HiTech, if I may ask, given that there seems to be astronomical improvements to the environment, lighting, and textures...

Is there any chance we'll get clouds moving with the wind that cast shadows on the ground? And if so, can we pretty pretty please with a bottle of scotch on top have that as our next preview :pray?

Yes on the clouds and shadows, no on the next preview, I have done some work on the clouds, but have not released them in the alpha because I am not pleased with the results yet.

Do you have an idea of when you are going to switch? I need to budget for a new computer. It looks awesome but also means that my OLD computer is not going to handle that very well.....  :salute

dont be so sure


they are moving up to a better shader system.

of course that does depend on your system...

I am using an old 4830 and have no doubt that I will be able to play with out an upgrade....I may not be able to run it at max...but I am sure I wont need to upgrade.

IIRC they said that they are upping to 512 instead of 256...and the cards will need to support the 3.0 shader...which my very old card can.
