In Response To: Re: Forge Source Code (a disreputable source)

: What limits are these again?

Well, assuming that Pfhorge eventually becomes functional and can remove the poly limit etc., there is still the use of a graphics engine developed when 8MB of VRAM was considered amazing, and many Macs didn't even have graphics processors. In some ways this is a plus, since older computers can still run AO with OpenGL turned off, but every new addition to AO must be grafted onto this older, inefficient game engine. Fog, for example, has to be cludged and even then it still doesn't work properly. I know that even Q3 will eventually be an old game engine, but at least it's a lot better than M2.
