Graphics Update

Well shoot; here, let me help!
Optimize for just the retina macbook pro, mid 2012.

That should lighten your load some; any more problems for me to solve?

Thanks for sharing this man, it's good to have true veteran coders real life feedback. This make me feel like these old days when i was reading Michael Abrash books about graphic programming and his experience with Carmack at ID software when they were coding Quake. I've never been a programmer, but i've allways had deep respect for true coders, and allways wanting to know a little bit more about the "behind the scene"

Neutrino, I hope many people here realize how lucky we are to have you and all the Uber team sharing this experience with us, this way. It's never seen before. We have been following PA development from the very begining and have this very nice opportunity to get feedbacks from Devs. Thank you again for offering this to us

Planetary Annihilation on a high dpi display :O About time other manufacturers outside of Apple get on those high DPI displays.

Not much danger there. I kinda like this thing.

There is one issue I have that is sorta related to the graphics tech, so I'll post it here (again, I complained before):
The fullscreen mod flickers horribly whenever PA loses focus. And it flickers all 3 of my screens. So it is pretty much annoying to use, which is why I still use my own fullscreen script that resizes the window to be "fullscreen".
Any chance that the fullscreen of the game itself will stop flickering in the future?
Or is this my personal issue?

Almost all of the code I have in the game was written on the macbook pro retina 2012. It's still my main home machine and it's in our test matrix.

Sometimes i wonder how you manage to hire the best of the best coders. There's no doubt, that in addition to the obvious PA qualities, our money has been spent efficiently. CTO is obviously the best position you could have at Uber

Brag time (with an embedded challenge to make varrak's head hurt even more, bwahaha!)

I actually push the video card pretty hard just running my daily setup.
Internal display is pushing 2880 x 1800 pixels, and I've attached a 27" Thunderbolt for another 2560 x 1440, adding another 24" LED 1920 x 1200 off the second Thunderbolt port.
My dream PA setup has ALL of those running the game, once we get to multi-windowed. I know there's a lot still to be done, but... that's my hope for this new 3 story house framework. That it supports all those pixels one day.

It does the same thing here, i have 4 monitors so its even more annoying. But its not really related the graphics optimization lol.

In my experimentation with the win32 api and opengl in the past, this win32 function call has been the cause of it.

Superior work environment to big companies is attractive. We work hard at that.

In Varrak's case he had worked closely with us in the past when he was at Intel.

A VANGUARD JUST ABUSED HIS POSITION TO PUSH HIS OWN AGENDA! JEHOVA! JEHOVA!




Sorry, couldn't resist. Carry on.

Uh... No.

That concern was about them saying to the Uber devs "Hey. There have been a lot of posts on the forums recently about XXXXXXX"

Where in fact, all of those posts were made by 1 vanguard member.

Stormingkiwi, you may need to see a doctor about your sarcasmectomy.

I have.

He told me that amputation was the only way, anesthetic was unavailable, and that above all else, I must trust him, he's a doctor.

In saying that, there was no sarcasm in that post?

I was just teasing you about your response to pownie, who was clearly joking.
