Figured I'd give an update since my replacement parts arrived...

From 30 fps with the E6400 and 8600GTS to 100 fps with the E6600 and 8800GTS.

So uh...yeah, get those better parts (or higher/better) if you're thinking about upgrading.

Thanks to this upgrade, I can now play FF again without crashing. The whole reason I upgraded was because my computer started to die. I'd be playing FF and eventually (quickly), I'd lock up, run out of memory, or any number of other lame things. It made it real easy to work on FF. And by easy, I mean I wanted to strangle somebody. So before, I was struggling to work on FF while my job was taking up most of my time and my computer was turning into a worthless kid toucher. Now all I have to do is deal with the whole lack of much free time due to my job...thing.

I guess it wouldn't be right if I didn't leak a screenshot...



I don't think that area has been shown before. Jesse recently made that tunnel to replace some semi-lame room or something that used to be there. When he first told me about a tunnel being made, I was worried it might be just as lame as the room or even worse. But I think it looks pretty damn cool. Now all we have to do is add a vehicle and the whole escape area should be done.

Well, nevermind. We still have to do the tower/button stuff. See, the button you see in that screenshot won't be the button used to open the escape door. We may or may not keep that temporary button, but it definitely won't be used to open the escape door in either case. The plan is to have 1 tower on the right side of the door with a button, and the other button over there in or around that red building.

Annnnnywho...
