Yes, we're still working on it. We found an alternative pathway into getting the game approved by Packeteer that we're hoping will be completed this week.

I think this thread has run into the sad ground of name calling.

1 in thread New patch cut performance by half [Known Issues / Troubleshooting]
It shouldn't have. It's essentially a frame rate limiter, but it only kicks in if you're going fast enough. You can follow the ini instructions earlier in this thread to turn it off. It'll also be removed in the 1.1 patch.

Since the patch, my system has been acting exactly the same as SWB described on page 5 of the posts here.

That's odd. I don't think I saw those out there on Friday.

Note these are only for the 8800 cards they will not work on other cards unless you mod them. Some people in other games have reported a image quality increase with these. Havent seen any release notes yet and its sorta an unoffical beta release.

1 in thread Lug Rigged Deal Longboat [Shipwright Discussion]
Not bad! Looks like you're almost there. I think two tweaks to your rigging will let you consider it "done:"

1) The fore set of main shrouds still seems a little unbalanced, as if something was pulling the upper block forward. Probably the best way to get everything positioned is to use some temporary lines as a guide. You have the two hook-points defined on the gunwales; run a line from the top of the mast to the exact midpoint between the two hooks. The upper block (and the very upper part of the shroud) should be on that line. (That said, we might end up leaving a small detail like this as "extra credit" in a final review.)

2) Keep in mind that the yards should have at most 1/3 in front, and at least 2/3 behind the mast. In a real lugger rig, that makes it easier to avoid catching the stays when dipping the yard around the mast.

As for the main stay, the reason you changed it to the current position is because the 3DSC asked you to

To get feedback, it's best to post your flags directly to a thread, before submitting. That way what you submit will have the best chances of being approved, rather than sent back for more work.

I've renamed this thread so you can do just that, so let's see your flag and sail ideas!
