Sweet, it's time for me to purchase Black Shark 2

[Kunter7]

Sweet!!

Downloading now.

 

Thanks, devs!!!

[Luigi Gorgonzola]

At first glance it seems fine. Once I figured out that I downloaded the wrong patch (the patch for the patch instead of the patch for the full version :wacko:) the installation just did what it's supposed to do. Startup, new option "Shadow Tree" (hmpf?) checked as I'm still hunting FPS, quick instant action to check the ADF thingy (all fine here) - nice :)

 

Strange, it still is a 'copter... ;)

[spikenet]

Thanks Wags.

[ECV56_Tordo]

:thumbup: Thanks!!! Downloading!!!

[airdog]

Thanks downloading the torrent. Special thanks to the Texas comcast customer who is seeding at big time speeds!

[Kunter7]

I'm in Texas and with Comcast... hope it's me... LOL!

 

Thanks to DCS, I swear my frame rates are 10 - 15 frames faster.

Optimize that mother, boys! You're on the right track!

[Kunter7]

Average seeding between 460.5 kb/s and 560.5 kb/s going up... using uTorrent.

Hope everyone is sharing... always repay the community by seeding.

It's in your favor... and good kharma! :-)

 

Edit: Looks like Comcast decided to slow my connection down... too much bandwidth?

So much for paying for the "good stuff". Ha!

 

Another Edit: Okay, doing almost 600.00 kb/s up now... go for it!

[crazysundog]

[TAIPAN_]

Thanks ED! Faster than I thought

[P1KW]

[WildBillKelsoe]

Time to spread the word to the mercs! Thanks Matt!

[Kuky]

I'll be seeding till tomorrow morning as I have to use internet for work the next day... also I just wanted to say thank to ED team, they have done great job on BS2 v1.1.1.1 :thumbup:

[MTFDarkEagle]

Cheers ED ;)

 

I feared the worst after the ETA change to "in the near future" :) , but all turned out good!

[Yurgon]

Great news! Downloading now via Torrent and will be seeding for a while.

[Jona33]

9h 35m the torrent has been running and 20.1% complete.

[213]

fyi the ftp link is faster even though it takes awhile to load.

[WildBillKelsoe]

Thank you ED for such a great patch. My FPS have improved alot. I was in co-op last night, and I did not have the FPS stutter with moving my head in the cockpit with game start. Nice work too on the Shkval B/C adjustment. Waiting for the next module like a hooker on ice..

[Jona33]

Nice suprise, give up last night, run the torrent now and 1.5mb/s speed.

[C6_Hellfrog]

great job on NVG and FPS, and moreover for releasing this patch quickly enough after first feedbacks.

 

could we have other ones with lasting bugs later...

[Devrim]

Thanks ED.

 

I purchased full version of BS2 finally. Downloading now.
