RE: Planetary Rendering: Outerra and more

<r>I love reading threads like this. And really, all devs out there, including ourselves, who are working towards our own idea of the ultimate Space Sim do feel your pain, literally and figuratively, every day. We do sweat blood trying to get to the Nirvana you're all craving. And it's for selfish ...

RE: X3 Terran Conflict for Mac

<t>Interesting. It's was definitely only 5 or 10 download attempts when I got it.Good to see they have acknowledged the problem, and come up with an "accommodation", if not a direct fix. I never heard back from them about their investigations.As for playing it. Haven't had much time with our own ...

RE: X vs X2 vs X3:R/TC - What was the best X game?

<t>X2 for sure, especially because of the manual docking option, and the fact that you could enter stations and even automatic docking didn't "snap on" to the dock like in X3 and Terran Threat.. And even despite the awful bugs which crashed it every 5 minutes on OS X. :)Dogfighting was bad, but the ...

RE: X3 Terran Conflict for Mac

<t>I have been in touch with the company and they did reset my download attempts.What I did then was pull it across the "backbone" to my own server.. To do that we had to install GNOME and FireFox on our server, and then use that as a remote computer.. But it did (eventually) let me pull the 7GB ...

RE: X3 Terran Conflict for Mac

<t>Ugh. This is very frustrating.Absolutely avoid Deliver2Mac like the plague.They give you 11 download attempts, and with good reason. Their server throttles the download connection to you after about 10 - 15 minutes and then will drop the connection at some random interval later..We have now used ...

So far I've used 4 out of 11 "download tickets" and each time the download has dropped out at about 300MB into a 6.5GB download! At the same time I ...

RE: Dust 514 is Coming

This game scares the bejesus out of me..It's something we've ultimately wanted to do ourselves, and is part of our long-term plan. Very long-term it has to be said.But also once it's out I wonder if any of us here will get any coding done! That's the real scary part! ;)

It's a fantastic movie. One of the few that lived up to the hype for me this year.I will definitely be adding it to my BluRay collection, and actually want to see it again this week if I have time.. :)
