Vapourware Scam Citizen - Only people with too much money can become StarCitizens! WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?

[Myobi]

Yeah, but that doesn't happen just with Twitch. Chris Robberts bragged about having peaks of 130,000 players happening several times during the year... those happen when content updates hit.

Meanwhile Terraria has peaks of 50k-100k on a monthly basis, while games like Counter Strike go for 1,000,000.
Hell, again, cyberpunk with the edgerunners update last month had a peak of 130,000 players... and it's a 2 year old single player game.

Just in Steam alone ^

The more content updates you put out, the more peaks you'll get, and the higher the average player rate will be...

Chris Roberts just likes to crow about how much Star Citizen is obliterating other new hotnesses in the ether space and ADL likes to pick up on that for masturbatory purposes. For instance:

As reported by VGC, the Steam Charts data for the Square Enix published title shows that one May 4 at midnight Babylon’s Fall had just one concurrent player, meaning at that time only one person was playing the game on PC.

...

The data also highlights that the title had an average of 62 players in the last 30 days, and a peak player count of 1,166 in March, the month the game launched.

Star Citizen's clearly kicking ass. Hasn't even entered beta yet and it's already beating a game that released, flopped hard, and is announced to be closed down within a year of launch.

Are those drones or what's up with the flight model?

Not a fan of drifting?

yeah, does look odd ...

Looks like a clone of all the other balding bearded glasses people. Surely they could replace him without anyone noticing.

benefit of having powerful thrusters all over ship. At low speed ships in atmo behave more like drones while at high speed like planes.

The new generation of hardware is so powerful that it brute forces through Star Citizen's current bottlenecks. 4K/90 in landing zones.

Wow 90 FPS in 4k in landing zones in a 10 year old game? AMAZING!

It's worse than that. Watch when the guy actually makes it to the hangar. 50fps. Then when he actually takes off? It dips into the 30s.

SC is doing both pre-production and full production at the sametime

This project never cease to impress.

How can you expect that they would produce the production without also producing the prior to production products simultaneously as the production and the prior production products are interdependent with the ongoing processes of Star Citizenry? These are alpha producers beyond your ken.

Summary of latest Inside Star Citizen.

1st part - some specs on underground facilities designs. Around 100 types of rooms with around 100 different overlays/"skins" on them as base. They are at full production at the moment. No ETA.

2nd part. Gen12 renderer. They are basically done and they want to release it with 3.18. In current DX11 pipeline render thread usually is so long that cpu waits for it to finish and game is CPU limited this way. They ported some of it already which is why SC started to run in cities more than 40-50fps but it still uses DX11 as base which means no full performance gains. He have shown that after finished upgrade it is render thread that waits for CPU. Around 50-100% improvement depending on scene. Once they release it to public then they will work on optimizations and new technology, DLSS, raytracting etc. They want for render thread to be first split up later on into more granual tasks and later on completely gone as work will be fully on GPU without CPU meddling.

Pretty sure you can't. The Render API will always has to be called from the CPU first, you can't call the API from the GPU. I think you've misunderstood what they meant by removing the render thread entirely. They're trying to make it so that they no longer have to sync the main thread to the renderer thread. But anyway nice profiler CIG lol. Whats concerning is that they've had to resort to this because the engine they're using was so behind the times, they really messed up picking cry engine.
Anyway this feature is a requirement for DX12 and Vulkan so I mean congrats I guess they finally modernized cry engine's renderer, they're now only a few months behind Unreal engine in that department.

"They are basically done" reminds me of S42 that's just needed a little bit more polish years ago.

I think i heard of them talking about removing completely render thread multiple times. Only main thread will be left but in much more lean and n scaling form. IDK why they say that to me it is also logical that render thread must exist. Either way CIG took most of core Crytek engine development crew when Crytek was falling down years ago. Pretty sure they are at the top of their game in engine development.

"They are basically done" reminds me of S42 that's just needed a little bit more polish years ago.

He did say in video that 3.18 is target not 100% promise. Either way along last 2 years they were delivering parts of new renderer in DX11 and it was main reason why SC started to run acceptable in mid/high end rigs. Just 3-4 years ago you could have best GPU and CPU ever and regardless if you would have 2060 or 2080 you would have same FPS in something like Lorville hitting barely 30fps as game was incredibly CPU bound.

Now if you have enough money to buy 4090 you can play it at 100FPS average in heavy scenes. They probably will add DLSS/FSR next year as well.

Ok the way I can explain it to you is that the render thread isn't so much removed as it is replaced into a bunch of commands that the API can run, these are executed on the main thread. Thus its giving you the benefit of a single-threaded renderer but with the performance benefits of a multi-threaded one, as I understand though it's limited to Directx12 and Vulkan because of its hardware-specific requirements to pull off. I wouldn't necessarily say their engine development is on point though, just better than Unity and CryTek's lol. Its not as good as Epic but that's not necessarily a bad thing. At least someone knows what they're doing I don't know about their art guys as evidenced by the poor frame rates, like yeah they can make good looking stuff but is it optimized? clearly not.

Considering all the cash his pocketing, it's about time the man pays himself for some firearms training, because he has been missing all his "targets" since the fucking start.
