Good news on twitter. I'm really happy to read such a think.

@davebe44 @Juha_Mikkola also now graphics and physics are totally detached, so driving feel is the same regardless of fps.

i also read that, but don't really know what this means. how are graphics/fps connected to physics?? can somebody explain this to me?

 

[Radek Zukowski]

In AC TP graphics and physics processing are run in one thread. Which means that if graphics is processed slowly (low FPS) then also physics are processed slowly (because it waits for graphics) and you can feel that in high input lag.
Now there will be two threads independent of each other, so if you have low FPS then physics is unaffected, and input lag remains low.

This is very good news.

 

[CKraegel]

thanks radek sounds great!

Stefano also only said they "might" not get the pre-order ready in september... but hey where is the drama in that

just as I thought!

great news about the Physics & Graphics now seperate as well, that's a major step in my book.

 

[Stelios]

The fact that the physics were connected to the FPS was my biggest concern really!

Glad they fixed it.

Are you serious?

He is a Muscle Car whore, so virtually no cars currently confirmed interests him

Stuff like this is always good:

Though the tires are a little too low profile for my taste.

BRB, there is a Mustang vs Falcon race in GTL today I should be making sure I am ready for.
And that Pontiac Firebird race on Sunday!
BTW, that 68 Road Runner above would be great in the 0-400 racing pictures thread.

The game was supposed to be out almost a year ago, and they were really pushing to make it happen. Then what, a little something something, and still no clue about the actual release date? I don´t think it´s going to be released this year.

More waiting will come to those who wait, or whatever.

It does happen though. We are all optimists in the end of the day and it's nice to think in your head project X will take X time, but it's quite common to find it taking many times longer.

I guess for a team like Polyphony who have made many versions of huge games and have huge teams who can do the leg work on projections etc, then they can do a very good job but even THEY get it really wrong sometimes!

So for a small enthusiastic team who are being optimists it's no doubt they imagined the game would be done in a small space of time.

I'm disappointed it's not out. I'm also disappointed that they can't just tell us why on a rolling basis so we can get involved in understanding and banter about it... but I'm not too concerned that I have to wait.

That's just the Hofstadter's Law: Any computing project will take twice as long as you think it will even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.

Stefano is already out of Italy. Is rumored to be with Scawen

Little joke. We'll have to wait, no decent alternative simulation. Keep my wheel until 2015.

This delaying thing is really getting annoying, i don't care what anyone else thinks. It also give me little hope about how much are they going to take to release patches with new but crucial features after release.

Still waiting and still going to pre-order but its disappointing that they cant keep their word.

Really? Wasn't you the guy raging about steam so much? :O

 

[LaFail]

No. Jorge Alves is the name you're looking for if the memory serves me right.

 

[Simon Kaminski]

Oh okay then sorry.

 

[Jorge Alves]

No. Jorge Alves is the name you're looking for if the memory serves me right.

No ... it wasnt me ... i did never "raging" about steam or anything else ... be carefull when you mention others name please

 

[LaFail]

Short memory, eh ?

I would also prefer to give all my money to kunos ... and everyone here that reallly seems so willing to support them finantialy could do it better this way instead of paying a % to Steam (i have no idea how much that is)

People who dont like Steam are usually adult persons like me that know how to behave in forums so dont expect much flame from us

this is true ... i can see some people installing skidrow crack when its released ... just to avoid steam

Are you saying just because i dont like steam i should not buy and play AC? A product i dont support? ... the product i want to buy is AC not steam ... i support AC since day one and now you are telling i dont support AC just because i dont like steam?

You were raging because you didnt like Steam, and they just HAD to make a nonsteam version for you. Discussion closed. Personal attacks?... you're hilarious.
