<div class="IPBDescription">is there anyways to turn it off?</div>when do you think we will see another pass on it? I am really looking forward to having something nicer to look at because it ruins the look of the game right now (really bad eye sore). Does anyone know a way to make the infestation not visable?

    Aesthetics will come last.

    What I want right now, in order of importance is:
    -Server optimization
    -Game optimization (oc)
    -Game play, balance, and game additions.

    ...making it invisible would break its gameplay elements.

    I would probably nudge "- Game\Server stability" in there too (noone likes a server-crash or a CTD).

    Bigger priorities right now, don't worry, Croach will get completely redone, eventually.

    Jup. Since it is almost always on I don't care the colors, why not trying pink?


    To the topic

    I think they will stay with this till the final DI-Mechanic. And also it looks so ugly because polishing it up will cost more resources to render (bader FPS) on your machine
    And it is hard to say as programer that it will come next month because if it takes longer the flames in the Forums will start and some players may get dissapointed of UWE then. So asking for when something will be done or when it is planed is like when I sak you: Where are you at 12/12/2025?

    I was thinking about redoing my crotch, too.

    Another "lets revisit this discussion when the game is finished discussion".

    I agree it grossly hideous right now, bit can you imagine your FPS drop if they included dynamic infestation? we will def. see a drop in active players due to extremely laggy gameplay.

    One day, DI will be like running through fungal, chunky pudding, but for now, I just want optimizations.

    I'm worried about how dynamic infestation will handle lighting. Coating halls with huge amounts of entities that each need individual lighting calculations is bad enough, but constructing and removing dynamically and combining that with fire? I want to see how this is pulled off.

    This was done dynamically, and was recalculated each frame when the fan moved. It looked natural, didn't cause a huge fps drop, and was truly dynamic.
    <a href="http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/578930397349418593/32DC145215D0C387405FF0E36F116323738BCABA/" target="_blank">http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/57893039...116323738BCABA/</a>

    If I can run this with atmospherics on at 25 FPS, lighting with infestation could probably be done at a solid 50 fps.

In other words adding more objects and lights doesn't cause a significant increase in render time...
