Quick Analysis

Right up front Im going to say just simply amazing. The engine is very awesome. Running with the default settings I experienced absolutely no lag or spikes of any kinda, in any of the levels. I didnt see any noticable bugs when playing with the World Builder for the minute or two I was in it.

However, I did notice when I put SSAO on, how the framerate dramatically dropped. That seems to be the only things droping my framerate at the moment.

Other than that, Great ###### Job guys! Keep up the great work.

Here is my system Specs:

Windows Vista Home Premium
4GB of RAM
500GB HDD
Nvidia Geforce 9600M GT w/ 512MB
2Ghz Dual-Core Processor, Intel Core 2 Duo

What kind of performance drop in FPS did you see with SSAO on? Typically it will drop it about 50%. The SSAO is very fillrate hungry, and it's really had no optimization yet.

it was a drop to about 5 fps when enabled. After the quick little patch, it did help a lot. I notice the Depth of Field drops the FPS quite a bit too.
