Funcom continues to upgrade its massively multiplayer online game, adding a server-side NVIDIA PhysX update that promises to provide major performance improvements.

 

The firm has announced today that they are updating their proprietary Dreamworld 2.5 engine to incorporate the server-side NVIDIA PhysX technology to Age of Conan - Hyborian Adventures, the first game to incorporate the said technology. This unique implementation into the Dreamworld engine will result in more than a doubling in the speed-of in-game physics processing versus traditional client-side PhysX technology that promises to deliver a more realistic collision effects within the online gaming environments.

"We are excited to be working closely with NVIDIA to integrate PhysX technology into our Dreamworld 2.5 engine," said Rui Casais, Chief Technology Officer at Funcom. "Server-side collision using PhysX will allow us to add a new level of realism to our online worlds, and we look forward to implementing other enhancements as well, including NVIDIA APEX clothing and destruction, to make our games even more interactive and immersive."

Recently, Funcom also introduced an entirely rewritten render engine to the game.

"We are also proud to have launched  a fully rewritten render engine for ‘Age of Conan’, yielding major performance increase on high-end systems and enabling several new visual features for lower end machines”, said Casias. “We have been collaborating closely with NVIDIA in continuously improving the quality of the Dreamworld Render engine, resulting in fully new effects such as shader-based anti-aliasing techniques now being implemented in ‘Age of Conan’. The launch of the new engine is a major milestone towards the high requirements for visual performance in virtual adventures required for ‘The Secret World’."
