It would be an easy fix if CCP could find the problem. It is common knowledge that my cat could code better than CCP so I have full confidence when I say that we could be dealing with this bug for a while yet, most of the CCP programmers seem to have learned to code from using Vtech children's computers. And yes, I am a programmer so I can pass judgement on CCPs failures. If I was that crap at my job then I would be looking for a new job in short order. I bet CCP will be the ones who build that really advanced AI that is meant to protect and save humankind but ends up turning on us and wiping us all out (Skynet).

They have already begun work on this and the early prototype is known as Dust 514, playing the game slowly kills you from the inside out but is has a limited influence as people just turn off the program.

They will get it right . . . SoonTM Lol

I only studied programming for two years myself, and that was a couple of years ago, but still I have to agree.

Even a scrub programmer like me can recognize the poor software design and the obvious cases of superflous scrapcode in Dust 514.

I'd honestly propose to rebuild the entire game from scratch but with a smarter design that facilitates hotfixes and adding new content. But I fear that would only worsen the "Soon TM" statements.

A Massive CCP Combined Effort Carbon engine optimization...

It will only benefit CCP the Corporation as a whole if the engine can be optimized to facilitate DUST on the PS3 and the PS4 in the future. Further Cutting out the royalties being paid to Unreal Engine 3... And optimizing it for what is needed from it.

And Further The World Of Darkness Project CCP has been working on for a decade. Also the starting place of the Carbon engine.

Side note EVE's Merc quarters, Character creation and ship hangers is running off the Carbon engine.

This is DUST 514 on the Carbon engine in 2009.

Why did they ditch the Carbon engine? The game seems to have regressed instead of progressed on Unreal 3! I know the demos only show a very small portion of one map but the game looks more polished and seems to have had more cool features on Carbon, we don't have underbarrel grenade launchers, fighters, commanders, or the ability to move out of our merc quarters. It seems to me like Unreal 3 really messed this game up.

It seems to me like Unreal 3 really messed this game up. Plus, pretty much every game this generation ran off Unreal 3. I remember the "good old days" when every new game basically meant a scratchbuilt engine to go with it. Sure, far from all of them were great, but it prompted original thinking and new programming solutions. Unlike the current generation where basically every game is based on UE3, Frostbite, Havok etc. And just by looking at a game you can pretty much spot which engine it is after a few seconds.
