Pedestrians shown on map anyone?

The tank doesn't really open from the sides, if that is what you're expecting. It's already open from the top, so what you have to do is to jump inside using powerups. You'll notice that the inner moving part works as a lift; when it goes down as part of its cycle, you are able to collect the poweru...

Why is the city level not set at near dusk or night.. it would look far better

Sorry if I wasn't precise enough; by "animating the lighting", I meant the animating lighting effect they have on their immediate surroundings, so that, for example, a flickering neon sign would accordingly cast a flickering light on the scene, instead of a simple, static light of matching color. An...

Why is the city level not set at near dusk or night.. it would look far better

It may be quick to modify the instanced street lights as they are probably using shared settings, but especially the city maps contain a lot of unique light sources. There are various neon signs, traffic lights, the futuristic directional signs, etc. In addition to the usual color, intensity and rad...

Really? It's a big bummer if that's their intention, as the limited responsiveness in steering is the single biggest peeve of mine in the game at the moment.

I'm familiar with the slow steering issue you describe. The steering wheels of the cars will not turn instantly to accurately reflect your input; instead, the rate at which they turn seems to be capped at the moment. One exception to this is centering the controller, which makes the steering wheels ...

Of course one option would be to hide the powerups you don't currently have, and grouping the existing ones together at the center of the screen.

Ah, of course, makes sense. After all, the barrel I mentioned that gives you the "Peds on map" powerup, will always do so.

By the way. To clarify in case anyone got confused; by "light orange barrels", I meant the fatter ones, not the thinner gas cylinder types.

Not sure if that's it; I've had it set the way you describe since the beta launched, and I've experienced these "Nvidia crashes" anyway.

From my experiences, I'd say the FoV value you choose is a compromise of awareness (opponents) vs precision.
