Engine upgrade and DX12 coming to ETS2 and ATS!

Hype!!

And, yes. I know it's a YouTube video that may be false, but it did show footage from SCS's last stream. :D

EDIT: Found the original source with the timestamp 48:39 here:

I wouldn't trust this youtuber, I've seen him posting a lot of lies in the past, only to get more views.
The smallest details always make the biggest difference.

Well, I did mention that he has shown footage from SCS's last stream, so basically, he didn't tell a single lie. The only thing I'm only skeptical of was when they mentioned when to expect this change to happen at the end.

They never gave any promises about the timeline. They just said they are working on it.

The one thing they said though is about the XF.

So whats the deal here?
DX12 if you have Windows 10, DX11 as fallback on older OS?

Engine upgrade: More features and more optimized usage of anything else in the game.

DX12: More efficient usage on CPU and GPU and possibly better graphics.

It will be a great improvement if SCS goes multi core

SCS needs and will port the code to full multi-core support, eventually. They know it better than all of us how much they need it and from so many time ago.

And there's no point to move to DX12 without being multi-core because only going multi-core one can leverage the real big performance improvements DX12 offers.

Anyway, if I was Pavel, I would had not talked about that at all. They can't give time estimations for such change and it will probably be no sooner than 2023. In the meantime, every week, one fre***** anxious player is going to smash them "when DX12? when? when? when?" And in a few months this forums is going to be filled with people moaning "you promised us DX12!!!" complains.

As like with anything they had announced with so many time before and without timeline. I would had expected that Pavel had learned the lesson already: Trolls and complainers must not be feed for the sake of one's own mental health.

^I agree. But so far, I haven't noticed anyone get hyped about DX12 and the new engine upgrade just yet, except myself. (Mind you, the engine upgrade is STILL Prism3D but will probably get some new capabilities.)

Nobody can tell you anything about it. Those who know about it aren't allowed to talk. And those who talk know nothing.
