Performance on Network
Putting all other conversations aside since the last patch the performance playing network games has slowed down dramatically.
I have been connecting to a network game a friend is hosting where previous the performance was outstanding and hands down the best online FM...
it was released because they could release it surely.
just go back to the Old Champ Manager days - there was no way of releasing patches so the game had to be tested to death, where as now its easier to release the game and continue to develop it with use of the steam updates.
of course it does. When we had 3 scheduled patches the game HAD to be released in a particular state because there wasnt the option to release as many updates as required.
i'm aware of what is clear on the forums.
My point is general and am 100% sure it is of use but ill say it again for extra clarity.
With the use of Steam it gives the impression that SI are happy move into an Agile development so they can release the game on schedule to allow for the number...
If you're happy to accept that then thats up to you.
I dont care if there are 1 or 100 different companies doing it. I work with a lazy, work shy cretin who is awful at his job - am i going to do the same because he gets away with it.
However people construct their posts, SI require this...
again i guess it goes down to how much pride you put into your work. personally i wouldnt have signed off on a piece of work until i was happy and not have the attitude of "ahh dont worry we can fix that later, just get it out otherwise we wont sell as many"
So by your analysis SI have a much lower opinion of what a quality deliverable is. If i was working on this version i would be utterly ashamed of what I have released to the public and fans. This constant "improving"/Agile Development is an insult and more i read it just seems like SI have used...
i think my biggest success on this game so far is probably
- after having more code drops than bombs in the WW2 i still havent launched my laptop out of the window
Tomorrow is a different day though..
Network game is so slow with an unbelieveable amount of LAG my laptop is two weeks old. I cant remember when a network game was this slow.
The ME has regressed on my games, i'm getting no two highlights per game and generally watching the clock tick away.
I've never seen so many bizzare passes...
