Thanks for clearing up your pro-nouns. All these years and I thought you used different ones, whoops. 😱

 

Well, the upgrade is not straightforward because we tried to make the installer easier (one unified link, to install everything), and look what happened. 

 

But that is the nature of software development; you try different methods that look fine for the testing base, but then when it gets 'into the wild' it turns out there are other issues.  What matters, I think, is that we try to fix those issues, and don't just go dark. But at least we are using a free update to learn here for next time... 😉

 

I know; that's why I wanted to clarify my pro-nouns just for your benefit. 

As for my previous comment of the upgrades not being straightforward, this is my fault I did not take the time to read anything and assumed that this upgrade would continue the past trend of being overly complicated. I admit (after reading a few notes) I was wrong. 

Truly credit is due for you and your team for your hard work, after all these years its finally simple to use.

Thank you

why are these upgrades never straightforward. Thanks to all for providing "How to info"

That's where the commander's IR searchlight used to be fitted. Looks like they've just put a GoPro on it now.

Not sure thats a GoPro. Check this.

Saw this on the news , but I don't know what that attachment is used for on top of BMP-2.

Anyone know ?

Nice work!

The point of this thread is to let everybody voice his preferences. That, if multiple people express their wishes, some of them may be contradictory, is pretty much a given. The community is not a hive mind. Insofar I find this critique unfair, as it juxtaposes different opinions from different people as if they were coming from a single body. That simply isn't the case.

 

Also, I think I made clear that eSim is working on an entirely new engine that will no longer use DirectX 9, that an explicit and major goal of this engine is to separate the render loop from the simulation loop, and as a natural consequence of that a server that doesn't need a graphics card in order to host a session appears quite feasible, possibly via command line switch. Insofar we'll be able to maintain established hosting procedures as well as allowing people with a dedicated gaming server to run SB Pro  without the need for a graphics card.

 

Everybody wins.

Can we move on now, please?

You made me happy , now just take my money and make it happen. Just kidding.

Thanks for the info.

Well how about we make that optional?

 

Some / many use the server application, but participate as well, rather than running two instances (1 x server and 1 x client) on the same machine.

Yes if there was a way to disable the need for GPU before starting a server. It will give flexibility. 

But could be more complex to implement. 

Non-GPU dedicated version is for pure server client environment where raw power of processor and large amount of ram could be utilized. 

But since SB can only use single thread its really not relevant. 

It would also be useful for someone who wants to host SB session with server living on a cloud platform such as google , AWS etc. We can add a gpu there but it cost lot more. 

It would be nice to have non-gpu version of exe just for scenario like that.

I can dream for now.

a multi treaded/Multicore Client/server so we can run bigger scenarios (and actually use more then 1 core) without trouble and an import function to EU 2 meter laser maps.

 

And my greatest wish a M41 Dk1

 

MD 

+++1 on that.

And add - No 3D graphics - Dedicated Server exe. So we can run these on servers without needing GPU.  

I don't know how i missed this.

This is amazing, thank you.

You can dig vehicle emplacements with engineering vehicles now.

When was that added ?

i guess the question i would ask if eSimGames would allow us to transfer the license to smaller dongle if we bought one ?

Thoughts +Snake ??

IF someone theoretically was clumsy and almost broke it ... could one then get a new dongle ... ?

Good question. 

Is there a compact or more portable version of the dongle.

I almost broke mine as it sticks out and i hit it with my leg.

Ability to build ditches and emplacements while in game. Sorry if it exists already. I was thinking it would be nice to have.

While we didn't have a big session, did have some fun co-op with Nate afterwords.

 

But also go this shot during the session:

Thats pretty cool. 

BUMP !

Yep ! Who knew he use to ride vespa's

I found a picture of DARK when he used to be a Vespa scooter riding MOD back in UK.

Why no pre-order like Steam does ?

Get with the times dude !

Tell me god dammit ! 

I want it bad.

Imagine this with Steel Beasts:

 

 

Waiting for @dejawolf and @Damian90 to do their usual Indian trolling. 

Jumping in late for this,

But one thing that would be great is a dedicated server file which does not render graphics on the server.

this would enable some of us to then host sb on a AWS or google cloud instance like i do for ARMA 3. 

And i will admit i dont know how hard or easy it would be to implement and make a dedicated server for SB.
