There are 2801 alpha keys + the number of people that backed on the webshop before it was removed, which would probably be a little over 3000 keys. The rest were all beta and below.
pls release soon my backlog isn't gonna last much longer
aa okey :)
When you wake up and get that email
Unfortunately I check some of the new games made with Unreal Engine 4 on gamegpu.com (where they made a cores test) and the results are the same in terms of cores using (1 core work at 80/90/100) and in terms of performance depends on the game (for example Hellblade and Gears of War 4) runs decently because they are mainly "closed" but if you take Playerunknown's Battlegrounds or Squad (that count a large number of player on a big map) the results are

for comparison.
the witcher 3 with a homemade engine have a good use of CPU:

and also crysis 3 (that is 4 years old):

Actually on Squad is a bad situation in my opinion, people continue to open 40vs.40 servers because the idea of mass play are exciting but the performance issued (even on high-end PC) are the team says that once improved the animation system the things should get better but I think that if the game ask a lot of resources and the engine don't use all the PC resources things will not get a lot better than now.
This game share different things with Squad (new team, massive battle, same engine) but even if I had some bad feeling in general I have a good feeling for this game for a few reasons:
Welcome to the new era of PC games where new game using 1 core at 100 % and the other at 20 % (maximum 40%):

and game from 2013 run like this:

But, as I write to Carlo_Mano, this game share different things with Squad (new team, massive battle, same engine) but even if I had some bad feeling in general I have a good feeling for this game for a few reasons:
on Squad on a 25vs.25 player server (a good server) I could stay on 75/80 FPS
For better understanding, my rig is:
CPU: I5 -5820k stock clocks
GPU: ASUS 980 Ti Strix
RAM: 32GB DDR4
Res: 1920x1080
I guess well have to ask the devs, because the UE4 threaded optimisation relies a lot on the coding :/
I too enjoy the goedendag.
What do you say we form a 2 man formation and slaughter some French nobility?
We can all cross the finger but I don't think devs could do a lot regarding this problem, of course I don't know they're ability with coding and programming but it seems that is a problem that start from engine itself.
In fact, even Unreal Tournament and Paragon (that are made by the creator of Unreal Engine 4, Epic Games) don't use all the core equally (or it's better to say, they don't do the parallelism ?):
http://gamegpu.com/action-/-fps-/-tps/unreal-tournament-test-gpu.html
http://gamegpu.com/mmorpg-/-%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%BD-%D0%B8%D0%B3%D1%80%D1%8B/paragon-test-gpu
but, even with that limit it seems that those games (I try Unreal Tournament free version but not Paragon) run "well" in FPS terms (of course they can run better if they use all the PC resource, especially on low/medium machine maybe).
To the people that read this:
I bought the Mercenary key (alpha) and I still believe in this project (more than I believed in Deliverance kingdom come, as a backer that ask a refund after understanding that the game was technically consoles oriented and PC gamers are always a good way to raise money, http://i.imgur.com/So6wnDM.jpg?1);
If you have a medium machine and you get a low amount of FPS don't listen immediatly to people who say "you need to upgrade your rig" or "you need to overclock it", first check if all the game you have runs bad, then check if you have made a correct installation, then wait for at least 3 updates; UE4 games receive benefit form high clock CPU, it's true, but there is a limit also to overclock and it's benefit (besides the fact that you don't know how good is your CPU so maybe you can't overclock it over a frequency).
I don't think delays is a problem, PC market is full of mediocre games released before the time, I think they call it AAA games.
Especially delays of some weeks, calm down please;
Don't blame at first the dev's for shit performance (if this should occur);
To the dev's that read this:
I Hear this for every fucking time they delay. But the thing is they LITERALLY delay all the dates they've set. Personally I would had liked to know before we all got super excited and planned for it
I want to point out they have not set a single date. They have only given estimations and warned they may not be accurate.
What dates
Wow good thing I have an i7 7700k with the best single core performance on the market
This is good enough.
For comparison on 40vs.40 player server on a 3.1 km² map.

HOW YOU MEAN DELAY?! we have fking paid 55euros, about 30more euros than normaly to play it more early and now you are gonne delay it? that is scam, we paid alot money to get it that date, you have no fking right to delay the release of alpha. THIS IS SCAM
Dude relax you didn't pay for an August release (in fact you didnt pay anything, you backed)
You are angry because you have misunderstood the situation. You did not pay to play the game early. You donated. The developers must delay it because they need more time to create it. It is not that the game is finished but the developers are too lazy to release it.
What date
