nVidia announced a few days ago that RTX and DLSS plugins are now available for UE 4.25 & 4.26 https://news.developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-dlss-and-reflex-now-available-for-unreal-engine-4-26/ Can we expect TSW 2 to use them soon or at all?
It has nothing to do with TSW2 working with the drivers it was explained that it's Unreal Engine and if it will accept those drivers.
While i would love to see RTX and DLSS support , i doubt it will ever happen due to it not been a cross platform. The consoles even the next gen ones are not exactly strong around ray tracing. Its a shame as lighting like sound is a major issue in TSW/2 always has been, UE4 handles light horribly from my experience with dynamic skylight having no option to allow for occlusion of skylights causes massive issues around tunnels and can also be seen in cab with skylight casting through the roof ect. There are work arounds however none are fool proof and all have pros and cons to there implementation. Would also love to see DLSS 2.0 support as frankly UE4s AA handling is utter garbage thanks to its render. That wont change epic has been slow on really improving the way TAA functions so been able to bypass it with DLSS would be a god send, not only does it provided far superior image quality but it also offers far more performance and that's not just me spouting Nvidia marketing.
I played the medium with ray tracing on and I ended up clicking a PowerPoint presentation on a 2080ti. I think rtx would bend this game over and cause more negative feedback than it’s worth
Well, they could start with DLSS to bring the fps up and then later introduce RTX. Even if they cancel one another in terms of fps it would still be a win. I have only tried BF 5 with RTX but EA's implementation is in beta. It wasn't too bad but you could feel the loss of smoothness.
Using Dynamic Lighting would be a start. There’s not a hope in hell of RTX when the game (to the best of my knowledge) doesn’t even use that.
Well, the tech it's here now. I'm sure they will find good excuses why it doesn't work for their game. One of them it's because "We are not Microsoft", Sam's favorite.
