How are thing going for everyone game wise?

[kristorf]

At this point this game is dead, it seems that the Dev's are floundering and pinning all hope on the sequel.
However, who will buy it with the lack of playability of CLoD, or more to the point, who will trust 1C to release a working game that won't require 18 months of promises?

How can the game be dead when the devs are still working on it, a bit premature your opinion, isn't it?

The sequel is only a expansion for CoD, no working CoD ---> no sequel! Is that so hard to understand?

As the wheel doesn't has to be developed anew, see point two, there will only small fixes and changes be needed in the future, the long developement delays were coming with a complete redevelopement of the engine.

Hard to believe that someone frequenting this forum for so long is still spreading such misconceptions.

Oh shut up

Decided its easier to 'ignore' you than read your fanboy drivel, arn't we allowed an opinion that differs from yours?

Then again, now your ignored I will never know, bet I still sleep well though..

Says it all, Robteks post was very mature and polite.

BTW, the accepting of different opinions, which you are demanding, isn't your strong side, isn't it?

Sorry, a just had to get that out.

After the first two parches every graphics engine update involve removing and dumbing down features. I wouldn't call that improvement, specially since i kept loosing performance from beta to beta.

[RickRuski]

Can't complain about my frame rates, only the lack of smoothness (micro stutters) that I would like to see addressed. Guess those that want everything in cockpit controlable will always find something that they want fixed and some that play mainly online seem to be having some problems. My game play is only off line so I can't comment about online play. Just hope that the team get things sorted quickly to restore confidence back into the community, the longer it takes the further the downhill slide in confidence is for us.

Guys this argument about dumbing down is getting old and has been explained several times.

The core graphics engine was completely rewritten for the last beta patch which took several months of work.

This necessitated removing some of the add-on effects temporarily until the core was running as fast and smoothly as possible and to allow them to more easily identify core bugs.

The missing effects were never intentionally removed permanently, although as happens with development, some of them may not work to the satisfaction of the devs for quite some time.

So you may not see them all again soon, but rest assured the bulk of them will find their way back into the game when the core graphics engine has been refined. (which is very close)

And in closing.... if you guys cant discuss with some civility, then some of you will be getting infractions and the thread will be locked.

LAST WARNING!

Newsflash! Removing trees and clouds and other features/textures is not a "redevelopement of the engine". It's just a band-aid fix for a blown off limb.
