Yeah but if the engine (Unreal Engine) is capable of this, then perhaps we will see more later on. I think this is probably a Counterstrike type game so if you like running around in a certain level shooting the enemy, I suppose that would be great. I do not know much about the game itself but the engine is showing better quality than most high end renderers (Vray, Corona Render etc.) in just the outdoor lighting itself. I have tried to build a daylight system in both renderers and I could not achieve this quality GI. The lighting is probably image based HDR to get the almost perfect light setup that is here. I know 3D graphics, although not much anymore, but in the past, so this blows my mind. I kept trying to disprove it as being real life, as I have never seen anything of this quality before. I can blab all day about the quality and I still think this is Aprils fools joke or something. Here is one of my tries with image based lighting outdoors, the sun never looks right, believe me. If I were to point the camera towards a wall or something this image would not be anything like we see in the Unreal Engine. This is an image based HDR in the reflections and lighting. Yes it is simple because I am a simpleton I guess, but it was not even necessary to the project, just a test render for no real reason. I just noticed the haze outside around the trees, with no real sunlight, this is a trick to use when you cannot get sunlight to render properly or the distance would require too much detail that would ruin the photorealism, or you can use depth of field as well, which I have done in one of my projects, It is still amazing though. Depth of field to hide the unrealistic terrain and and terrible lighting. So have I blabbered enough. I must be a really lonely person.

Check this out: The thing that gets me is the lighting and to be this photorealitic and smooth 30-60 FPS seems impossible to me.

I decided to get the Fractal Design Meshify 2 XL due to the weight and the shipping problems people are having with the Corsair 7000. It seem that lots of people are getting their case with broken latches and hinges on the tempered glass. I love the case, but I do not want to haul the thing to UPS to RMA it for a replacement, and the thing is just too heavy. I will be doing all the heavy lifting myself and I am not strong enough to haul it around the house. INTEL I am afraid. I have looked into the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X and it is not that great compared to the Intel 13th gen i7. Also the AM5 motherboard selections are not that great. The ASrock LGA 1700 motherboard I like has 8 SATA and 4 M.2 4th gen. and it has 2 PCI Express 1.0 slots I need for my sound card and NIC. https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813162086?Item=N82E16813162086 I will have 4 M.2 Drives 1. 1TB M.2 NVMe 4th gen (Windows) 2. 2TB M.2 NVMe 4th gen (Games) 3. 500 GB M.2 NVMe 3rd gen (Downloads) 4. 500 GB M.2 NVMe 3rd gen (Temp) That and the 8 SATA Ports is the reason I like this board.

I will hopefully soon be running 64GB DDR5 4800 (stock speed for the motherboard) and my OS on a 1TB M.2 PCIx 4.0 NVMe and Steam on a 2TB M.2 PCIx 4.0 NVMe. I know this is not much of an upgrade from my 32GB DDR4 3000 and PCIx 3.0 NVMe M.2s, but the Intel Core i7-13700K and RTX 4070Ti should make the most difference. I know the 64GB is unnecessary, but it will be future proof if 64Gb becomes the sweet spot someday. I am using what newegg offers (for poor people) for financing without credit checks, which is pay over a year or two. This allows me to make 60.00 payments a month which it the only way I can get these things. I would MUCH RATHER be playing on my dead PC right now but the upgrade will be nice to have. I know I sound like those guys I hate, bragging about their rig, but my upgrade is so far away right now that I do not feel too guilty and I have a dead PC in my living room, so its not as much of an upgrade as it is a new PC to replace the other one. My luck as it is, I will be RMAing the Motherboard, RAM and Video Card in an endless loop. I used to trust Newegg, as they never sold me garbage, but the 16TB SATA drive I bought was a brick so I don't know about them anymore, especially with the new sellers thing they have - like on amazon - which I hate. The sellers could be scammers for all anyone knows. I miss getting my parts from newegg direct. And I just did it again, I completely derailed the post.

I like to grind, so I feel good when I build what I want for a base. I also stay in game longer than most I would imagine. My last game I was 160 some days in and my base was still not done. It may have been about some 80% done at that point . I always earn what I get without using the CM, It just feels like cheating using the CM, so if my base is done on day 180, I am happy. Here is where I left off of my incomplete base before my PC died.

