I wanna see Bethesda attempt to defend themselves on this one

The defense I keep hearing is they turned them off to rework them, which is Bethesda code for 'somethings fucked with the lag monsters'

"So I've heard on the internet that our games can have a few bugs"
Todd your fucking clocks don't even work

The impressive part is, this means they're running on a unix clock? (The clock that predates 1999)

Which is good until like 2019

They're running on the old clock format that predates the 90s

*just like their engine*

@Nic386 This means it's a reverse y2k, it legit happened but, instead of firing nukes it kept them locked up safe

God bless the enclave

Honestly would have been funnier if they constantly crashed the servers with nukes

IT’S A UNIX SYSTEM
I KNOW THIS

Wait

Are you fucking serious

>RUNNING ON THE OLD CLOCK SYSTEM

>that predates y2k

The engine is only from 2011, why would it be using that old a clock?

>from 2011

no bb

The creation engine is, that engine may have been built on even older software tho

It is based on Gamebryo which was initially released first in 03 with an earlier version under the name NetImmerse released in 97

Gamebryo is the core engine, because you can technically open 76 files with the Morrowind mod tools

And the source code for that is from 97 at the earliest

Assuming it reused NetImmeres's

Probably some spaghetti code from 1997 there

Bethesda needs to learn what CryEngine is

Or even Unreal

Either one would do Fallout wonders

OR, they could buck up and make a modern Gamebryo

Because while it is old, it's easier than a poor prozzie to mod and manage with minimal skill floor.

CryEngine would be good, but you have to be trained explicitly in how to use it, Unreal is a lot easier but definitely not as easy to modify as Gamebryo unless they go out of their way to expose as much code as possible.

I.E. - XCOM 2

>Bethesda
>Effort

Lmao

I know, but still

Isn't the newest Unreal engine pretty awesome and easy to work with?

Yes

It's retard friendly

Unreal has made it easier for devs to expose basically every variable

It's just down to devs to provide that transparency

The best games are the ones where literally everything can be modified at will, and nothing is hard coded
