Well, this is major progress - just went almost 1:45 in PTU, averaging 10-20 FPS which for me is totally playable, not for combat but totally fine for exploring, etc. Did a simple trade flight in my SpacePenguin, then flew over to ArcCorp 141 and FINALLY got to drive the Ursa, kind of ahot mess but super fun, nothing beats four-wheelin', err, I mean six-wheelin' on Daymar.
This open universe sandbox is what I am so stoked about and it was nice to finally be able to really enjoy it at a playable FPS, Daymar is awesome, got a sunset and sunrise while there.
Wanted to visit Lagski to get a new helmet since latest patch wiped out my previous equipment but lagged out crashed to desktop as I tried to get through customs but this is a very solid improvement as far as I am concerned.
Did have a couple glitches I am about to check issue council for, the Penguin was totally unstable on power-up on Daymar, both times literally just started jumping around like a bucking bronco, almost took out a Cutty and a 'Lancer at 141. When the doors were gltiching on Oli and Daymar I could see the environment through the opening instead of the room behind the doors until I got real close.
Gotta say I think they may be closing in on a Christmas miracle, hope this goes live in next day or two.
