Did no-one else notice this?

*sherlock mode*
I've compared the screenshots, and found a white dot in the same place (the dead center of the picture) in screenshot1 & screenshot3, and the same white dot screenshot2 - but in another place (a little off the center).

This means two things:
They have kept the crosshair in AAMFP.
They have cropped screenshot2.
*/sherlock mode*

I know, I know. It's pathetic.
But really guys, Samuel is definitely hinting at something here.

EDIT:
*embarrassment mode*
Ugh. I had the screenshots opened in tabs, and it somehow looked like the crosshair was in a different place in screenshot2. It's not.

Maybe these frame drops will be fixed in AAMFP and the game will take greater advantage of hardware instead of making it drop frames?
You didn't list you gpu.
And if you think about using the IGP of the i5 forget it.
If vram is full there is no solution it has to be stored somewhere else.
Like I said before, I have a GTX560. There's 1 gig of VRAM in it.

You were getting framerate drops with those specs? Somethings wrong then... I have a similar PC ( i5-2500k, HD5850CF), and it ran at 60fps always. Did you set SSAO samples to 128?

Why would we want a complex system for random spawning when we are going to play the game once. We aren't really suppose to play the game more than once.

I think it's already possible anyway... You just have to get a random value and if that random value is X, then the monster spawn that has value X, spawns.
In a nutshell: (Make multiple spawn points, disable them all, get random value, if value X then enable monster X, if value Y then enable monster Y)

I'm playing on 16 SSAO samples and on Medium resolution.
What ingame resolution did you play on?

Picture from the pig area.

Order of the Black Eagle, anyone? Seems a bit far-fetched, sure, since the Order of the Black Eagle was located in Prussia during the first Amnesia and consisted of noblemen, not traders. Then again, a lot can happen in 60 years.

Could Mandus be trading with the Order of the Black Eagle? What would they be trading?

**GrAVit** · 11-03-2012, 02:47 PM

It looks more like a mushroom to me...
...Super Amnesia Bros?

**Ghieri** · 11-03-2012, 03:24 PM

That looks like a stag, not a bird.

My dad lived in Germany for 6 years and that exact bird was his landskreig(the flag for a province of Germany)
Don't really think its a lead

Naah... I'd say that's a stag. You can clearly see the antlers Wink

Yes, it's the emblem of Brandenburg. Which does sound a bit like Brennenburg... but not sure if its a lead.

I agree with it looking more like a stag.
