In the interviews posted in this thread the representative from the company that created hero engine states quite clearly that bioware has a license to modify the source code as they see fit - And that bioware modified the engine to fit their needs because at the time the engine was purchased it was incomplete. Bioware basically built their own engine based off of the hero engine that existed at that time. Since then the retail hero engine has been upgraded in one direction, and bioware has built their own way of doing things from their version.

Is there anyone in this thread (or forum) who has actually worked with the HeroEngine? Or maybe the version that BioWare is working with? No? Didn't think so. Just more FUD spread about by no-nothings who just love to ***** and moan.

From what I understand it was a matter of it not being able to handle large groups of people and they would have to basically build a Multi-player part to then bolt on to it. It was easier to go with a Engine that could handle the Multi-player part and modify that.
No one hates Star Wars as much as "Star Wars fans"

Without me, it's just aweso. i7 950 @ 4.0ghz, ASUS X58 Saber mobo, 12gb RAM@1866mhz, 6970 LIGHTNING, 120GB SSD, 1TB HDD, BWU Keyboard, Razer Mamba, PC350s, XFX XXX 750w PSU. This game desperately needs some sandbox elements. Repetitive grinding is not fun.

Im not specifically defending the engine, I know sod all about the engine and am basing what I say on my experiences with it, which have been smooth and problem free. If you are having problems with it and I am not, should I base my opinion on the engine around your experiences or mine? Personally I think I will base it on my own which seems somewhat more relevant to me. The problems you mention dont affect me as far as I am aware, therefore I can only assume something is not right with your configuration or how it meshes with the engine, and I hope you get the "fixes" you need and that they dont cause problems for me.

Yeah, don't forget those 3 games with their state of the art graphics...
