Salute

Vonte

Just curious why are you still at 32 bit?

[Redroach]

to be fair, he said, there won't be anything "before" Wed even if everything goes "extremely well". And we all know how it goes at 1C

I could say "well, good, because then it gets more polish", but I've given up on that ^.^

First, let me address the issue you so clumsily raise. As long as the system requirements didn't exclude 32 bit OS platforms when people bought it, the company is obliged to support them. Similarly, if they want to make the sequel 64-bit only, it should say so on the box. Both of these are acceptable. What is problematic is if you say "we'll support 32 bit" and then don't.

It's the same reason they try to optimize the sim to run on the kind of hardware that's printed on the box. If they don't support 32-bit systems, maybe they should do away with the entire spec as well, why not? "Hey guys, we take it back. Go buy a $500 graphics card if you want to fly". Would you be happy with that? Because that's an exact equivalent of what you pointed out to Vonte.


Second, let me get my crayons for a second...

Osprey: The wording of your posts is a tad too elitist, even for a forum of pretend fighter pilots. To the point of provocative i'd say. Which is against the forum rules if done on purpose (willful provocation is the definition of trolling.)


Vonte: Your posts are completely off-topic for the post and draw more people into the argument. You take up a couple of pages all by yourself, instead of doing your replying in a single post and then you proceed to "vent your spleen" in a thread that is of a public announcement type and thus:
1) unsuitable for personal spleen venting and
2) closely moderated to ensure the signal to noise ratio is acceptable

I see your post count is low so i'll just assume you are not familiar with forum rules and guidelines. Please read the sticky containing the rules.


To anybody else whom it may concern: We want people to be able to actually find information and ask questions to BlackSix, without having to wade through inter-personal arguments that are completely unrelated to the topic. This is a thread about the features of a coming patch. It's not a thread about why the patch is taking as long as it does to come out, or what kind of computing knowledge each one of us has.


For the rest who already know the drill and still can't resist all i have to say is, this thread is now locked for cleanup because you can't help acting like babies and jumping on the throat of any random person you feel you can take in an argument

I'm in a good mood today, so no infractions/bans yet, but

Really, what an informative post, thanks for the time put in to post this. No wonder this thread gets off topic.

Thr0tt How can you say this thread gets off topic. Just the other day I was walking down the street and thought to myself... I wonder what time it is in Moscow if I am in Colorado and my cat is eating Tuna on a sand stone tile....