Yeah I forgot the Iron and duct tape to fix all of your tools with repair kits. I am OK with using stone tools for a while but wrenches and hammers are the best things to have early on, and I think they drop fairly early in loot. Clicking the stone axe to repair and too build is kind of irritating I agree. As far a Salvage Operations, It took me quite a while save radiators and headlights and not to sell them for a few bucks. I even used to scrap radiators and batteries, I did not know you could smelt directly, which was a waste of lead and brass. For building a large base you need forges (a lot of them), cement mixers and workbenches. Without being able to get these from perks, I do not know how long it will be to find them in loot. Which is why I wish to keep the perks & skills the way they are.

I think I was wrong, it was Motherload not Miner 69er, sorry about that, I have not played for a while so I forgot some of the perks and skills. Of course having Iron tools is great too, I was referring to mining for stone and iron to make concrete, forged iron and forged steel. I used salvage operations to make minibike handlebars so I could (after some points into Better Barter) buy some of the things I want to add to my base (ofcourse after Advanced Engineering 2 or 3 I forgot which) you need to make electronic equipment for traps and generators and the like with wrenched mechanical, electrical and scrap polymers and also engines for generators.

Well my 2 cents is that I wish the skill and perk section did not change. I like the way it is now and I believe that resorting to looting to find schematics will kind of suck for base builders, simply because we look forward to maxing most INT and Miner 69er and Salvage Operations among others to get the resources and unlocks to be allowed to make concrete and steel and allowing you to build your base somewhat earlier on, rather than waiting for a schematic do drop. Also the idea of Loot Stage, may make these schematics seem harder to find. Its just my opinion and seeing how I do not have a PC to play, my opinion may not matter as I am not actively playing the game right now - but I am really bummed out about that. I really do not know most of these changes to really make a statement, but I wish the skill and perk setting would not change at all. Yes I know I could play A20.6 to my hearts content, but I miss out on the other things added that I really like in the update. Now that I think about it, it would be quite a bit better to allow random schematics to be found early on, but if the loot stage is low, I am not sure how often a crucible or workbench would be found. So I hope the loot is a little more generous than that of A20.6.

You can see the TBs in the photo. Most are 6TB and 3TB, one 4TB and the SSDs are 240GB I think. Windows is a partitioned 240 split with games. My two M.2s are 500GB an my 2 VMware SSDs are 1TB each which are in the dead PC right now. If I had the money I would transfer them to 16 or 18TB drives and save some physical space. I bout a 16TB drive from Newegg last month and it was a brick so I sent it back. I guess I should get used to RMAing in future as Newegg has very, very seldom sold me garbage.

Yeah that case has six 3.5 bays and two 2.5 bays. Kind of unbelievable I missed this when I looked at a fractal case. I still like the look of the corsair a little better. I think Its the abstract front thing I did not like too much on the meshify. I like a clean modern minimalist look, yeah its weird I know when talking about a computer case. Just think that that type of talk would have gotten you bullied in school 3-4 decades ago, but now its the hip thing to be into. I do miss the old days, at least the late 90s and early 2000s before everyone and their mother has a Twitch or YouTube channel. Makes it less an unexplored hobby, that only a few are into. Or maybe I am talking about the 80s, I don't know. This is 2010 and beyond: Who comes up with this? Does it make your bed and serve you breakfast, how often do I need to change the lithium crystals to keep it running. Anyway thank you for pointing out the case, I may change my mind by may, who knows.

Ive seen those but its still the 3.5 bay thing with me. It used to be that server full tower cases had at least six 3.5 and at least three 5.25 bays, but not anymore. I can barley find a case with one 5.25, and most have probably two or three 3.5 drive bays. Here is most of my drives save for the two M.2 and two 1tb SSDs have in the other PC right now that I don't need: I have them in three 4bay external enclosures and one single 1 bay enclosure. Which is ridiculously slow seeing how this PC only does USB 2.0 and the enclosures are USB 3.0. Yeah, I am a bit of a pack rat.

