Update on improvements since demo
   

Here's a post from Heuristic Park's Chuk on some of fixes they are working on (no link after a forum wipe at Dreamcatcher)...I particularly like the targeting, compass and fixed camera:

quote:
Also, the Windows Key, Alt-Tab and Dual-Screen Issues have all been fixed!

"Muffled Sound Bug" fix is in the works...

Currently, Visible Targeting (Optional), Compass (Optional) and Absolute Fixed Camera (Optional) are all being added as options page settings!

Resolutions (4:3) up to 1600 x 1200 are all now functional!

We are grinding away at the fixes folks and I'll let you know when you're going to get to check out all the new changes!

Thanks again for all of your feedback! It has already made a HUGE difference in a short amount of time!

-CHUK

I'm pleased to see that targeting is now implemented. I think that was something everyone missed in the demo!!

WTF!?!?!?!

Chuk SAID all this crap was fixed/implemented?!?

Half of this stuff is still bugged or missing! Damn, if you bought the game based on this list, you would be mega-pissed...

In light of recent events, this is pretty amusing. For what it's worth, there is indeed a compass. Now they just need to implement everything else.

Seriously, this was posted more than a month ago? It's like he's talking about some build that was never released.
