I get the distinct feeling they used some of the shitty code from EQ2 as a foundation for this engine. There's no reason this game should hammer our systems like it does.

In other news, finally got all my tools and stuff crafted and started experimenting with the build tools. Loving it. Like how I can build with dirt/rock and use the paint tool for whatever surface texture I want. Just getting started but I have some ideas I can't wait to try out. I think I'm addicted.

Isn't it the ps2 engine with voxel building tools tacked on? Really not liking the art style either.

It ran WAY better for me in alpha. Since the beta client I've been stuttering and crashing on zone almost all the time.

I don't know the specifics. What I do know is companies will often re-use in house assets to save on dev time when devoloping "new" software. When I say "foundation" I am referring to code that was probably transferred over to provide certain functionality's that they needed, rather then writing new code. Because I remember EQ2 behaving very similar. My system isn't top of the line, but it's pretty fucking decent, and this game shouldn't be using 100% of my damn resources.

I remember hearing that the alpha engine was ''not optimized yet" and still contained "debugging code." That could possibly still be the case.

In the future, please assume that most people on this board are familiar with basic industry standard practices.

I know it uses Forgelight, dumbass. I didn't bother to read up on every detail of the engine, I have better things to do. The simple fact is that Landmark has the same resource hogging problems as EQ2, and I doubt that has anything to do with Forgelight. Sure, it will be further optimized before launch and I'm certain that will help, like it helped EQ2.

The game performs leaps and bounds better for me since alpha during gameplay, but changing islands can be a painful experience now.

Anyway, considering the amount of change we've seen since the start, I have a great deal of confidence in this game.

It's running perfectly fine for me. Steady 50 fps and no real loading lag beside when you first enter an island. Game is sitting around 3g Ram use and 33%-ish processor use spread across 8 processors.

Or you running on Ultra? And if so, what's your vid card?

Here's my current project with reference. Attempting to make the tower from Tangled. Right now Im working on the base which is nearly 1.5 claims high. I will stack a 3rd claim on top. The main tower structure will sit atop the base and also be ~1.5 claims high. It's already really high with what's built so far! It's kinda huge actually... Need more stone.. lots more.....

The tower doesn't render very good from a distance. The top even looks distorted when viewing from the ground.

Cool.

Is it the screenshot or are you claims actually tall/narrow?
I really need to watch some vids to figure out stuff not expressly told in game. haha.

From my experience with PS2 and Forgelight, it really likes running on Intel CPU and AMD GPU's. I always hear problems from people with Nvidia, and worse with AMD gpu's. No idea what that means for Forgelight on PS4.

Having things set on Ultra tend to lead to choppiness and client crashing. If not now then in future patches. Aim for medium-high.

I have 2x7970's/i7[email protected]/* <![CDATA[ */!function(t,e,r,n,c,a,p){try{t=document.currentScript||function(){for(t=document.getElementsByTagName('script'),e=t.length;e--;)if(t[e].getAttribute('data-cfhash'))return t[e]}();if(t&&(c=t.previousSibling)){p=t.parentNode;if(a=c.getAttribute('data-cfemail')){for(e='',r='0x'+a.substr(0,2)|0,n=2;a.length-n;n+=2)e+='%'+('0'+('0x'+a.substr(n,2)^r).toString(16)).slice(-2);p.replaceChild(document.createTextNode(decodeURIComponent(e)),c)}p.removeChild(t)}}catch(u){}}()/* ]]> */, everything on ultra/high, 1080p reso, GQ set to Medium (higher GQ makes things foggy/fuzzy on AMD GPUs), get about 30fps.

Claims are rectangular... I believe they are like 70Wx70Lx100H? I can't remember exactly.

I am running a 660, and an i5. Nearly the same settings, except textures are lowered to high, and shadows are low, get steady 60fps. I also have my GQ set to medium, which seems to keep it from crashing as well as not taking up as many resources. Thing is, GQ changes something(s) that aren't in the advanced video options. I'd like to know what they are, and hope they get put in eventually.
