WSE2 Beta and technical issues

Seeing how the double xp brought a lot more people onto the servers, how about having a double xp weekend more often?

Very fucking awesome update, can't express how stoked I was when I saw all the new shit I could do.

THANK YOU BASED chadz

So far I see no changed in gameplay. Only thing that is different is some video/graphics options. And as far as that goes I really dont see a difference from that from the normal max settings.

So you had max graphics before and you have max graphics now?

Good for you.

What the new WSE did was make people (like me) who had to play on lowest graphics, now being able to go medium+. Great improvement for us.

WSE2 beta won't work. I get the error message "this application has failed to start because d3dx9_43.dll was not found" I'm guessing it has something to do with directx9.

I don't know how you guys made the animations smoother but, uh, thanks.  Often-choppy attack animations have been one of the banes of my existence since I started.  The weapon trails really help too.  Also, I'm running at the same FPS with more stuff turned on...are you guys wizards?

Good stuff.

Pretty amazing. I am now playing with everything on the highest setting except the water reflections (and fxaa by preference) at 60 locked fps. It looks amazing, and with the right texture and sound mods it's pretty damn surreal. Plus weed. Lots and lots of weed.

Really nice job devmen. Huzzah.

Did a little fps test today on eu3. WSE gave me around 40+ more fps than the normal cRPG, great work!

[Xol!]

Yeah, I used to run everything on medium to low with AA and AF both off just to make sure I didn't have any framerate drops.  I always kept HDR off because it was way too overdone.

Now I've got everything on high, AA and AF both on, and I sit at a steady 80 fps.  I can even turn HDR on low because it's not nearly so drastic anymore.

This stuff, plus the text size and log changes make the game so much more attractive.

Great job devs.
