Does EVGA have exclusive to new PhysX patch?

[knacki99]

Be it Kings Bounty The Legend, Men of War or Cryostasis: 1C support is slow, unresponsive, not listening to user reports and requests and actual bug reports are discarded as minor issues of a select few.

Kings Bounty Legend suffers from repeated crash issues related to Vista DEP and DirectX. This has not been fixed although it is a known issue and a real stopper since almost half a year.

Men of War Patch 1.11.3 has been delayed like nearly 2 months again and again although it was ready because internal communication and developer relation management obviously are not managed as well as they could be. Players needs and wishes played no role.

and now Cryostasis - while sure a good game this whole tech demo discussion is a bit strange. Why a tech demo if the game does not have the same effects? Probably on Nvidia's request though. The exclusive deal with EVGA however is outrageous as it discriminates proper retail customers over EVGA customers.

This is a punch in the face. I for one will certainly think twice before I buy another 1C product again!

maybe we should all just pirod 1C games until they learn to acturally start caring about the users. Once they dont make anymore sales they will do something about it. If not then they deserve to go bust

Or it may just be possible that they're a small publisher working with small development houses, and that the scale of operations means that complex projects like patches simply take longer - QA in particular. EVGA probably paid some money to get an exclusive patch out the door; money from that could very easily go toward funding work on a patch that incorporates better performance and bug fixes in addition to the added physics effects.

The allure of 4chan RAEG is strong, but remaining levelheaded is definitely the way to go.
