UE4 actually. It's funny how similar both engines look when at full detail settings. The underwater color refraction looks almost identical to cryengines implementation.

It's a custom renderer which explains why there's a lot of optimisation to be done that would otherwise already be included in the basic UE4 renderers.

It's interesting that it is UE4 considering they are doing some funky screen space reflections that by default UE4 does better. They really don't seem to be leveraging the assets of UE. In other news youse' have forced me to try this game. I hope I can find some low ping server for Australian.

The fact that they are rendering water under all terrain could be the cause of the lag.



The general way water is done is you have a water plane follow the character around which deforms and reacts to the local environment. Since the plane is always the same size and always present the cost is constant. Sure, you could save frames when on land, but then you'd still lag at the waters edge. This is typical of games.

I can't really work out why the game would run poor. Maybe they just have stupid detail models.

Goons are in the process of knocking out a T Rex right now. We have it trapped inside our base.

Massive amounts of slingshots and stones are being thrown.

EDIT: T Rex is down. Taming in progress.

Please report back in four hours where it drowns a few minutes after taming.

edit: This is not a joke. The number one leading cause of death of T-Rex's is drowning. Don't let safety sink.

Had to request a refund. The games runs just incredibly poorly on my computer which is one of them silly high spec things. Even with tiny resolution and settings all turned down. It is amazing what they have achieved here.
