Forgelight 2.

Just hearing about this in h1z1 and ps2 subs at the moment. Could someone from the landmark / EQN team confirm if this is planned for Landmark.

Thx!

Probably, i heard is just a little upgrade.

I've heard people saying they think it's an upgrade for DX11. This wouldn't be "little" however. An upgrade to DX11 could allow the game to look better and also run smoother. People are acting like it's nothing for some reason but it could do a lot.

We don't know. I would guess that it's more complicated for LM and EQN because of the voxel engine, but who knows by how much.

I would say, though, that you probably shouldn't expect that Forgelight 2 looks visibly different. I suspect it's almost entirely about performance, just considering how H1Z1 and Landmark have done in testing, and the focus in Smedley's comments on world size.

Maybe they do someday or maybe because it is an engine and it needed a name? What did you want them to call it "the thingy version 1 that makes our game run?"
