Techland's Chrome Engine has been widely regarded as a rather flawed 3D [[game engine]]. It has many known issues including, but not limited to, poor [[draw distance]], [[pixel shader]] issues and graphical tearing. Techland games often find themselves bearing all these issues that have yet to be fixed. As a result of it's poor performance as a game engine, it has only used for Techland's own games or by [[Video game developers|developers]] unable to afford a better engine due to budgets restraints. This has also led games using the Chrome engine to be received poorly by both critics and the public as the problems normally result in poor game performance or the game being unable to run at all. |

Techland is a Polish video game developer, founded in 1991 by Paweł Marchewka. They are most famous for developing Call of Juarez, a Western-themed first-person shooter, released for Microsoft Windows in 2006, and later ported to Xbox 360 in June 2007. They also produced Dead Island, a first person survival horror zombie shooter[1].
Company history
Techland debuted as a computer software distributor. The first internally developed product, Crime Cities, was published in 2000. The date marks the consolidation of the core development team whose collaborative efforts resulted in the creation of the proprietary Chrome Engine in the year 2003. The first game based on the in-house engine which established Techland as a widely-recognized software developer was a sci-fi first person shooter, Chrome. The critical acclaim and commercial success of the original title were the grounds for the sequel entitled Chrome: Specforce, released in 2005. Alongside the first person shooters, Techland developed rally simulation games Xpand Rally and Xpand Rally Xtreme. In the year 2006 a VW licensed arcade driving game, GTI Racing, was added to Techland's development team portfolio.
Since its first appearance in the year 2003, Chrome Engine, has been under constant development and in 2006 it evolved into ChromeEngine 4, which is also under going compatibility for the Playstation 3. The potential of the SDK is demonstrated in the latest of Techland's titles, Call of Juarez. This Western-themed first person shooter for PC and next-gen consoles received worldwide recognition and reinforced Techland's position. Call of Juarez is currently the company's most recognized product and the first title to fully support DirectX 10.