Luckily I have the PC I am using now which is a bit basic: i7 860 16gb 1333 GTX 1080 I tried to use my old GTX 670 with a HD movie and it was way too little GPU to do that so I just slapped my 1080 and I can at least watch some HD movies until I upgrade again. Some people asked me why I have 2 PCs, well when one dies the other will allow me to check email, do online banking and entertain me enough to be content. I do not think I could run 7DTD on this PC, even on the lowest settings. Man do I miss playing though, I had a cool base that was a WIP and it really sucks I cannot play it. I thought I would moan more than I did about it, but there is nothing I can do right now so I just have to deal with it. I have a funny joke about my heater. I had that heater say FU, and Get Out of Here so many times I just axe kicked it. Unfortunately this is true and I wish I was just paranoid, but my air purifier is saying FU about every 5 minutes sometimes more often. I do not know how they do it but I had it with that heater and was probably in a bad mood. I even had my vacuum cleaner and blow drier say FU to me, imagine that.

You would also get way better FPS with a computer as well. would look a lot better with a monitor too.

I do some 3D graphics work and I had a scene in the viewport and it was like a slideshow, so more memory for 3D graphics, for the most part. I already own the power supply and It should be enough for the RTX 4070ti. It has the new (should be unnecessary) PCI express cable to hook it up without a cable adapter. I got the MSI power supply due to a review for the best power supply for the RTX 4070ti and it being the best power supply at the moment but as more venders add the ridiculous PCI express cable. I am sure at that point I will probably would regret the MSI power supply. I like the Evga power supplies, but again I went with a good review for the MSI. I will look into other socket LGA 1700s, I have only seen Z790 and Z690 but I want to get a solid motherboard at around $300 and no more than about $300. I do not want Micro ATX or a budget board, so I will be doing a lot of research until September. I just looked at other chipsets and I will stick with Z790, the board I am looking at now is https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813144567?Item=N82E16813144567 It has features that the best $600.00 to $1000.00 range Z790s have but without more bells and whistles that I do not need. I just remembered another reason for 64GB ram. I do not want to replace the ram on the board and 64GB is future proof. I am also going to be using a Noctua NH-U12S, which may cover some of the ram banks and there is no way I want to unseat my heatsink just to put upgraded ram, or extra modules.

I had the same smoke come from my space heater, but I axe kicked it so it makes sense that that would happen. I am afraid to build a new PC, but I have no choice as the other one is dead. I can just see me RMA-ing some parts, like the motherboard, CPU, memory or Nvme ssds, or all of them as my luck has it now. I am concerned about the RGB lighting being plugged into the motherboard and bricking the board and all it contains. Just out of luck now I guess. Or maybe an invisible gremlin that does not think too highly of me is following me - more than likely that.

I guess if the motherboard supports it it should be fine. Just curious, now that my good PC is dead, what would a: i7 860 DDR3 1333 GTX 1080 Look like in 7DTD alpha 20. To be honest I do not even want to try it until I get a better PC. 7DTD Alpha 16 was the only game that ever fried my GPU. I had a GTX 690 (which I now know was not worth the price) and I got garbled graphics on my monitor and my PC froze and I had to restart, I was concerned it killed my GPU, but luckily I just restarted and all was OK. I have never played a game that did that before and after.

What do you use for virtual machines? If you are talking about ESXI forget I mentioned it, as its above my knowledge.

Well the reason for the case is that it has six 3.5" drive bays + three 2.5" bays. The lower 5000 has two 3.5" drive bays, or I would buy that one. like I said before, a NAS would be better for 7 hard drives, but the cost of a good NAS is twice that of the 7000 Airflow. I wish there was more support in full tower drive bays, but there is not very much anymore. Lian Li had some nice full towers back in the early 2010s, but now they are going more for form than function with full all around glass nonsense, so my choices are limited these days if I want 6 SATA drives. If you can point me to a case with six or more 3.5" drive bays, please do. The main thing I have against the 7000, is that it weights over 40 pounds without hardware. Another thing is that I will be using a Noctua NH-U12S and six140mm 2000rpm fans in the 7000 and no watercooling, this should keep temps down for a waterless cooling scheme. I am not ready yet for liquid of any kind including AIO in my case. Also I changed it to: This will probably change because I will not be able to afford this until September.

