When is Valve's multi core patch getting released?

Borden · 7 Oct 2007 at 16:44

I though this would have been out by now. The rumour was that it will be out by the time Ep 2 is launched, does this mean that it's out in a few days or so?

I just got a quad core so i'm a bit excited to see how much of an improvement this patch gives me, especially in DOD:S.

i imagine itll go live on the 10th with the full release...which is quite frankly maddness

Hamoodii · 7 Oct 2007 at 17:37

after the orange box is shipped counter strike and day of defeat will have multicore versions

Bones · 7 Oct 2007 at 17:50

I gather this update will put multicore support in all source games right? so means perhaps better performance in TF2

whoopie!

Borden · 7 Oct 2007 at 17:55

Yep, that's why i'm looking forward to it.

It already runs really well...multithreading support would be awesome.

FrostedNipple · 7 Oct 2007 at 18:23

ooooo

, will it be a manual patch or auto?

Is this for all source games (HL2, EP1, CSS etc) ?

.:MBK:. · 7 Oct 2007 at 18:32

its for the source engine itself, so i imagine it will have some effect on all source based titles

yaboy · 7 Oct 2007 at 18:34

epic.. can't wait. might do good for css imo

LabR@t · 7 Oct 2007 at 18:45

cool thought it already was , might be able to withhold temptation of new vga card if i get a small fps boost from that ]

Robert · 7 Oct 2007 at 18:56

Apparently it's already enabled in TF2...just for the particle system :/

Certainly isn't on mine.

game performs great on single cores, and has some of the best physics around. guess they going dual core just for kicks.

.:MBK:. · 7 Oct 2007 at 19:32

multi core will enable them to do more with the source engine in the future

Im already getting 70-90fps on last gen dx9 hardware! <3 valve

Indeed Source engine runs beautifully..
Imagine the Gary's Mod mayhem after the multi-core patch comes out, it will be scary

KNiVES · 7 Oct 2007 at 20:45

Episode 2 is heavy on the physics side of things - buildings toppling and all that. So going multi-core is a good move on Valve's part.

Rackerz · 7 Oct 2007 at 20:47

Are dual cores supported already, or am I mistaken?

yaboy · 7 Oct 2007 at 20:53

you're mistaken
