Unreal Engine Wild Life [Patreon Test Build 2024.08.15] [Adeptus Steve]
Star Citizen still lacks a ton of optimization work which will make requirements higher, and Duke Nukem Forever had more issues affecting how long it took with the side effect of tech creep.
And like I said, try turning down some graphics settings if upgrading hardware isn't available currently. It does make a difference.
You do understand that it's still hacking being done, right? Yes someone might not think and click something suspicious, but that's what the hack relies on: someone not thinking "this is suspicious". Hacking is not someone sitting at a computer typing a bunch of code to get into a mainframe, it's not what Hollywood shows hacking to be. Hacking can be as simple as watching someone enter login info and using it yourself to access their account and whatever it might have access to. So yes, it was still hacked, it's not silly to call it a hack.

Both games had rampant tech creep and insanely long dev times which led to scrapping lots of old content because of incompatibility/not being up to current standards.
I did upgrade recently so I can run the current version of Wild Life with max everything at 60-90 fps. Runs about as well as Cyberpunk. Except Cyberpunk is an extremely dense graphically intensive AAA clusterfuck while Wild Life is a barren test map.
I didn't say the games didn't have tech creep and long dev times. Duke Nukem Forever also had issues of oversight meddling with work, as well as the devs planning for too much and finding they couldn't deliver. Star Citizen has changed into less of a game that just releases and gets updates and is essentially a Steam early access game now that will always be getting closer to a 1.0 without actually reaching it.
Cyberpunk being compared to Wild Life doesn't work, since CDPR is a AAA dev studio with way more people that has worked on a few other AAA games, they have time under their belt, plus recent updates that have made the game run better than it did at launch should be considered. Meanwhile, the dev team for Wild Life is what, maybe 10-20 people, being generous? And they're making something more complex than most porn games you would find while having an actual game behind it (which is the part in active development), and it's on the Unreal Engine instead of the overused Unity Engine, allowing for stuff like the sandbox mode to even be a thing. Optimization steps in game dev also don't usually happen until the end of production, after everything else has been set up and is working.

Well...yes...the goals are listed, so that's what the game is going to be, though your skepticism is understandable in hindsight. Up until not long ago they had the goal of finishing up the sandbox tools, adding scenes etc so they kept to what they said pretty well, therefore I'd trust what the current patreon goals state, for the most part.
Hi all 
I updated one of my maps Pirate Grotto. New lights, a more detailed ship and the first part of the mermaid quest. At the moment, the tavern and the bath are disabled.

I only make the Cyberpunk comparison as an example of how absurd the current hardware demands are for how little this game has. And also because it seems like you're trying to push the idea that it's only people with bad PCs complaining. I have a good PC and I can run the game great now. I've thought that several times through the development of this game and every single time the demands bloated to insane levels and it ended up being nearly unplayable until I upgraded again. This is why I don't believe in the mythical "they'll optimize it later", optimization has never been a priority.
When is end of production? When is everything going to be set up and working? Is it going to take another six years?

Optimization has not been a priority for game developers for at least 10 years. It is enough to see in what condition the games from "AAA Studios" are released." It's not good, but it is.
And to blame an independent game developer on the new U5 engine for poor optimization is at least stupid.

does anyone here have sandbox maps that work on the version UE4 21.10.2022? it is the only version that works for me without problems and that on the highest resolution....UE5 does not work for me
Would be really great from you guys if one still has older maps for my version
