MinorInconvenience posted:Please understand that I'm not trying to defend anyone here. I just want to know if the goals that have been set for this project are feasible with current computing and networking technology to a reasonable person in the industry. A simple game could get 1000 people in the same area, assuming the server is just communicating coordinates and doesn't require much latency. Realtime 3D information? with speed? orientation? How about weapon firing? Not without a seriously heavy duty server, and I think even then a good consumer internet connection would bottleneck before 500 players. Counter Strike and probably most source engine servers take 20 snapshot per second to get the responsiveness required for a high action game, doing that with 1000 players is not realistic with current architecture.

They already can't keep commandos from clipping through drat near everything, now add collision detection for 1000 players, their ships, bullets, cargo containers full of hiding commandos, etc. This is potentially a huge computational bottleneck that CIG will definitely solve with their Top Men when they can't even get a door to function properly.

FYI Its super easy to write a phsyics engine that can effeciently handle collisons between objects moving at walking speeds and relativistic space flight speeds, in a multiplayer game, with 1000 concurrent users. No one did yet because they lacked Chris's vision. edit: also factor in testing for objects that range from human size to moon sized Nicholas fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Apr 24, 2017 |

MinorInconvenience posted:But this isn't quite accurate, correct? If I understand what Croberts is trying to do, they want to make it so that the 20 people on a ship do not directly interact with anything except the ship and themselves. Other ships in the area (with their own multiple crew members) will only receive updates about what the ship is doing, not the folks inside. Thus reducing server load and communications issues (or at least splitting it between clients and the server handling the inside the ship and clients and a server handling just the ships). Or am I missing something that either makes this technologically impossible or something that other games do, in fact, accomplish already? This kind of instance inception probably exists sometime in the future along with realistic AI which coincidentally Chris also wants to harness for his game. I don't think either of these are possible with CryEngine. Can you run two different maps at the same time and then kill everyone on map2 when ship is blown up on map1? Probably. If characters jump out of the ship can you reliably put them on map1? Maybe with enough engineering. Can you hull breach the ship and have players on map2 look out of the hole and wave to everyone on map1? Hell no. Not this decade. What CIG has right now is a few different CryEngine maps dressed up to look like the beginnings of an MMO. The more they dress it up without building actual persistent universe features, the more believable Derek's assertion becomes about them knowingly running a scam.

big nipples big life posted:Have the rolling layoffs started yet? Out of all the claims to challenge (and there is always at least one per day), this one actually has circumstantial evidence. 14 jobs posted on April 24th. That's 25% of the total jobs advertised at CIG. April 24th vacancies represent 50% of the overall posted Engineering jobs. That's a big spike one week after the DSmart prediction.
