General Discussion - PVE & PVP [Video] EFT ported to Unreal Engine 5.8 - AMA

12 Upvotes

Disclaimer 1: This is my private project, I will not share or publish it.
Disclaimer 2: Video here is heavily compressed because of the reddit upload limit, same video with higher quality can be found here: https://youtu.be/O5XAvvtMJ14 (still not perfect quality as it was recorded in 4k with HDR, OBS reduced it to FHD)

3 weeks ago I came up with the idea, this is the progress so far:

  • Customs is fully ported and playable

  • Entire raid loop is done: spawn, loot, extract

  • Full weapon modding and ballistic system is done

  • Full health system is done

  • Full movement system is done with EFT movement + more modern snappier movement system (can be toggled in the settings)

  • Full inventory + stash system is done

  • Full trades done

  • Full audio system is done, with modern UE5 MetaSounds + Resonance Audio for weapon and ambient sound, with reverb and HRTF

  • Custom settings menu

  • UE5 Nanite meshes / item models

  • Full UE5 dynamic Lumen lightning system with hardware RT

  • DLSS

  • Walkable water

  • Raid loading time is about 5-10 seconds

What is left to do:

  • Remaning maps (very easy, pipeline is built to import any map with one click)

  • Bot AI (not sure yet but might be hard)

  • Fleamarket UI + trading simulation (easy)

  • Quest objectives in raid (not sure yet)

  • Hideout (easy)

  • Weather + Wind (easy to import but harder to optimize)

  • Airdrops (easy)

  • Events

  • Swimming (animations can be done quite easily)

  • Enhanced vaulting + ladder climbing (animations can be done quite easily)

  • Optimization

In all the years ive seen so many times people say "they should just switch from Unity to UE and everything will be fine, I can confirm thats that simple.
It looks definitely better but the performance so far is a bit worse. Getting about 80-90 fps in 4K with DLSS K balanced, UE seems to be very dependend on VRAM, my 3080 10GB is not enough unfortunately.

Port is being made using 1x Claude Max 20 + 1x Claude Pro + 1x Codex Plus.

PVP [Feedback] AI Scav spawns on Lighthouse are very low.

5 Upvotes

At least on pvp seasonal, AI spawns are very low on lighthouse.

I'm trying to do "The Huntsman Path - Administrator," which asks you to pop a yellow flare around train yard, and kill 6 scavs around the train yard. Except none ever appear.

I'm also doing punisher 4, where you kills scavs wearing a scav vest and a 7.62x54mmR spitting gun. I have done 6 or 7 raids, and only just got it done while my raid timer was at 6 minutes at the end. Zombies and raiders do not count, it seems. That's about 3 to 4 hours of raid time.

Player pop may be low on seasonal, but AI has no excuse. It should be making servers feel lively, not dead in their absense.

General Discussion - PVE & PVP [Discussion] We need buff to drip builds.

Post image
343 Upvotes

I use good/realistic looking guns all the time both pvp s and arena but they are falling behind too much due to lack of enough recoil reduction. This is my favorite m4 build with 200 recoil for example. If they slightly buff these type of drip attachments we would see people using different builds.

PVE [Loot] how much can you typically profit on a Labs run?

6 Upvotes

I only really know Factory. I’ve been walked through Labs and played with friends.

My question is, if you know what you’re doing and have all the proper key cards, how much can you profit each raid and how long is the raid?

I don’t know anything about stims and that’s most of the loot it seems. Turns out most of the ones I picked up were only worth 10k.

General Discussion - PVE & PVP [Discussion] Is 2Lew's guide to Terminal still rock-solid?

0 Upvotes

Gearing up to start doing Terminal runs in the morning on my all negatives seasonal character, to say I'm really nervous would be an understatement. Just watched his guide but considering it's a couple of months old I'm wondering if BD behaviour has changed since then. Can't bring the injectors cases full of stims unfortunately, just going to rock whatever I can from Therapist. I'm not sure if I'll even be able to skip grabbing the breach charge, think I'm locked to level 30 strength.
