update Sandbox Remastered

[RIDDLER_8 5,553]

Its such a great thing to see a Paladin player on the new Sandbox map.

This is the first Paladin player that I have seen on the new Sandbox map.

[RIDDLER_8 5,553]

This Sandbox remastered map looks so nice that I have decided to take two more pictures. Here it is in full glance:

Those shipping containers looks dazzlingly colorful. I really like that. I also like the vegetation on the remastered version of the Sandbox map. However, it would be nicer if developers made the vegetation patches thicker with more trees for campers such as Shaft players to that they can comfortably hide from enemies. More camouflaging vegetation is required in the patches where the pre-existing vegetation is located so that campers can easily hide to trick their enemies. Please add more thicker vegetation on the patches of pre-existing vegetation to make this Sandbox map better.

In addition to what I have requested above, please make the middle platform higher and add more space onto the outer edges of the Sandbox map so that players can manage to play comfortably and hide in bushes and trees whenever they need. Please consider on doing that as well.

Lets talk about the performance on the map. My PC had:Nvidia Gforce GT 740 with 2.0 GB, Proccesor,i5 4460 with 3.2GHz and 16 GRAM. 

The map dones not use so mutch ram , i mean with maximum 8 GRAM at full. 

LAG and LOW FPS:Because of Dynamic Shadows there a really low fps(like 50fps) but the problem is that there is lag too and the tank can't be controlled really well.

LAG and LOW FPS:Antistropic Filtering is causing a lot of lag and low fps, expecially on x16,i don't think this is so normal here.So applying this without shadows i get around 55 FPS but problem is aggain the lag.

This to combined give me a bad lag and a fps arpund 50.

Another think that drains the power of gpu is the outside of play zone bushes ,that are more there then in the inside of the map.Please make them a fake 3d or at leas a really good looking 2d.

Fog: After my preferances i d sugest to make the fog a little thicker and closer to the playing zone. It doez not affect so mutch the fps or power .(1-2 fps decrease ,but still at constant 60 fps)

Dynamic lights: Doez not affect so mutch the fps or power (2-3 fps decrease, but still at constant 60 fps)

Dynamic particles and dust do not affect performance mutch.

 

My sugestions: Autside trees are draining the power of pc,especially that they don't have any purpose just for visual,and should be lowered as number or quality.

                          Un-moovable shadows(walls,building, etc) should be drawn on the ground to lower a bit the graphic card usage.(forgot how is this metod called) or at least lower the quality of them and by that i mean to to making them an exact representation of the proection of the building,just a large enought shadown that give us the impresion that is the building shadown. 

                           

Platying on this map, my processor didn't even struggeled so mutch at full graphics(just around 30%),but the GPU was dying.

Just my experience and opinions on sandbox. Not really an idea, just not sure where to get feedback to the developers. Feel free to move this post to wherever it is supposed to go.

1. Too leafy - all the trees makes it hard to see

2. Too saturated - to much colour and saturation

3. Very Laggy (may be just for me but usually tanks is perfectly smooth

4. Other than that, I love it!

PAY ATTENTION!

 

The map is still under development and has not been optimized, so you may encounter FPS drops. We understand this and still ask you to play this mode as actively as possible and invite your friends.

 

The map is only available in the PC version of the game. We still need to optimize the map to let mobile players enjoy playing on it.

the map is fine but the colours are too bright and in your face . they need to be tone down . the black with green is over powering to see. where as the neon box's and other items  just don't fit in with the colours .

1. I guess they will add an option to disable 3D trees

2. Tanki X had option in the settings to set desired saturation value, I think it's a good idea to add it to TO as well. (I prefer a more saturated look)

3. The map has not been optimized yet. If I am correct, None of the 3D objects have LOD's and you can't turn off 3D bushes in settings.

The map looks fine. It does not have the rugged style of the old Tanki, instead it looks "futuristic" and more modern, appealing to a younger audience.

Imho, Tanki should always keep its own charm and characteristic look, if you start making maps all generic-mobile-game looking, you will just blend in with all the other mobile games instead of standing out as your own unique product.

The map is not like this to me, did you put a low resolution ? You can check on youtube, it is a totally different visualing than this

Thank you , we found out that I have to go into settings to change my graphics. Or I have to go buy a new graphic card to see if either one will help .

