This solution is not ideal, but it’s currently the only option (as of right now).

You would need to abandon Lumberyard and go over to EPIC GAMES UNREAL ENGINE (UE4) and use Unreal Engine. It doesn’t seem likely that anyone working for Amazon could do this, so your chances of seeing this happen is pretty much ZERO. Unfortunately NONE of this was ever shared with Crytek or any Amazon Lumberyard developers (from what I understand) so as of the past 9+ years, despite this being one of the most COMMONLY ASKED questions, the answer is Amazon is NOT LISTENING and Amazon just doesn’t care. Only Sean Tracy (from Crytek) who now works for Chris Roberts (CIG/Star Citizen) has managed to get this to work (for Star Citizen) using a heavily modified CryEngine / Lumberyard fork.Ĭrytek attempted this (for Star Citizen / CIG) but from what I heard they had failed miserably, and Chris Roberts eventually had to hire his own developers (original Crytek engineers) and I believe Sean Tracy (from Crytek) was able to get this working (for Star Citizen / CIG) and was hired by CIG to get this done. So the chances of this happening are ZERO. This request seems to have “fallen upon deaf ears” and even with Chris Roberts “deep pockets” and “big money” (from crowdfunding/kickstarter) we could never seem to get anyone at Crytek to do this or make it work in CryEngine (same 3.8.1 fork as current Lumberyard). NOBODY from Amazon even cares, and NOBODY at Amazon cares about our “feature requests” and we have requested this same exact feature for 5+ years already (since before Amazon even purchase a CryEngine license) and this exact same feature was requested on the Crytek forums dating all the way back to 2008 (and earlier) era on the original Crytek forums. Otherwise any idea on how to implement this would be great. If we can do it manually, is there any info out there on now to proceed ? If not I think its going to be very hard for LY to compete with unrealengine 4, which I'm using currently btw. Me too, is there no system planned, where say you can load in a tiled terrain setup from geo control 2 or such ( or even make your own )? I want to make a flight sim like game, so the 4K limit is not enough for me …

Yeah some ideas and orientation would be very helpfull, i am highly interested in this topîc too.
