Q-Enterprise (the official production Q server) is now live and updated with the latest version of Q. It’s a pretty powerful custom built server, running on a AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X processor (32 cores). Starting later this week (as we migrate all of our internal systems to the new machine), delivery times will be GREATLY decreased for two reasons:
First, the new version of Q is capable of utilizing the Threadripper’s multiple cores and processing threads (can’t quite maximize them yet, but we’ll get there), meaning our processing power has increased exponentially.
Second, for those who don’t know, right now there’s a human element in the custom creation process. Q-Engineer has to monitor the whole process, as well as make corrections when the system glitches out. The new version of Q contains a number of tools and settings to make their job MUCH easier.
In the next update, we’ll be adding the ability for Q to create Ultimas (yes, that means we’ll be able to add Ultima builds to the Q-store), maximizing the multicore functionality and soon after, finishing the “full automation” feature.
