In a doom game ray tracing should not be used for registering hits, since most if not all of the projectiles are visible and fly slower than light.

Yes, but the tech has not advanced that much since then. Also the game probably doesn't look twice as good.

Tbh. the game needing 8 cores is the most outrageous of the list, but the ray tracing is a close second, since that could easily be toggleable.

I'll chime in for the other commenter.

Having ray tracing be "a minimum requirement" is batshit insane. Just make it an option and don't require it for everyone.

Ray tracing is not that widely available, so you shouldn't just force it onto your whole player base.

And while this might not sound like an optimization thing, it really looks like they couldn't be bothered to develop their game with and without the ray tracing features.

Edit: looking more into the numbers, they are all insane.

  • 8 cores with 16 threads as minimum?
  • 16GB RAM?
  • and a 100GB SSD again?

I don't really play AAA titles nowadays, but this is aweful and far from optimized. Doom 2016 needed half of that for every single metric!

Please note, that this article is from December 2024. So Postillion knew it again, before it happened.

Hearing it like that makes it even sadder, because it shows in an easy way that people discriminate against each other without even being good off themselves.

As someone who does exactly that right now. Yes.

You need a Linux machine in a separate network with separate firewall rules and the developer has to devote a bit of their time to managing that machine.
It can even be centrally managed, if you have the capacity.

But why would you want that? To secure your shit while allowing the devs to to what they like to their equipment.

I saw no button.
Watched the video again and man he stayed relatively calm. I have no idea wtf is wrong with y'all calling him a Karen...

Yes, but as a customer, who is probably driving in circles for a while now and needs to catch a flight, I would want this fixed right now.

I mean who am I going to ask to stop the car otherwise? How can you be so numb? Of course it's not the CS-reps fault, but the customer is completely in the right to react like that in a stressy situation when they have no one else to help them?

Yeah but 1000 kids could have gotten a mild fever if he didn't! ^/s^

They get "Ram Ranch" not more, not less.

It's a virtual server, so not really a hardware server, but no container either. It's when multiple servers share RAM, CPU and other things on a big cluster, but each behaves like a normal server. The 5€ in this case even includes the domain. So it's more like 3-4€.
