    I understand, but still a good improvement, if I do say so. I was even thinking of a toggle for the hex lines, roads I assumed would be added because there are bridges across the rivers.


    And why NOT, it looks awesome... You can't say it doesn't, Dude, get a HDTV or try a higher setting with what you got... IMO it looks Great, sure it's a WIP, but for a 1st showing, well it's pretty good, and can only get better. The Volcano with smoking crater looks great, the water looks great, even the flag for my Avatar looks good, the forest, I lost track of where I was standing until I moved again. There's Desert (or maybe Snow) and a Swamp, I didn't traverse the mountains to go see, I just panned around...

    I hope they don't wipe my chr, I had the eyes looking really good...

    It's pretty normal for a Graphically intensive program to cause a jump in CPU activity, and the GPU takes the brunt of it too... As long as the temperatures stay within operating limits, there's nothing to worry about.

    This place was awsome but I dont think it will be a place for a shop but a escape to get away.

    So you think it's still not up to the 64bit yet?

    I wanted to post this in this thread as well even though it's in the other thread sorry if you saw this already.

    I under stand this is a very early version of the map. I like a few others would like the curser to be shown and be able to drag the map instead of the camera following the hidden mouse when you hit the edges. Also 360 camera control is a must I really hate not being able to turn the camera all. Anyways just needs better texturing, more vegetation, more variety, and optional hex lines would also be a welcomed addition.

    I haven't played yet (not dev+), but I suspect this is exactly the problem. All new systems start like this and get optimized slowly through each release. Sometimes even DURING the release.

    Sail westward only at dusk. Keep your eye to the setting sun. Be wary of the world's edge; to do otherwise is to risk falling off.

    Not when said program is low poly, low texture resolution, only using basic rendering techniques and looks like it came from the 90's.

    tamino, it's a hex so there have to be corners ;). Try to be more patient and remeber we are still in pre-alpha. I am sure that portalarium will improve the map a lot from Rx to Rx.

    But that's not the final product just a first draft that was shared with us in it's early stadium.
    Let's see what we have in our hands at the end of the year and let us talk about that again.
