Source Engine - Multi Processor Support

lauroy8 · May 23rd, 2007, 10:09 AM

I read awhile back that Valve was updating the Source Engine to directly support multi-processor/multi core CPUs. Does anyone know if this has been implemented yet? There were several articles back in 2006 saying that it was going to be done and then the story kind of died.

Thanks

Haven't heard much on it since November either. Prob. an update with Episode 2 or something.

I don't believe they have done anything for the hl2 engine, except update it to 64-bit. For the updates to the engine with hl2 ep2, it is supposed to have SMP support. I am unsure if they will attempt to support it in other games like the original HL2 and EP1. Which EP1 wasn't converted over to 64-bit, must not have been in their budget.
