I am just wondering how long it is going to take this evening to run an all DS/ MM CAD SF. Summoned demons fighting a big summoned demon...

naw I still can't get in Played around on test for a while though; I know this sounds crappy of me but I really don't notice a difference in graphics except that now a lot more things are a lot darker (I've already had to turn up brightness just to see in this game) besides the shiny water, but apparently my Comp notices because I lost at least 10 fps when I switch to ultra mode.

well not everyones comp can handle ultra mode

i ran the settings using the default slider 1 tick above the minimum and the game still looked amazing and i didnt notice any loss in framerate

Ouch my pride.

I regularly trilog in max detail with little to no fps drop... you know it might have been just the instability of test when I was on. I WAS crashing every few minutes for a while there.

I can dial things up a bit, but not too far. I should try to turn off ultra mode to see what my fps was before (never really bothered with it, as it's been quite smooth for a long time). I got mine to about 30 fps by adjusting things about, but that still felt a bit choppy from time to time in Faultline.

Water looked great there, and the shadows I saw in the Wentworth's before that were great... the skylight cast very realistic shadows on the floor and really added something. So I'll have to find a balancing point for performance but leaving some of the bells and whistles going. Though the change isn't too dramatic... nothing else looked all that different texture-wise, etc.

I started up the new missions heroside, and it was quite fun. You actually have text bubbles from a contact radioing you inside of a mission, and some dialogue choices (just two, but it does feel more varied than yes and no, at least, and adds to the fun).

I'll have to get a handle on the new auction window. I was quite used to the old one, so I'll probably like the new one once I get used to it.

Only at 50% patched. WTF.

Didn't you pre-download? I don't think my computer had to download much once it started up... just had to install everything, which shouldn't take too long.

Hope you didn't have to wait too much, Viv.

Oh, thanks! I forgot I had changed it since I haven't changed my sig yet.

everything is so pretty! And I picked out a new tail for Mann Eater. She is so happy with it that she decided to go out and get another level. But missed Masque's ITF as we were on a timed mission that we completed just as I saw "ITF full, thanks".

They cleared the Wentworth history last night so I was so full of anxiety, since I rarely play red side these days, that I have full inventory but didn't want to sell anything.

And has anyone else notice how small the Enhancement Level numbers are when you go to place new enhancements? And I was looking through a 23" monitor too.

This only apparently happens on wide screen monitors. I put my game onto my regular 20" and opened it up and everything was the same, put it back into the 22" wide and they got tiny again. It's not just the numbers, either, the enhancements get smaller too (looks like you can slot up to 7 per power).

Nope. Least not in my case.

I know. I was looking forward to the next level up to test that out.

Castle actually had to clarify that there are no current plans to add enhancements to powers because of people overspeculating. Too funny.

Castle also psuedo-denied the Electrical Control set shortly before it was announced... we're on to his game!
