Oh great, second primetime this week wasted.

I notice they still haven't fixed that problem with other players shooting back at me...

I've been waiting two years for this moment...

It's only an improvement...but it will still be glorious!

If only it was said in English so us beer swilling lamebrains could understand!

I was away for some days and returned in time for the patch-tuesday, too.
Yesterday I could play a couple of minutes, but I hoped to catch up this evening, but ...
Maybe (and I hope) there will be an extension of running premium time as it had been with earlier downtimes.

No you don't

Your legs shatter the moment you touch anything because as far as the game is concerned you've been "falling" for the last X minutes and should take the appropriate amount of falling damage upon "impact".

[Red Sea]

Well, that being said, different gravity on planets should give less/more damage now that I think of it.

Does direct x 11 actually work in this game? last time I tried it, it made the game hang up when I tried to quit then when I logged in next the game put itself back to dx9.

[Sky Hunter]

Will this fix the problem where I have stopped my jump jets yet the game keeps lifting me into the air (often 10 to 15 seconds extra boost time) and dropping me and lifting me, and dropping me (I am serious, I crossed the entire chasm of the HPG Gen and was sooooo high up I went from full armor (100% to 85%) and both my legs were red cored after landing (the remaining 1/4 jump jets did nothing to stop that fall).

It does the raising dropping at the tops of buildings and often keeps shooting me up higher and higher than banding me back to the roof top damaging my legs more each time, and has killed me several times with the action while legs started at full armor before beginning the jump.

It's working much better now. I enabled it a few months ago and it's been stable.

Does DX11 improve FPS and overall game performance? I get like 60 in the mechbay, just in TG it jumps around 50-90, sometimes 100+....last time I was in a real game, I got like 20-35FPS...

Works but with an annoying behavior on my side, if something happen in the background, usually it's when my firefox plugin tell me I got a new email, the game will loose focus on lower on taskbar. I never bothered to open a ticket, I just keep playing in DX9 and have no problem.

I must not be alone experiencing this, no?

Sorry to double post, but had to reply to this.

The difference between DX10 and DX11 is extremely minimal, DX11 makes water and sky quality so real it is unreal.
In this picture you can see DX10 vs DX11, and in the picture after you see what it does to water quality.

Do not make the mistake of thinking your video card or your computer can handle the change, in the top picture set you can see the man is slightly more clarified, but in the second picture set you can see the truly awesome stunning effect it has on visual for water and sky.
In the both sets the DX 11 is on the left.
The fractal value is extreme.

(EDIT)
This last pic is DX11 vs DX9
http://hothardware.c...0&maxheight=980

You will likely notice DX9 looks slightly better than DX10, and at least on my PC, DX10 runs smoother and faster than DX9 but DX11 even with my high end Graphics card that I think is now obsolete.

Did anyone had to laugh watching this? I nearly fell from my chair laughing. He tries to explain something and gets shot all the time and is like "damn Im showing something here"...

Next time I'm making an After Effects or Cinema4D tutorial I'll leave some hornets and bees in my room for a more action like tutorial

I'd recommend trying it out. I have a low end machine and when DX11 1st came out I experienced the same issue. It made the game almost unplayable so I disabled it. I enabled it again a couple months ago after some fixes went in with some patches. I didn't notice an increase nor a decrease this time in fps.