Like you pointed out the difference would be so minimal, that TFP would need to have a benchmark (I know they wont of course), like Crysis and the Metro series. I do not know if we will get better performance in cities in A21, as they say its the glass and it will be fixed - I guess. I already own a RTX 4070 Ti so my GPU will not be the bottleneck that the GTX 1080 would. I got my PC together with the RTX 4070 Ti and the 9700K and the DDR 3200 and right after I reinstalled window and was ready to benchmark everything, my PC died, turns out it was the motherboard so I will be upgrading to the Intel Core i9-13900 and 64 GB of DDR5 4800. So it will be a more rounded PC than the 9700K, DDR4 3200 and GTX 1080. I am sure a benchmark would give some guys like me a woodie, but It will never happen. So that 1-2 FPS difference in DDR5 over DDR4 would very hard to notice. Also I am not as inclined as others about PC components. I do know about clock speed and timings but not much else. That would be the reason for getting the motherboards standard 4800Mhz DDR5, so I will not have to overclock the memory on the motherboard, I think it will just be accepted and not need XMP to set the clock speed Higher.

I had overclocked my 9700k and twice I found out in windows that it was without the OC. I do not know why this happened either. I would just call the memory timings and OC as a win. I know this game is CPU aggressive so it seems that the best card you put in may not make a big difference and if you get down into the 30s (like my GTX 1080) with a RTX 3080 Ti, then this game is really hogging more CPU and memory speed than I had thought before. Its like getting a CPU with 16 cores that achieves less GHZ than a lower 8 core CPU that achieves higher GHZ, I would assume this game would achieve higher FPS with the higher clock speed. For that matter maybe this game would like the new DDR 5 and its higher clock speed than the DDR 4 lower clock speed. I have 3200 DDR 4 and my new upgrade will be DDR 5 @ 4800, this may make a difference as well. Who really knows about this game anyway. I am sure the voxel engine is the real culprit with CPU performance, than that of a polygon engine game. If you ever get some spare time in the game, find the skyscraper construction POI and bring it down with an auger at it base and watch the slideshow after that. That is all CPU there.

I just thought of this. I have had this annoying popup before and after reading more about it, it may help with the shift key: https://geekflare.com/using-sticky-keys-in-windows/ I can't test it as I do not have steam now, so you will have to try it on your own.

Gyrocopter auto pilot. Yeah that would be cool. I would just settle for altitude leveling. I sometime go slow up or slow down but I never achieve stable level flight. Sometimes it bugs me when I am making a large trek on the gyrocopter, and when it gets dark or really foggy and I cannot even see the altitude setting on the top right because the text blends in with the sky on the compass area, and I descend or clime way too high. There is no way to travel safely without auto leveling during this. I do not remember what it is actuality called in flights sims but unless you are playing ultra realistic on your sim, they usually have a leveling command. I am torn with the option to add roll to the gyrocopter via the mouse because it would make flying way easier but you would not have freelook to look down and see what your flying over.

Yeah with senior discounts so that is a plus I guess. Got mine last year. Its possible guys in my generation grew up on erector sets, Lincoln logs, Lego's and just plain block. around the time of the Atari 2600 and mega arcades. So I believe the whole block structure of the game is like playing with blocks for adults. So this may be the thing for older people, It is for me anyway, Is true for most 3D game engines too, for level design. I do see the need to have cap locks for always run. For most 3D FPS and TPS games you have Toggle Crouch and Always run, always run should be cap locks. As said, if you start the game with cap locks on, you just always run in game until you toggle cap locks off, its not too difficult to do.

Flying the gyrocopter is much worse. You have to have your pinky on the shift key, left finger to the middle finger for A - YAW left, middle finger on W Forward, and index finger on D - YAW right, all the while keeping C for pitch down and Space for Pitch up. The lack of mouse roll kinda sucks too. But it i nice seeing everything with mouse free look, like the minibike used to be. I cant do this so I let go of W (forward) and Hit A while not accelerating to use A to pitch left. I kind of sucks and a quick fix for this would be a gamepad like the rumblepad 2, or similar, but then you have a controller for just one purpose like in GTA you use the gamepad in the vehicle uintil you jump out of the vehicle, which is annoying but I have done it.
