HumanComplex.1648 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 With the efforts involved in getting gw2 ported to dx11 via bgfx, is there any talk of looking into the newly released DirectStorage from Microsoft and its potential impact on load times?

Khisanth.2948 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Heh I was saying to a friend the other day that nothing is ever fast enough. Going from a 1minute load time to 10seconds felt great but now 10seconds still feel too slow. The usefulness of this is doubtful for an online game. A system is only as fast as its slowest part. In this case it will be the network. From reading https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/directstorage-is-coming-to-pc/ it doesn't look like it will bring much benefit to GW2. There is also the problem of making a NVMe drive a requirement or having to maintain two different storage handling systems for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
