Fully rewritten render engine provides major performance improvements on high-end computers, as well as enabling more visual features on lower-end machines
Funcom and NVIDIA have announced that Funcom's proprietary Dreamworld 2.5 is the first game to incorporate server-side NVIDIA PhysX. This implementation into the Dreamworld engine results in more than a doubling in the speed-of in-game physics processing vs. traditional client-side PhysX technology, delivering realistic collision effects within the online gaming environments. Dreamworld currently powers Age of Conan and Anarchy Online, with a third, The Secret World, currently in development. The updated Dreamworld Engine 2.5 with server-side PhysX is now live in Age of Conan.
