Where did I say I was sick of something? I said I was fed up, not sick.
Same difference, the principle of what I said doesn't change because it's a slightly different word.
Most companies I've seen have worked as fast as possible to deal with bugs. But again, this is personnal epxerience.
Well then you haven't seen a broad enough spectrum yet I reckon.
Of course Vstep does what they can.. it's their product, it's not a sideshow that they can just sacrifice or something, because nautis is bringing in the big number.. that whole string of thought is just not really relevant, it all costs money to make, it all has to return that money and then make some so they can have dinner at night after they lock up. But wether or not companies can throw ALL their resources at it... well that's not always possible even.. that was what I am saying.. but what CAN be done, is done.
I don't know the inner workings of Vstep, however, this is how they appear tow work from my (the customers) point of view..
Yes I understand, but you present some things as facts, which are simply assumptions which are wrong, is what I'm saying.
The render engine SS uses (questviewer) is pre-made, so that can be considered a SDK, so can physx, which is a premade physics libary developed by Nvida to work alongside there "cuda" and "agiea" physics chipsets. I'm not a businessman, i'm a 16 year old collage student whos autistic. I don't desire to be a businessman. I DO have bills to pay, after all, using commercial products requires you to part with cash..
Well it's a bit different from getting, say, unity and messing about a bit with that, trying stuff out, etc.. compared to what Vstep does. But what I am saying is.. there's much more to it than that.
Is moving along as could be expected.
That's good to know.
I don't know ilan, nor do I inted to. I've heard mixed things about him and his responses to questions, I was mearly using a peice of his software, not the man himself as a comparision. Members of this forum also had to "beg" to get swenson to post indev pics of various DLC's on the forum, insted of just facebook.
I'm not responsible for creating this mess. Vstep, who develop SSE are. THEY released a game that was, atleast for the first few months, unfit for purpose (in my eyes). THEY are the ones that say "X product will be released on Y date", then don't release it for another 2 weeks! (or more).
This is just my personal opinion, but it does sound like your trying to disprove everything I've said, or simply talk down to me. I'm sorry if you don't mean it that way, but thats how it sounds when I read it
Oh I know what you are saying, but you picked them as an example of prompt reaction to the community and decent updates and fixes, and that's not how that game has been, at first it was a very buggy beta too, well their new product pretty much still is, that nonetheless, is sold to people. So in all fairness, they/he didn't get it right all the time either and right away, and the software still is below par to what I would want it to be, honestly. In that sense, the comparison is not really the best one you can make.
And, it's not always as easy as you might think with release dates and such, there's more than just a dev and a game, there's a publisher, distribution, everything else that comes into play, plans made, services arranged, money spent..., is left out of your view there, so you dont have 'the bigger picture', so to speak, from your angle.
And no worries, I wasn't trying to 'disprove' what you said. I am only saying, that most of what your wrote, was just not what is actually going on. And well if you lash out and make claims about vstep letting their customers 'rot', well that is more rude than me telling you that you have made a mistake and are drawing the wrong conclusion, is it not?
Sorry if this post sounds like I'm attacking you, i'm not, and I would never do that. If anything I admire you for the work you've put in to the forum, especially consdiring you don't get paid for anything you do here.
I know mate, nor I you, but you're getting a little heated and are throwing some ideas around that are not spot on, so I am only trying to interject a little reality.
You are correct in assuming that i'm annoyed with SSE, My AI laggs the game to the point where I get 5fps if i'm lucky, and even using a machine like mine I'd expect to get more than that, wouldn't you?
Well yes, but I get decent performance myself with a decent machine too.. so, it's not a structural problem for everyone, or I would have the same problems that you have and we would have even more unsolvable problems with some members. But the fact of the matter is that most tech support issues are solved, and in a majority of cases, it's down to the user needing to be a little more careful with this game than other games, or downright user error. You just don't see all the players that - despite obvious bugs - play this game happily and nearly, if not totally, worry-free. This game requires a little more TLC and tweaking to get that running like it should, somtimes.. and yes, that's not ideal and I agree with that side of your argument.. cause not everyone is a tweaker or feels like trying out a dozen different things to make it work.
But still, all in all, apart from the obvious bugs, my game just runs good, I can play all the missions just fine, it's just okay in the way that I play it. (not a great mp fan, that side, I can't comment on too much..) so, for me, it's not as bad as some games I have bought that are far worse for bugs and have far less developer attention and fixes. It's not a 'mess' to me. Why it is for you, I don't know.
