    Stuff I've been playing (semi-)recently: GTA 5, Witcher 3, Bioshock Infinity, Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Sleeping Dogs, Alan Wake, Rage, Remember Me, the two Metro games, all three Mass Effect games, Hydrophobia, Far Cry 3, Skyrim, Fallout 3 and New Vegas, Dishonored, Deus Ex Human Revolution, all the Assassins Creed games up to Black Flag, the first two Batman games, ... There was a nasty bug in GTA 5 where it would always crash after you'd alt-tabbed to the desktop, but at some point an update fixed it and the problem was gone.
    Several of those are notoriously unstable, even after numerous updates. Mass Effect, for example, has never been made completely stable. All 3 titles in the main trilogy suffer from performance issues, stability issues.

    No, I'm no fan of CryEngine; in fact, after having read that license of theirs, I'm firmly opposed to CryTek and anything that has to do with them. But, to claim their engine is notably worse than others? Games have been getting worse and worse, code-wise for years now. All of them. Without exception. Some are just less dreadfully coded than others are.

      So what are you trying to say? That because Mass Effect is unstable on your machine, CryEngine must be ok? What sort of twisted logic is that? As I was saying, and try to understand the implications this time please, is that I played through those games with no problem whatsoever, _THUS RULING OUT HARDWARE INSTABILITY ON MY PART_. The CryEngine games, however, crash again and again and again and again. That engine is an unstable piece of shit.

      Incidentally, I've never heard of Mass Effect being "notoriously unstable", and in fact when I google for it I don't see any signs of widespread instability either.

        No. And I have no idea how you arrived at that conclusion, to be quite honest with you. What I meant to say was -- CryEngine is not notably worse, stability-wise, than other engines.

        And I would prefer it if you toned down the patronizing attitude. I am neither in the mood nor interested in playing those kinds of games with you but if you force my hand, I will and neither of us is going to end up happy as a result.

          I don't think CryEngine's license is any worse than any other propietary license/EULA. Is say the UE4 license much better? If so in what way?
