Forge Team, Thank you

  • > - Fixed issues with “generating lighting” on Tidal.“For Forge our focus was fixing the light bake (generating lighting) issue on Tidal. Ironically enough, the issue arose in relation to a change we made in how we structure the map internally – a change that we thought would actually optimize the map a bit more. Unfortunately, it actually ended up causing everything in the sky box to re-light bake unnecessarily, resulting in drastically increased bake times. This new hotfix should address these issues and immediately improve players’ Forging experience on Tidal.

Here are my main take-aways from this.It’s short, but I got a lot from it…

  • This issue was fixed. Thank god. - They are actively trying to make the game run smoother for everyone by optimizing everything better - When it doesn’t go as planned they don’t just fix it and move on. They owned up to it. Something I’m sure a lot of Destiny fans would appreciate.

If there is one thing in this game done right, it’s Forge. The Forge Team is amazing.
