Glad to hear the work has begun to bear fruit! Thanks for all you're doing trying to solve these issues! As good as it is to hear that some problems have been solved, the one that affects me still has not; is there any news on the View-Master™ style cut scenes? My in-game FPS doesn't seem to have suffered in BL (although the lighting is a bit odd; some places have **way** too much bloom, ship engine effects kind of come and go), but for me the big thing is that I'm now missing the entire campaign story on my second character because cut scenes are inoperable; if allowed to run without hitting ESC to skip them, I am thrown either to the title screen with a message about the game becoming de-synced, or crashed right out to the desktop. I posted my DXDiag last month when this all started; I'm sure that initial pastebin has expired. Would it be worthwhile/useful to repost? And truly -- I know that it seems like all we do is complain. It's only because we want to enjoy your game to the fullest. Despite all the grumbling and negativity on the surface, deep down we do appreciate all the work and effort put into helping us out. Thanks again!
