Time to Bail on the Cryengine. Now, is the time to make the change. No one else is staying with it. Even that casino rumor is gone with the wind and I'm sure it's because of the engine.
There's a lot of reasons to leave it too. There's so many ugly interfaces, player limitations and immersion breaking ideas. So many bugs and memory leaks and just sad programming caused crashes. Space was not included in the original concept so it was patched together to make it work. It doesn't even resemble real space. The mission system is obviously a problem, example the Gold Rush missions on Arkadia. Falling through the floors, getting stuck in walls, forever rezzing in of stores items and buildings with too much detail, lag caused by downloading too much detail that could be stored locally, getting hit by mobs that spawn below the surface, feet that sink into the ground. All these problems and more are BECAUSE of the difficulty working with the cry engine.
There is a lot of great things about this game. But all the little things add up and now i cant think of any.
