A good step! If only we could get x64 binaries/libraries to drastically speed up the game and especially load times. Pipe dream of course as they won't ever release the source code. >:(

Yes it's sad.

One day we would be able to use some Machine Learning algorithm on the Dark Web so it could disassemble Soulstorm executable and recompile it as an 64 bit executable ;-)

I'm on win 7, so this is only for 8 and 10?

Windows 10 definitely works, because... verified. In 8.1. Maybe.

That's a VERY good news! We definitely need some improvements on the engine side! Can something be done to improve sound quality? I think ALL sounds are very heavily compressed. Is that an asset problem or a game engine limitation? Maybe try to replace sound libraries for a newer version? Or change the maximum audio bitrate?

Ok, I'll see what's going on with the sound in the engine when I have time. I'll see what I can do. Isn't 178 bitrate enough? I can make it possible to launch it through scar or somehow make it so that the playlist is new and mp3 files can already be used there, say, 320 bitrate, but is there any point?

Of course! There is a big difference between 178 and 320 kbps! Especially for a "difficult" compositions (with many instruments). Sadly, it wouldn't improve already existing tracks - we would need new 320 kbps tracks! Also, make sure that they are 44 kHz and not 22 kHz - that also improves quality.
Basically, your goal would be to make that engine supports good quality audio - then people could add more quality tracks in their mods ;-)

Закиньте на VirusTotal и убедитесь, что ни один из серьёзных антивирусов не видит никаких проблем! У Вас что, McAfee? xD
