(Quote) This is what I am curious about. Will NS2 see backwards updates from the dev of Spark 2.0`?
I can only hope so! Would love to see my favorite multiplayer game become prettier and run better over time!

in 10 billion years, Alien races will find b265, it will run as well as the engine test. Why? ENTROPY. -
Ever since the engine test. But my real interest started around the time the infestation video launched. I was playing NS1 and I asked a server mod what he thought NS2 was gonna be.
He did not say anything, so I said it would probably be… -

One thing I would suggest early on would be NOT to rely on FXAA as an AA solution. What it does to art and texture quality is quite sad.

It is the game from Faultline. Not sure if it is spark though according to what I have read on their website!

ananchronistic cosmetics really do not work in NS2 and would look horrible. I am all for more things like "shadow" models and marine armors. I love the way they look.
Specifically, I want to see the LMG mod implemented dammit! :P -

I still would not mind seeing those lights. Look hella-cool. -
Woh, looks so awesome!

(Quote) I think we can assume (but why must we assume? can't we just be told?) that this, whatever it is, is going to be released post-PAX. I think UWE went full out assault wiht all hands on deck to get SN ready for public showing, NS2's update …

I am not sure what controlls the size of victory eggs. Or even in game eggs. Onos egg in game is normal sized...
Some victory eggs are huge though!" -

I will run a test too. Btw Cr4zy, what did you use to test and benchmark? I would like to useyour method and style for consistency.

If you have an SLI set up I do not recommend these drivers for NS2. The Shadow Rendering Fix is not included in these drivers (but rather will be in the udpate after this one).
Or at least, I imagine it will be in the driver post this mo… -
So is another day going by without knowing what is going on at all?
I was just in a server where the rookies were ridiculously confused why the we had to wait 20 minutes for no reason on mineshaft on a non-admined server. If cooler heads… -
(Quote) Cryengine was still limited to about 3-4 dynamic lights per scene (the engine was forward rendered). Unlike the 100s which spark uses. But yes, Cryengine was ahead of its time by about 5 years
-
A big reason why the devs decided to make their own engine, i at least assume, is due to the lack of dynamic lighting in other engines around the foetel stages of NS2 development. Pretty much no commercially available engine at the time of NS2s dev…

Let me reiterate, just for the sake of it. Why are we not hearing of what the next build does/contains/does not contain through official channels?
Is it for fear of overcommitment that we hear nothing about the future? Or is it surprise?… -
(Quote) Modern shaders really do not work that way... everything should look the same and be IHV agnostic. Especially considering how proficient the devs are...

Verify the game cache and check for missing files. When NS2 has trouble opening it usually chalked up to missing files.
Right click the game, local data, check game files for errors (something like that in English I thi… -

Twitch shooter actually used to mean Quake and UT. But ever since COD came along the term was appropriated for the "twitch" style nature of those games (aka, walk around map, do nothing, twitch by bringing up your sights to shoot a… -

I played Kodiak for the first time the other day and loved it. Just thought I would let you know. Very pretty and definitely unique looking map.

So, what is going on with this update?
What I am currently expecting:
Shadow fade and Onos skins for purchase
Game Balance update. Alien buffsssssss
That is about it. -

I can only hope the razor program is not lying to me and is working. Any way to test DPI independently?
