We can't recommend using a computer without malware protection in 2020 if it's connected to the internet under any circumstances. You could try just adding an exclusion for OpenMW, or, even better, reporting a false positive to the vendor so they whitelist OpenMW.

Localisation of content has been a post-1.0 goal for a long time. It's just it'll require ESM format changes to do it in a more modern way (where the strings live outside the content files in a separate database so you don't need to swap out everything just to swap the strings).

As the CI jobs seem to have taken over from nightlies, I've made the part of the first post that discusses them bold now. It should be a bit more visible. We probably want to change things so the bit that refers to the old nightlies links to the latest master-branch build, too, but that's getting to...

Okay, Apple's documentation says: OpenGL is deprecated, but is available on Apple silicon Which is more or less the exact same state as it's been in on Intel-based Macs for the last few years. I'm glad they changed their mind about that, but I'm not too surprised as there's a lot of software out the...

I was under the impression the ARM-based Macs wouldn't have any OpenGL support, and OpenMW requires OpenGL. Is there an OpenGL implementation in Rosetta? If so, that's annoying as it means there is an OpenGL driver for those Macs, but you can't use it with native code.

Learning C# makes learning Java harder because suddenly you hate Java for being an objectively worse C# that makes you do extra typing and thinking for no good reason whatsoever.

Piledriver was known for having awful performance, and you could work around it by making an application use more threads as then at least then you'd have several sets of terrible performance to add together. That meant there were certain situations where eight piledriver cores could more-or-less ke...

Rendering is entirely done on the draw thread. That's why it's called the draw thread. If you press F3 until the profiler comes up, you'll see the draw thread overlaps most of the frame. A part of the main thread is spent deciding what to render. This is labelled Cull in the profiler. Depending on t...

We're already processing the world state during the rendering of the previous frame. If scripting happens then, too, then it's necessarily ignoring that frame's world state changes.

I was under the impression that usually osgDB just gives the loader plugins an istream and they don't need to care whether it's a file or an in-memory stream. I'd just double-check that it's breaking how you think it's breaking.
