  3. Development versions (2.11)

    DAMN, *REALLY* nice boost on Radeon GPUs with the lastest drivers with OpenGL 20 years long awaited improvements! (they've totally rewritten the driver, I got freaking improvements in old OGL 2.1 era games too)

    +50% with the same settings on an old RX 570! (55 FPS -> 80 FPS)

    But maybe there's something wrong (?) with the brightness, now with gamma @1.2 the scene is really dark (you can see the PITCH BLACK in the screenshot before 😐 )

    It's not Mirror's Edge though, you can't climb on anything, you can jump or crouch when you want, only in scripted sequences.

    Well, it's the same in Catalyst (not scripted but locked).

    And the vibe is really the same 😛 Just like more cartonish and cute

    The problem of this "Cat World Mirror's Edge" as any other parkour game.....is that the world is amazing but amazingly empty too.


    Still, perfect UE4 crafting.

    but the vast majority of them are currently lame attempts at cat jokes rather than anything of value.

    Just let me try! Classic cyberpunk atmosfere is PURfect :D

    Well, that rules out sudden throat cancer as a possible cause for why SS3 got sold.

    "Added r_fboScaling cvar which allows to change Render scale filtering to nearest."

    It works really well, performance on par with setting the equivalent resolution in the same scene (1280x120 vs 2560x1440 with 0.5 scaling and nearest filtering) without needing to force the integer upscaling in the drivers (sharper image than bilinear/bicubic for who prefers the blocky look)

    Tru dat!

    My first ever Thief experience was in 5th grade, when my older brother brought home a PC game magazine that had an Eidos demo disc with it. Included were demos for Tomb Raider 1 & 2, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, Omicron: The Nomad Soul (wasn't effin' David Bowie in that game?!), Revenant, Commandos, and lastsly TDP. Some were just cutscenes, some were playable demos of the first level, so obviously I must have played Bafford's Manor about 200 times.

    It's simply incredible how the story it's pretty the same worldwide :D

    I wondered if Intel got their shit together with that new chip. Apparently not (as expected).

    Their "market targeting" is utter nonsense. They put 96EU into 25W or even 15W chips and the 125+W chips only include 32/24/16 EUs.

    That's my same&main concern.

    IHMO it's an issue of the OpenGL driver with the desktop compositing (in some GPU-bound scenarios).
