Isn't in that video the older OpenGL game engine which they later on scrapped in favor of DirectX ? :mad:
I believe the switch from already OpenGL steady progress to DirectX
proved to be much more difficult than anticipated .
Pretty smooth video play there going on :(

Thats because it was faked, the story about Youseff posting up footage from his beta copy and betraying Oleg and Luthier was fictional in order to show the game running superb, the whole deception worked very well and there was much rejoicing on this forum, I was one of only a few who saw through it. Obviously when the game was released the community soom realised that the performance in the 'leaked' beta could not be achieved.

Not that hard to figure out if you THINK about it...

This is alpha beta shots you are seeing.. Which means not everything in game was working. Why do you think all the shots are over nothing but water on most shots.. Doesnt have to do any work for detail on the land or anything so you were able to enable all the nice clouds and mirrors effects ect. To add all that in at the same time with the complete game was to hard on the CPU's and had to disable or degrade some of the effects.

This video was leaked by a member of the dev team, not a beta tester. If you want to keep barking up the same tree, at least do your homework mate :-P

I wasn't referring to this video, like i clearly stated the 'video by Youseff from the beta'. Barking resumed.
