Additional Performance Improvements

"

On our test machines, the DirectX 11 renderer with shadows on "Low" settings is now faster than the DirectX 9 renderer with shadows off (which was always our target).

I m glad for you that your game runs well on your test machines, unfortunately i m not playing on it. Give us the hardware list of those machines (CPU, GPU, motherboard, RAM, drives).
Is there somewhere a GGG minimal system requirement to play the game decently ? i've never seen such a list

Your last year of "performance improvements" have been massive steps backwards, after 2+ solid years of actually making the game more enjoyable.

I remember when the game had oh so many massive issues, that were getting addressed, then all of a sudden, the game's performance is getting worse and worse and worse over the last 9 months or so.

It's very frustrating having 2-3 fps in Tul breaches,

Saddly i have the same experience. Since you started the RAM improvement everything has been worse and worse with each new performance improvement for me.

GGG should stop allowing comments of less than three words to be posted on the forum. Or implement a 'like' button on posts that does nothing other than distract those who post the useless 'Nice', 'Neat' or 'Cool' posts and hopefully dissuade them from posting their nothing posts. 'Tis annoying having to scroll to the second or third page to see where the conversation actually starts.

I hope they fixed the issue with artifacting on DX11 though.

So when are you going to let us turn down particle effects and other performance killing options?

Optimizations and improvements are absolutely meaningless when the options menu is so shitty.

You're improving FPS by 1-5 on high-end machines, but you aren't helping average machines out at ALL with these improvements. I guarantee these changes will not stop the game from dropping to less than 1FPS during Breaches, Other Allies Cannot Die, Strongboxes, Necrovigil, and all the other bullshit overly detailed effects that can't be turned down/off. The only thing that will help average machines is an ACTUAL OPTIONS MENU. Let me turn this garbage off.

I don't want a pretty slideshow, I want a FUNCTIONAL GAME.

It's 2017, the game has been in development for ten years, it's time to stop living in 2007 and give us a proper fucking menu.

Seriously, don't just test your game with high-end machine, especially not giving the option to turn off those fancy effects.

The game's performance is really good when you guys releasing the act 4 back then. But then it's getting worse and worse after each patch. Also, the game crash so often since the releasing of atlas of worlds.

I like news on performance improvements. Unfortunately, thus far I've not seen tangible results myself.

Awesome! =)

Still want to be able to turn off shadows on DX11. I5 6600, GTX980. i simply just dont like them as it makes the game look like junk. so ruining DX9 so i can turn the ugly things off.

Youtube has a like system. Still doesn't stop people from going all "FIRST!!!" :/
