My friends and I usually do an annual factory, starting late December and usually put about 400 hours into it each time. (Obligatory power plant screenshot provided) We, may have a problem. That aside, this year is interesting - no big release, no big update, except for U8.
We all pretty much stopped right around U8, and when it first came out it looked gorgeous, but everything broke in our huge factory pretty much instantly. I’ve poked my head in a couple of times, and from what I can tell Unreal 5 is amazingly performant, we went from 24ish FPS to 60+ in our final version, and things like train “rubber banding” from our server seems to be lessened.
But I want to know, as we’re looking towards it hitting stable, how are all of you doing with Update 8? How are dedicated servers? Is it best to start a new save with the major update?
It was the most efficient way
