Spring RTS Engine

Ok, so my question is: would i get a performance boost from going vista ultimate 64 bit with 8 gigs of ram as compared to xp 32 bit with 4 gigs (well i guess it uses only 3.5 gigs)? The question is rather what you use your PC for. If it's just about gaming & whatever everyday-jobs a PC can do t...

Try turning "pixelbuffer objects" and "compress textures" off in the settings just as going back to reflective water quality. If it helps try figuring out what is responsible for the crashes although I guess pixelbuffers are in that case...

My problem is, an e8400 with a gtx+ 9800 would eat a shitload of power, no? That's a widespread myth and wrong. You could run that system with a PSU around 350 watts. Those "You need a 500 watts PSU!" specs you see sometimes just is about preventing people to think that their 300 watts 6 ...

Protip: 2XX GTX is ALOT more silent than the 48XX series. End of discussion. I've had BOTH cards. 2XX is ALOT more fucking silent. Bloody end of it. Both are FINE in spring. It's still a simple no. Reasons: 1.) Reviews (I gave one, don't let me look up more)... 2.) People ragequitting their GTX 280...

Regarding the hedgehogs (tank obstacles): Unfortunately, a feature is either blocking or not, IIRC features can't have yardmaps. Maybe we should make hedgehogs built by the line and have them turn neutral, with gaps large enough for infantry to squeeze through but not vehicles. Not sure if you unde...

Well, rewriting the shader isn't actually all that hard to do, and so much of the game is procedurally generated... You can't just throw a shader at something you have and get a result as shown on that picture. If you want to go from realistic to comic style you pretty much have to redo all the tex...

A comment about the L2 V02 test version: New starting unit set: Just one flak, a heavy machine gunner, some trucks & the usual stuff. It's actually excellent! No more panicing while pushing your flaks forward asap and building a truck with the first engineer - plays way more smooth now without l...

I'm rather speechless this made it through for the investor. I mean saying hey - we're going to change the entire graphics style at such a late point is ... well it's like 50% of your work is garbage now. They must have exceptional skills at convincing the investor...

Now that's what I call an explosion then - did a star destroyer just smash into the ground?...

Those screens clearly prove that the empire runs their walkers with oil. What else should produce all that smoke polluting the air?

Hmm - well imo it's a kinda overdone prediction to say Havoc will wipe out PhysX. As you said with OpenCL both physics engines will run on all hardware in the end. So why should there be no room for two different engines on the market? Also with the UT3 engine featuring PhysX we're gonna see new tit...

Although that's a bit of a misinterpretation. PhysX has nothing to do with OpenCL - it's more of CUDA that'll have to face OpenCL...

The atis have glitches, especially in spring. I have no issues with ATI in Spring anymore - well maybe except for some NVIDIA exclusive LUPS stuff but that's not a problem of ATI in the first place... And the nvidia ones are more silent. That's a plain nope. At least when you're talking about both ...

Something you might want to have a look at for your next release: I'd rethink the movement classes of some mechs. It's kinda lame on a map like Cookedwell when the Zeon & the hero units they get pretty fast can climb ontop of the hills on the mapedges. I didn't try all Federation mechs yet but I...

Why have 8 cores if, when you come to a process that can only use one or two, your little 8 1.6 ghz cores wheeze and die on you compared to a dual 3ghz? Well the 1.6 GHz comparison is a bit unfair as >2 core CPU clocks aren't that much lower than their dual core brethren (they cost a lot more of co...

Well I had thought they should uncloak here but even with the 2nd radar nothing happened...

Oh and something else: Please give the Core T2 K-Bots a little more love - they simply need more / better units. One thing e.g. is a missing AA K-Bot. Then there is the Arm Fido which can own pretty much any Core K-Bot in combat. It even outranges the Sumo and is very fast and agile. While its damag...

Was it intentional that snipers don't get uncloaked by radars? I found myself rather helpless as Core K-Bot Player vs Arm K-Bots when having grabbed ground first and fortifying my frontline with a radar and two turrets so I hold more ressources than my enemy. Snipers beated the shit out of me and I ...

In the end it's up to you what you choose - just only take what you need... Currently a Dual Core CPU is sufficent so if it's just about gaming I'd stay with two cores. In that case I'd have a look at Intel's E-Series (7000 or 8000 series depending on your budget). For a Quad Core I'd have a look at...

Well trees currently really are annoying in Gundam...
