@TeosGame @Darktide40K may not be the classic definition of a shooter game, but there will definitely be shooting!😏

[Alexander Wester @Piratkopia13]

@Dachsjaeger I'm glad you're hyped! We have put a lot of work into the game and I think it's shaping up to become something great

[Alexander Wester @Piratkopia13]

@rygorous @Parrinz0r This was spot on - I was writing to a write-combine destination! Thanks a lot! 😄 seeing a ~20x improvement now, will look into your other tips for further improvements 👍

[Alexander Wester @Piratkopia13]

@rygorous @Parrinz0r Also, this is on bcn encoded textures, but not using oodle texture. Could oodle texture increase decompression speeds?

[Alexander Wester @Piratkopia13]

@rygorous @Parrinz0r I am experimenting with this now. Using mermaid on fast preset. Decompression of 64k(uncompressed) tiles seem very slow. Averaging ~1ms per tile, min ~0.02ms and peaks over 2ms (seem to vary on texture format). Is this what you would expect or am I doing something wrong?

[Alexander Wester @Piratkopia13]

@rygorous @Parrinz0r Still very good to know, but I also don't think it will matter to us. We are going to try compressing streamable textures, hopefully resulting in some nice disk space savings. Thanks!

[Alexander Wester @Piratkopia13]

@rygorous @Parrinz0r That's great! We got a bit discouraged after seeing the header declaration for CompressOptions saying chunklen "must be a power of 2 and >= $OODLELZ_BLOCK_LEN"

@BahnhofAB Det låter bra! För att förtydliga så kollade jag precis efter min publika ipv4 sätts igång, fick då ingen ipv6. Ringde upp teknisk support och fick då svaret att det inte går att få båda. Men skönt att så inte var fallet

[Alexander Wester @Piratkopia13]

@BahnhofAB Vad är grejen med att ni inte tillåter ipv6 samtidigt som publik ipv4? Kombinerat med att ni tar betalt för publik ipv4 säger det emot det ni sagt över telefon om att ni är väldigt mycket för ipv6..

[Alexander Wester @Piratkopia13]

Jag är nöjd i vilket fall. Men ni kanske ska se över hur ni utbildar er tekniska support gällande ipv6 för att inte skapa mer förvirring hos era kunder 😂 @BahnhofAB

[Alexander Wester @Piratkopia13]

Prövade nu att slå på native ipv6 igen, och den här gången verkar det fungera? Jag är väldigt förvirrad men det kanske är någon fördröjning i bahnhofs system innan det ger ut ipv6 efter publik ipv4 sätts igång?

[Alexander Wester @Piratkopia13]

@BahnhofAB Så länge majoriteten bara stödjer ipv4 så kommer alla vi som hostar tjänster behöva ha stöd för både ipv4 och v6. Annars blir övergången omöjlig
