Title: Beta testing.
Post by: hitech on October 17, 2003, 04:32:02 PM

The last few days we have been working on core issues. Primarly optimization.

We use pyro's computer as a test rig.

CPU .9 Gig
VIDEO GF2 mx 400 32meg.

1. FPS.

Pyro's has changed from 17 to 41 .

2. Load times.

Changed from 30 down to  7 secs.

Fixed the black text problem.

Added a gama slider in the video setup.

We hope to have another version ready for testing monday.


Thank to all for the beta test reports.

Dang HT, can't you guys get Pyro a better machine?

Title: Beta testing.
Post by: Halo on October 17, 2003, 07:41:06 PM

Thanks for the status report, and thanks for doing an open beta.  Not many businesses dare to let customers in on the development phase.  

Surely a new coat of arms must be in the works for Aces High squadrons -- who will be the first official Clueless Dolts?

What should we start looking for in the new update? Same as before or do you want the "AoD" to test new things?

"AoD"= Army of Dolts.

Hey mensa, do you understand what sarcasm is?  If that is too tough, what about irony or even plain old humor?  In your rush to show how smart you are, you proved the exact opposite.

vorticon, nice job to the nth degree!

I suspect we will never get a "secnod" beta

But i am prepared to have you waiting until eternity for it.

And if i was HT posting all these :mad: :mad: :mad:   would just get my back up and make you wait longer.
