We want to share some thoughts with you about the beta and the plans we have for the upcoming weeks. In this regard, I want to thank everyone who takes part in the beta and helps us providing a better game.
We have done some significant progress since Closed Beta, yet there are still issues that need to be solved. You might have noticed that the bug fixing lost a little bit of pace in the last 1-2 weeks. This is due to the fact that we were entirely reworking the internal error log system to support structured exception handling, which allows us to create minidumps of your crashes for much easier and faster bug fixing. On top of that we also support Steamworks Error Reporting that anonymously and automatically stores and uploads minidumps when a crash occurs. Even if no minidump was created, we still get a report every time a user crashes. This way we can clearly identify the biggest and most common issues and solve them more rapidly in the future, including rather rare issues.
Why have we experienced so many issues in first place? This is because many core aspects of the engine have been changed or updated to fit modern hardware requirements and technology. While the game looks similar to other MoW games, the backend is very different. Multi-core support, updated shader model, updated material rendering, Steamworks and many more things were admittedly too ambitious for the time we had. None the less, we think those changes were important as you deserve to finally get a serious engine upgrade. These improvements might not show off right now, but they definitely will be in the future.
We are rather pleased with the Singleplayer component, but the Multiplayer is undoubtedly not good enough, especially not the performance. Here we are working on a new thread manager to get the Multiplayer performance to a similar level like you have in Singleplayer. We should be able to present it to you later next week. We are also working on a new background resource loading/managing system which affects many parts of the engine and therefore it takes a while to complete. It should enable us to make better use of the new graphics features without such a hit on performance.
Also we have plans to update to DirectX10 and 64bit after the game has been released, which will allow us to further improve performance and stability. We also consider OpenGL and controller support for SteamOS. While quite likely, these are all subject to change.
Lastly, we will release the game when it reaches the quality standards we have. Should we need to further postpone the game, we will provide you additional content for the beta to make the waiting shorter. Again, we want to thank you for your support and we are working very hard to provide you the best possible Men of War experience to date! :)
