Multicore support

Post by dasbroot »

Path-/AI etc calculations get very slow sometimes. Will there be Multicore support i.e. distribution of calculations over all available cores in the future?

Unfortunately there are no concrete plans to implement this in the near future as far as I am aware.

The engine uses a lockstep model that runs synchronized on all clients. This makes threading hard and dangerous.
