Newer new sona design soon Sneak peek Hair simplify

Marcus Wassmer (Epic Games EVP) talks about what AI has done for Fortnite & UE so far, and why they're more worried about moving too slowly than about AI skepticism He says it almost completely got rid of a type of cooking bug they've been fighting for a decade, and together with faster shader compression it should make update sizes way smaller They also rewrote a big part of the DirectX 12 renderer in about a week, when he expected it to take one engineer 3-6 weeks. He says it came out with better CPU performance & fewer bugs He says Fortnite now has automatic monitoring for PC crashes that finds driver & hardware problems that used to take months to track down, and it can generate fixes for them too He also says the engine should get a lot more modular now, since AI can handle/refactor thousands of files that were way too much to do by hand [via This Week in Videogames]
