Not sure if we also get HW config but for sure we get all the fps data and video settings. So please do, thank you

Also, good news! The Dacia Sand... Err sorry
Stefano found out the spikes problem and I can assure you it wasn't easy. 2 days of testing hitting the head on the wall.

Great news about solving the spike problem!

Strangely I've gone from around 60fps with 096 to 80-90 fps with 098 using the same video setting. Nvidia GT545

Luke Russell · Mar 4, 2013

I got a good boost to my FPS.

They found the spikes problem.
Fixing it might require some more heads banging on walls

Which will hurt even more after they have had all the beers in the "Beers for Kunos" thread.

If this is not a hint of a new license which I hope it isn't, then we clearly have a Top Gear fan here. Now stop watching Top Gear and go back to work

. Just kidding!
When do you guys sleep? I see you guys answering questions and working even on the weekends and sometimes also at nights.

The life of an indie dev... in our offices we have a telling now...
for whatever comes in mind the answer is "after AC publication."
i.e. "I'm thirsty..." - "After AC publication"

You forgot to answer the first part of his post, on the license

But you did not ask him anything on the license

Well, I hope you guys don't die with thirst!

In that case let me know, and I'll come there to be your "cameriere"

Alexandre Guzu · Mar 5, 2013

So if I understood correctly, you'll release AC ... after AC's release ?

Nico Van Elk · Mar 5, 2013

Ah, "After AC release" is a kind of "Soon".
Fair enough answer

At least you can each buy a lamborghini Veneno "after AC publication" ( with any luck ! ) though you will have to ask them to make a couple more so whole dev team can have one.
