Technology choices

  • Language: C++17 for core; Rust for critical safety components optional.
  • Renderer: DirectX 11/12 (Windows) with fallback OpenGL/Vulkan.
  • UI: ImGui for developer tools; custom UI system or scale existing in-game UI.
  • Scripting: Lua 5.4 for addons.
  • Networking: ENet or custom UDP/TCP with reliable layer matching WildStar packet semantics.
  • Build: CMake, with Visual Studio toolchain.
  • Asset formats: reuse original models/textures where permitted; prefer glTF for new assets.
  • Fix: You must limit the CPU affinity. Use a tool like Process Lasso or run the launcher via a batch file: 
    start /affinity FFF WildStar.exe
    (FFF limits it to first 12 logical cores). Without this, the game crashes during character loading.
