still no vulkan…
Didn’t they promise SLI support? rip my second gtx 980 that will never be utilized
“Added Sky/Window props”
can someone demonstrate this in a video?
I find the lack of vulkan, disturbing.
And the continued crashing that EVERYONE seems to be reporting…
Hasn’t crashed a single time here…
I can crash even before the game loads all the way to playing for 2-3 hours with not so much as a hiccup. Makes no sense to me…..
Logic and stability fixes are much needed so that’s good news. But we were promised something even more important and it’s missing from this list!
REMOVAL OF TWO WEAPON LIMIT IN SNAPMAP
This is the biggest item on the list so I don’t believe they forgot to mention it… Who the hell wants to play Doom with a two weapon limit? Who? Literally no Doom fan wants this, and they think their problem is some sorting algorithm for popular maps! 😀 The problem isn’t how you sort the maps, the problem is that they all suck because you are forcing the two weapon limit. Noone wants to play them because they all suck, that’s the simple truth. I have two maps ready to publish, one multiplayer, one singleplayer. I choose not to because they are Halo-lite garbage. Having to drop a weapon to pick up whatever weapon you find third just feels wrong, SP or MP. It’s WRONG.
Also no Vulkan AYYYY LMAO.
“the game already runs smooth enough even on mediocre pc’s”
No, it doesn’t on AMD GPUs. People with high end AMD GPUs are playing with shadows on LOW to get playable framerates. We need a fix for that, and Vulkan was promised for “soon after launch”. Launch was over a month ago. That is not soon, not when we’re talking about something that is necessary to get the game playable.
Total War: Warhammer still hasn’t got it’s DX12 patch either and it runs worse on AMD GPUs in DX11 mode than NVIDIA GPUs and this is a AMD logo title.
No SLI or crash fixes, brilliant! 😐
So we can play it with classic 1993 weapons soon, cool!
Vulkan were are you???!!!
