jaw dropping :>

Yeah indeed, it looks amazing!

Hello everyone!

I've submitted another build (we're at version 5 now!).
The most notable changes:

v5
- Added User Accounts.
- Added feedback right after benchmarks ends.
- You can view stats for all previously run benchmarks, locally and globally (global disabled for now).
- Your resolution and graphics preferences are saved and loaded.
- Added another kind of loading (visually), it randomly selects one after starting. I plan on adding one completely different kind of loading for each release.
- Improved graphics quality for low and medium.
- Added skybox texture (By Heiko Irrgang from http://www.93i.de).
- Increased performance dramatically for High and Ultra (disabled tessellation on terrain and improved tessellation distance on objects).
- Changed world loading type from STREAM to FULL to avoid background-loading stutters during play.
- Fixed not being able to run the benchmark more than once.
- Tweaked main menu GUI a bit.
- Reduced packaged size + memory usage.
- Added normal maps to rocks.

Global statistics (comparing with other people) are disabled for now, sorry for that! I need a server to test (and maintain) this, and I don't have that yet.. It will come in the near future though.

Here is the download (x64)
Let me know if there is any need for a 32 bit version!

Enjoy!

I'm unable to unpack this download file without errors and the executable appears corrupted. Have tried downloading twice now. Is any one else experiencing issues?

Works for me.

for me too

Pixel Perfect: I packed it with 7zip (The absolute best compressing tool). What did you use to unpack?

Shouldn't matter unless there is something wrong with his installation, I used winrar to unpack as I always do as winrar supports more formats.

Looks like it's something at my end then. I used WinRAR to unpack, never had an issue with it before. It is a very old version though.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I'll try something else

[EDIT] Downloaded 7z tool and extracted it without issue.

Great scenes Tottel! In Ultra quality I got around 10-15 FPS with my current video card. Curious to see the difference when I receive my new card!

This is a really useful tool now ... great job

Hey, those are my stats.
Core 2 Quad Q6600, ATI 7800 Series
Sunset
Low 22-48
Medium 18-31
Ultra 16-29

Indeed it's a very beautiful benchmark and among the best sceneries i've seen on the engine.
One thing that i noticed is that in free roam there is a slight camera-character jittering and a slight offset in the two positions. This is getting amplified when the character moves faster for example after a jump bounce.
You might wanna check if you are updating/changing the character position after you place the camera at the head bone.

Tested this awesome version.

Mode=Ultra
Average FPS = 45 (on both cloudy and sunny)
CPU = i7-4700K 4GHz
GPU = GTX980
RAM = 16GB
OS = Windows 10
Res = 1920x1080

My god, you guys have beefy PCs ( looking at you Roland ). Seems like I will have to add a new "Overkill" graphic option for you.

Thanks a lot for testing and the nice feedback!

@Georgatos: I will check into the camera issue, thanks!

Very impressive, and useful!

Not sure why maximums remain fixed ?
I wonder what impact vertex displacement of the water surface would make on the performance?
