the majority of players with mid to high end computers are seeing little, if any improvements, and in some cases have seen performance degradation.

Knowing exactly what machines Ilya and the rest of the team are using to actually play the game would be a big help I think.

Good idea!

It doesn't matter what hardware they use. From what I've seen since the release, I don't think the guys working on the graphics understand all the code they work with.

This is the only thing that could explain the fact that the game is looking crappier and getting more and more bugs from patch to patch.
The graphics engine was put together by a very talented programer, that was fired some time before the release. The graphics engine was not finished and they got rid of the guy that knew how it worked and how to finish it.
The guys hired to do his job are obviously not up to the task, since there's such a strong contrast between the parts of the game that came with the release and the crappy stuff added or "fixed" after.

I don't think this game is saveable with the team working on it at this time.

If you look at the polls, most of the comunnity is getting better performance

A follow up to my curiosity about the computers used:

Do you build your own computers?

Do you or any one at 1C play COD? You know, at lunch time do you fire up the game to see who the next ace of aces is going to be.






Thanks

(I hope I'm not being to nosey)

Bound to happen if you cut out or turn off more and more eye candy.
