Announcements - Further 0.11.4 Improvements - Forum

I saw "fixed a problem that has been in the game since the start of Beta" and got really excited, then I read that it was an improvement to shadows. -sigh- Last edited by Nycro on Aug 14, 2013, 1:33:51 PM	Posted by Nycro on Aug 14, 2013, 1:31:34 PM Quote this Post
Well I was planning on delving back in for some grinding but I think I will wait for this patch to hit first.

Aux has been first poster almost every announcement! Lol I love this new patch, it's going to be one of the most exciting ones yet! Lower load times will be great, maybe people who don't use Ramdisk will get improvements that they need! <3 GGG Youtube @guitarguy234 Twitter @guitarguy234 twitch.tv/awsomesawcee My band: http://www.slackjawbluesband.com	Posted by Awsomesawce on Aug 14, 2013, 2:40:55 PM Quote this Post

Not sure how these changes would help ( probably the people with low-end machines ) However, no amount of expensive computer hardware thrown at this game solves the crappy desync problem. Any news on fixing the COMMUNICATION ENGINE to something actually usable? It needs to be rewritten from scratch. Right now it SUCKS, and with every update it appears to be worst. Only thing good that was recently introduced is the health bars on mobs, as it's a way I can detect now that I'm actually hitting air ( the bar doesn't drop = I'm desynced ). Still sux. </rant> I see that you don't even have any characters ranked on a ladder... so are you soloing in low level zones? I can get 60+ @ 1440p and max settings in that case too. Go do a map in a 6 person party with a few moderately heavy spell effects.

20%? And it could go even higher? YES please! This patch is going to be amazing if is cuts down on the loading time and crashes significantly!	Posted by Vegnarus on Aug 14, 2013, 3:33:39 PM Quote this Post
