August 6 2011 Development Update

[klem]

This is what many of us have wanted, real information. Many thanks.

PLEASE can you keep us up to date on this work on say a two week basis and add any 'next steps' as you pick them up?

I can't wait to get my hands on the sound beta and look forward to seeing the new graphics update that will come with it. No feedback on your screenshots because I'd rather comment on the real deal when it arrives.

For the 'fps have dropped' posters, please understand that the first fps number is an instantaneous figure that can vary dramatically second by second. The Average and Minimums are the ones that tell you how well it will run and a minimum of zero can easily show up under a number of circumstances, like if there has been a reload without resetting the FPS counter.
