HitchHikingFlatlander Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Sorry, there are no updates at this time. We hope to have some updates in May. I think we should sticky that comment given the amount of people that are going to keep asking!:pilotfly: http://dcs-mercenaries.com/ USA Squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentLaw Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Absolutely. I bet even if they had an update in April, people would still demand their May update. Of course, this would be easy to fix with a screenshot of a generic bush in the desert, so I don't imagine it will be too much of a problem.

Of course, this would be easy to fix with a screenshot of a generic bush in the desert, so I don't imagine it will be too much of a problem. Of course we could, since many of us paid for Nevada back in Oct, 2010. :music_whistling: And, no, a screenshot of a bush wouldn't be enough. A screenshot with a bush and a shadow and perhaps a cloud or two would be though. :lol: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Christmas Cheer - A Landing Practice Mission : Beta Paint Schemes : HOTAS Keyboard Map : Bingo Fuel - A DCS A-10C Movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrumTx Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Wonder if the extra $20 we paid as original beta testers back in Oct 2010 is still in the bank gaining interest ? So much was mentioned back then, I won't say promised because that may annoy some people Remember the 346 Fire Fighters, Medics & Police who died on 9-11.......

AFAIK no Caucasus won't be adapted as they'd have to go from scratch again so not much point. Always remember.

ralfidude Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 How will it impact the sim? Well you know how you need a 4.0GHz processor to play this game above 35FPS average as it is right now? Well by the nevada update, you will need a 6Ghz processor for the same results. :) 1 [sIGPIC]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b66/ralfidude/redofullalmost_zpsa942f3fe.gif[/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipdigital Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 also, will the caucasus map be adapted to the new edge engine? They have stated in the past that the Caucasus map will not be updated.

EtherealN Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 obviously. dx11 is compatible with any previous dx version. otherwise how will modern cards play dx9 games? Through using Dx9 runtimes. ;) You don't actually run the Dx9 code in Dx11. The backwards compatibility happens at the card - in that it is able to accept the results of the Dx9 codepath. (This is why some users who have Dx11 find that they have to install Dx9 redist manually to get appropriate libraries.) There are also some games that use Dx10 or 11 not to use any new features, but only to use the new codepath to get the same stuff done in a more hardware-efficient way. (Dx10 and 11 does some things more efficiently than Dx9 - an example of a game that does this is Bad Company 2 - it can use either runtime, but when when using something newer than Dx9 it will render exactly the same graphics but at a higher speed.) But the important thing is that it's the cards (and their drivers etcetera) that are backwards compatible, not DX itself. (All AFAIK, I don't code for DX myself so I may have misunderstood.)

Well by the nevada update, you will need a 6Ghz processor for the same results. :) I'd say this is most likely incorrect. Different things have different demands hardware-wise, and do stuff in different ways. Wait until it's closer to being finished before speculating on it's hardware requirement impact. ;) Most specifically, remember that Dx11 is more efficient than Dx9, so you can do the same (or better) stuff that you do in Dx9, but requirements will drop - not increase. We'll see when Nevada etcetera is closer to being finished how this all pans out. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralfidude Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I was only teasing. I do hope the strain it carries over certain areas you look at will be reduced. 40-50 FPS looking west, to south, to east, but 17 looking north is an example ahhaha. Cant wait on nevada though!
