new update this morning

I do believe darkorbit team got it right with newest update. game is smooth man ncie!!! lag dissapeared for now

 

well there may not be lag per say, but i feel like i am moving in super slow motion, the cargo boxes are taking an extra 2 secs to pick up and the settings for the mini- map background is NOT working, the boxes look like the drop when you get near them. will see how the day goes...

 

yeah im sure there is some give and take but i can trade that for a smoother game

 

I don't ever suffer from (Latency), the only thing I don't like is not being in control of the (Mini Map) ON/OFF function, one minute it's ON next it's OFF, apart from the (Mini Map) everything is smooth as per usual, just wish they would now do something about the "Speed & Auto-lock cheating players"!

 

will put minimap back to norm

 

The slow motion feeling comes from the ambient stars in the background, they are more spaced out and moving slower now so it feels like the ships are moving slower in relation to the background. Hopefully the minimap can be sorted out soon.

We did a test where around 15 of us all dropped a smartbomb at once in a stack and my fps went from 60 to 55 then back up to 60 again, normally that would make me drop to somewhere around 10 fps for around 5 or 6 seconds so I'm liking this a lot ^^.

 

much faster/smother the real test comes tomozz on Crazy cubes

 

so now its harder to catch bots and the ohter cheat programs being used work much faster, hmmmm yes the game is smother but i think some tuneing will be needed. getting better DO

join some servers next please

JACK

 

i dont mind the client update, since they removed the blue circle that showed up on minimap wen clicking to move which made finding cloakers harder, downside is they still havent fixed the bugged shields!

 

So, the mini map has the same look as the main screen and that causes lag...never saw before now. Default implementation - stupid

 

I have just boxed for the second time today and many of the boxes drop down as you approach them. This is actually nauseating and I have a head ache. Those who suffer from epilepsy should be careful, maybe?

 

Don't Like it. Can't get rid of the annoying explosion noises. The moving loot boxes; what brain trust thought that was a good idea. And why do the boxes that come from ships I destroyed have to move. Good for BOTS and PET not good for human eyes.
Not to mention the game keeps timing out while on the back page.
Also, I have the display set to no explosions so why am I now getting explosions.
The Hit points and shields on smaller aliens is obscured by the targeting circle.

Worst update to date.

 

I like the smooth game play now, really. Hands down, no words on that. Good job, DO!
Also, I like the new cargo drop "style", and the hell storm launcher rockets explosions. I haven't boxed today, and I am not sure about what has been written above about the boxes. I guess tomorrow I will give it a try, for now I want to enjoy the cargo drops

Okapi, have I noticed good that the drone formation is now somehow "closer" to the ship, so I have to adjust it to get it to state I like it?

 

Must be playing a different game. My gameplay is worse, jerky, keeps locking up. I normally run at 60 fps now I am at 40.

 

How do you mean worse? With what worse? I don't know, game is really smooth now. Nice background touches with the stars also. Still, it is your opinion and not everyone will like this, for sure

 

Yeah a few bumps here and there in it but they will get worked out, There is a emp problem that has to be fixed asap, were the enemy emps and you cannnot fire on them afterwards at all like never thats not good

 

The bugs never get worked out. It not my opinion that the game keeps logging me out when I go to the back page then locks up when I try to log back in. It is also not my opinion that my fps is lower today then it was three days ago.

What's up with the targeting bulls eye when you target a cloaked ship. What's the point of the cloak?

Really like having to log out of the game every time I jump a gate.

 

game was smooth as ever yesterday. no lag with hitac whatsoever, but TODAY i tried to lag and couldnt.. and when i did everything was frozen. except for chat of course. what happened? i want to know. please and thank you

 

A lot of this is very true. I dislike the moving boxes to an extreme and think that that needs to be fixes ASAP.

And I'm also experiencing an obnoxious bug where when I leave my game page for less than two minutes to change the track that I'm listening to on SoundCloud, it disconnects... Not like it's altering my performance or anything, it's just somewhat tedious.

 

crazy cubes was awesome very little lag at all able to partake now without locking up

Same here with the logout.

Game play is much smoother i love the update but there are the bugs to be worked out all have been mentioned that i know of.

As for cloak lock i like it, what's the difference if my lasers show where the cloaker is or the target marker same difference.

i have a mid end computer had issues with the old client with lag but so far all is great glad to see DO make the game playable for the non gaming computers

All in all thanks DO great job looking forward to when the bugs get worked out
