Yeah, they released that update a couple months after I got back. Felt like an afterthought after tons of complaints from the community. Personally though, the damage was already done, there’s no way I’m starting from scratch after how much time I put into getting where I was.
But remember: once you start playing, you can never really stop unless you want all your hard work to be blown away by a sandstorm.
I lost hundreds of hours of grinding and building because I had to put the game down for a few weeks to deal with family shit. Came back and all my hard work, my bases, vehicles, ornithopters, everything, was simply gone. And that was on the single player map. Infuriating.
The game is gorgeous and a ton of fun, and I will never touch it again.
I can’t bear to watch this guy’s movies anymore. I like it when directors have a signature style, but his style is so heavy-handed and distracting, and never helps move the story forward. Then again, there’s usually not much of a discernible story in between his 10-minute-long slo-mo shots anyway, so I guess it’s just my personal preference.
Yeah, that’s a clearer way of saying it. I usually think of the highest quality commercially available version as being lossless, since the raw files or negatives are almost never accessible to the public (wouldn’t that be awesome??). But yeah, every DVD/Bluray is still technically just a disc with lossy video files that the studio encoded.
A remux is a fully lossless video file, typically a MKV, that is just the video streams from a DVD/Bluray wrapped in an MKV container. It’s not a new encoding, it’s the original video, in its original codec, fully lossless.
I personally like knowing that I’m watching the best possible quality of any given media, without any extra processing. Most people probably wouldn’t immediately notice the difference between a high quality encode and a remux, but I’m a quality snob.
Amazing!
Seems like a very cool concept. Will/does it support outputting untouched remuxes? I don’t like to reencode my discs rips, I prefer a remux, and MakeMKV is the only reliable free option for this (as far as I know). I’d love to eliminate MakeMKV from my workflow…
Regardless, I’ll be watching this, nice work!
Ah that’s very cool. I can’t imagine why they didn’t have some permanence like this built-in from the start. It’s too little too late for me unfortunately, starting from scratch after hundreds of hours of grinding is not an option.
