SexSim 2 General Discussion / Re: Let's get this party started!

« Last post by Giselle on December 02, 2019, 12:27:17 PM »

Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving and weekend (if you do that sort of thing!)

I'm currently working on the next patch and have tried to squeeze even more performance out of it, so as soon as that's ready I'll put it out there. Also trying to get a Mac version ready so fingers crossed that it will be available for download soon.

Again, thank you for your comments and suggestions! I'm diving into the code and sometimes won't properly resurface for days, haha. Still here, though, just likely a lot more quiet for a bit.

Is there a roadmap for future content/updates planned for Sex Sim 2?

Thanks for the effort , tried with the new build that you posted, its way better than the previous release

I have try from Low till Ultra mode, still running a ok ( although there is very little lag when at & beyond medium mode, but still bearable, since given with my low spec graphic card )

The only option that will cause heavy lagging for me is this (Ambient Sky Reflection) as long I disble it, everything seems fine.

Hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving and are not reading this until well after the holiday!

Unfortunately, the new test version doesn't seem to make a difference for me. Still floating eyeballs and hair and extremely slow lag no matter what graphics settings I used (and I went in and pulled all the other settings down to min as well with no change). Actually, there IS a change: now the water won't render and just looks black. Ah well...

Let me know if there's anything else I can try or send you.

Thanks for the comments, everyone!

I've uploaded a new build for testing, here: https://sexsim2.com/_files/_test/SexSim2_1.001_Test_setup.exe

If you're having troubles, please try it out. Did some hard core optimizing that I hope will help smooth things out. Plus, in Visual settings there are some new sliders and toggles, for terrain density, sky reflection, etc. so please do try those to see if it helps more. You can get to settings quickly, even on the start screen, by hitting ESC and then clicking "options".

Please let me know what happens.

Thanks also for trying FLSM. Glad it runs good and you like it!

As far as FFM, MMF, and other multi-partner options, yes, we do plan to explore that down the road, and I made sure to code things in so it can be done fairly smoothly once we get to it.

Anyway, I'm off for now. Been working since release to smooth out these issues some of you are having, and I'm looking forward to kicking back tomorrow for Thanksgiving and just enjoying the day. I hope the same for you all. Have a great one! I'll be back later.

Hi Giselle!

Was able to download and run smoothly on maxed out settings, windowed or full screen, on Win7 actually. Running that on a gaming rig though, looks and sounds awesome. It seems to be a smooth upgrade in gameplay and graphics from original.

Was a big fan of the original SexSim, owned every pack and char, and environment I could get my hands on. Plan on doing the same with the new game.

The only thing missing from the original was some FFM or MMF poses. I was wondering if you have plans to add that content to the new game?

Like others here have already done I'd like to thank you and your tiny team for the amazing work you've done for this game over the years!

PS I also got the FLSM game, awesome graphics there too!

Hi Giselle,

Did try with the FLSM, running on the same resolution 1920x1080  and Fantastic option setting
everything smooth and no lagging.   

I also able play with some other recent 3D game from steam like CS-GO, or Dying Light, PUBG etc etc...

PS: Forgot to mention that i'm running on windows 10

Cheers~

Ok, I feel a little vindicated, haha.

FLSM runs like a dream. "Fantastic" graphics settings, no lag, and looks amazing. No issues at all.

Hi, Giselle
A few things...

1) Thank you for your quick attention and responses here! Even though the game is unplayable for me right now, I'm just a little frustrated but still basically cheerful and optimistic. I totally get that this is a release process, and I'm happy to help test it out, since I think this will be a really great program down the road.

2) Yes! Please let me know as you work on a Mac native version! I will very happily help test that out if you want.

3) Y'all are the experts, but I honestly would be surprised if the issue was only the virtual desktop. The whole point of the architecture is that it is running a totally stable environment, and my experience until now has been that it is identical to running a PC. However, I can totally buy that there is a problem here related to something being out of date...my graphics card especially, though like I say above I would think I would see some kind of difference between high and low graphics settings. Are you all running Windows 7? Is that my problem? Or maybe my card is fine, but I have an out-of-date driver.

4) I will download and try to run Future Love Space Machine and report back!

Thanks again for your help and willingness to engage by particular Mac issues.

Hi there! Huge fan of 1 and was very excited to get 2 ASAP!

Unfortunately, my system honestly can BARELY handle loading this game, and it definitely can't handle playing it. I put it on the "LOW" graphics setting at 1600x900 and it still cannot render anyone. The environment loads alright, but the characters just appear as floating hair and eyeballs with no bodies! And the game lags and stutters so badly that I cannot effectively control anything (I tried to use the right mouse to look around, and the lag made it so that I was looking straight down or straight up and couldn't fine tune the control back to normal. Oddly enough, at first I put the setting on "VERY HIGH" and got the exact same result (i.e. there seems to be no difference at all in the graphics if I use VERY HIGH or LOW).

My system is unusual in that I am running the game on a Parallels Desktop setup from MacOS 10.14.6. So my processor and card info might not be as meaningful, but I have a 10-core 3GHz Intel Xeon W with 64GB RAM running a Radeon Pro Vega 64 16GB and 64-bit Windows 7. I know it's not a PC gamer setup, but it runs SexSim1 (and the competing SV2) with no problems or hiccups whatsoever.

Any thoughts? Any additional information I can give?

Maybe it ’s not supported by the graphics card.
This is also the case when I play other games on my old graphics card.
It is recommended to use a slightly better graphics card than you are now.
Machine translation please forgive me.

Thank you for your input!
I think it's more likely this than the virtual desktop issue (more on that in a response to Giselle soon), but I'm still surprised by this. I'm real up on all things sound and music - that's what I use my Mac for professionally - but I don't really know graphics cards. My impression was that this was a really good one two years ago when I got this machine. Do they really go out of date that quickly? That's...discouraging. Also, if that was the issue I would think I would see at least some difference between running the game on VERY HIGH and LOW, but I don't; it behaves and looks exactly the same.
