Improving and optimizing shadows

News
24

Mimimi why are you improving the game instead of improving the game?

Never gets old reading the same stuff every time a graphics update hits the game lol…

It’s just a shadow quality upgrade. It’s one improvement on one nimious thing, i do understand that any improvement matter, but you don’t need to play the part of the slave that fell in love with the whip.

I don’t remember a single person asking for this, and the list goes on and on. Meanwhile some interiors are a hellhole and you can’t see sh*t.

I like graphics upgrades so i guess ill like.

BUT

I have been reminded recently (in a big way) that graphics are far less important than Gameplay, features and content that works

Easy Red 2, a $10 indie game has:

  • AI that actually fights, flanks, uses grenades, smoke and all emplacements
  • AI drops spot markers and reacts
  • decent impactful smoke
  • large maps, objectives and scale
  • seamless functional bipods and MG barrel changing
  • functional medics
  • dragging wounded
  • full map destruction
  • proper distance rendering, especially planes
  • unique faction animations (like Germans 1 hand sprint)
  • tanks with all coaxil mgs working and AI operated
  • tanks can change shell type without having to fire
  • tanks dont get stuck on small objects, and crush fences without being brought to a stop
  • tanks that just dont blow up 1 hit 90% of the time
  • orderable tank AI crew to dismount and repair

And so much more.

Enlisted needs to step up on the details (much of the above is active in mods). Its not the only WW 2 squad shooter, but it “should” be the best… A $10 Indie game does the battles better

Atleast now we know what each setting does

Can you say this again for those in the back thinking the devs are saving the game with meaningless graphics updates. Enlisted has a lot of competition in this gaming space outside of just this game. And it’s not just other WW2 games that they are in direct competition with either

Better graphics are always nice, literally any improvement/changes to gameplay is always nicer to have

I’m hoping this news is actually a disguised announcement that they’ve found the bug(s) in graphics causing substantial game crashing issues for many players.

Can you add SSAA 2x to the game? 4x is too demanding and in WT SSAA at 2x looks amazing and still make game run well.

33

true but they also cheat with their tanks since they have ESP and always know where you are it’s annoying

agree it’s great

while HE or nades have pitiful range and tanks are not fun to play against infantry and also not fun vs other tanks most of the time due them cheating and also tanks having simplified module damage

it’s great but you have to run for too long after you die for the first time, game doesn’t have rally points or apcs or spawn near commander like in battlefield

except they barely work, you rarely can use them against windows, agree about mg barrel changing it looks great

they would only work in a pve game like Easy Red 2

It’s not like DF couldn’t add them but it’s obvious that they only use Enlisted as their new cash cow, most of the things they add are premiums or fomo, where are new maps? new ai improvements? fixed bipods? yeah nowhere to be seen.

Unlike Enlisted in ER2 you can play a lot of famous vehicles without grinding for years like in Enlisted, just buy dlc and play with Calliope or Churchill

Other good think about that game is that Easy Red 2 has workshop support and you can play on new maps with new objects added and also new weapons/vehicles all included in your $10 purchase (some may require dlcs).

I really wish they would make HE/HEAT shells or other explosives more impactful, fix enemy tanker cheating ai, let us to spawn closer to the other teams, improve animations to not feel as clunky/stiff and then you would have a better game than Enlisted.

That Pershing for sure is hidding in the shadows we first need to enable ultra shadows to find it.

I have been playing it on Realistic and while it does happen a little (mainly first spawn of the game), it hasnt been often for me? I mean I have been lazered by an AA gun or MG emplacement straight away before haha

Yeah but enlisted does! so would be better, Take the good (which is ALOT) and add it here.

Personally I like this. HE filler 1 shots tanks most of the Time in Warthunder and Enlsited (in Warthunder its justified because crews on foot isnt a thing). But in Enlisted, It would be an improvement to gameplay for alot more crews to abandon tanks and get a chance to make use of that Repair Feature and crew kits

Not saying its perfect, However I have had good experience with it…In the very least It will work 100% when prone seamlessly (which is more than you can say for enlised). That alone is :ok_hand:

Dragging no, Interacting/reviving soldiers in downed state, yes.

Its a great little pickup!

Dear Major, could you please share these feedback points with the corresponding devs so that maybe we can see such improvements in the upcoming news?

Why am I pinned to this post?

HI dear James. It is time to inform us the delay of Battle Pass of Season 4.

40

In the old lone fighter mode it had, not near commander but spawn on any of your 3 squadmates.

We’re quite far from the “Improving shadows” topic though. :stuck_out_tongue:

Umm @James_Grove @MajorMcDonalds where is rest of my squad?

I just noticed that when using this squad instead of six soldier I would get only 2 soldiers like when im paraing around the point only 2 soldiers will be present and my other soldiers well they are nonexistent

Perhaps the devs don’t know how to fix these bugs—which would explain why they haven’t been fixed. Or, they simply don’t know how to prioritize their work. I don’t know the real reason, I’m just guessing. But until the bug issues are resolved, they’re going to keep losing players because nobody wants to play an annoying game—except those of us who just put up with it. I know if I find a better, less buggy game I’m going to leave myself.

I feel like the graphics department should be focusing on performance rather than visuals, something that actually effects gameplay. The games performance has gotten way worse for me in the past few months, has anyone else experienced this?

I agree with you on this. None of the recent graphics updates did anything to the overall game and no one would bat an eye if they never came out in the first place.

Yes, I have experienced this since they released the Halloween event. The problem is that the higher ups fail to realize that adding more and more graphics code and not optimizing the code is like throwing trash into top of an already full trash bin. I’m glad that they are taking some steps to optimize the code with this last update. But it still needs more work, and I think that it will be many more updates before they realize that they should optimize the code again