I agree with you folks that you are having performance issues on this map. The new Sandbox map is in the process of being finalized so keep posting any issues you are having on this map and developers will take appropriate actions to fix any issues you are currently having on the remastered Sandbox map. Posting images will help, so make sure that you post images that released to visual glitches.

Please keep in mind that SSDs help speed up game performance when playing games, including Tanki Online. The more you play on the remastered Sandbox map, the more data developers can collect to take necessary action to fine tune and finalize the work on this new Sandbox map, so keep playing for as long as you dare play.

 

As you can see from the two following images, the remastered Sandbox map does not have a path that is wide enough to have enough space to move around. As an example, the distance from the edge of the middle platform to the outer squarish edge of the map can be increased.

Another thing that the remastered Sandbox map needs is more vegetation in the corners of the map with taller trees and thicker bushes like in Tanki X so that players can properly hide and camouflage themselves using any hull in the bushes to stay safe from enemies. I tried to hide in the bushes multiple times, but that does not work because enemies can still find me. Please add thicker bushes and taller trees. More trees and bushes can be added to the corners of this remastered Sandbox map.

Spoiler

It is very important that developers listen to me so that when the remastered Sandbox map is complete, this map will be much better for gameplay. Improved graphics quality, more space on the map, as well as a higher middle platform, all count for a much better version of the remastered Sandbox map. Please do all the changes and improvements that I have requested.

Thank you.

 

I would like to have more remastered TDM Sandbox games after this event ends tonight. Please add this event back for Halloween.

Spoiler

Sandbox TDM as a special game mode is amazing. I like to jump and collect gold boxes with my hopper hull. The dazzlingly amazing cool graphics of this map combined with the intense crazy action is such an amazing combination of both, which makes this special game mode the very best.

CTF would be better, but in a better Sandbox prototype.

And maybe you should start asking for the Riddler paint, since the new Batman movie is coming.

Sorry Tanki Forum.

[RIDDLER_8 5,553]

Yes, true. We need a Riddler paint since the new Batman movie is coming out soon.

This remastered Sandbox map looks so good that I cannot resist taking snapshots of its amazing graphics. Still there is room for improvements, like I suggested above.

You folks need to keep on taking screenshots before server update.

The platform is too low. Please raise it up higher.

why are the lines in the shipping containers so thick and dark?

[RIDDLER_8 5,553]

I have managed to take two gold boxes before server update:

That is a miracle.

[RIDDLER_8 5,553]

I have checked in pro battles and the Sandbox remastered map is still available in pro battles only. It has been pulled from the matchmaking system now, and is undergoing some tweaks and improvements to this map. Now, we shall see the truth when this map is officially released as a completed map in both the matchmaking system and in pro battles.

[RIDDLER_8 5,553]

The new remastered Sandbox map is accessible in pro battles. Check for yourself.

Feels like you are in a different dimension! 

[NikmanGT 4,374]

I am just keenly waiting for the optimized and final version of remastered Sandbox to be released soon, so i can play it on my system without any lags or errors

It turns out that my graphic card is ok . what is happened was I have tanki on my browser and on the desk top. the browser is allowing me to play in the sandbox game in normal colours. but the desk top is fine. only issue has been on going with the desk top is that it wont allow me to save my account passwords or account. every time I need to use those  accounts I have to re\enter in  my passwords to go and battle. but If I use the browser I can battle and save passwords but have issues with the new map.

so in the end I now have to remove both tanki locations and reload to have them both upgraded.. if any of this makes sense ..lol

If you look closely the containers contain two modules of some sort that seem like they can be slid out from the main container body. Those lines you mention are not actually lines but gaps between the main container body and those modules.

Hi guys,
I am here to write my opinion about this remastered Sandbox map.
So, when I entered into this battle, I had no lags at the first 5 minutes, then my FPS dropped down around to 10 which was quite constant, and it became more and more laggy as I stayed there more time...
Whenever I didn't look towards teammates or enemies, I was not lagging, but when for example, a gold box/container dropped, I became laggy so fast. 
I had to use my camera angle like looking down from the tallest view from the ground not to laggy.
I suggest making able to switch to original version of Sandbox map, because it has too much details.
On mobile, I didn't have FPS and PING issues, it worked kinda well. It was only super messed up, nothing special.
Leaving maps were cost at least 5 seconds, and first spawning on the map took significantly more time.
I am glad that you began with a small map apart from this.
