It’s terrible in towns, it drives off many more players than you think. People hit a town and refund. I just had a talk about this with others in game. My overclocked(same without overclock)1070, i7 6700k and 16gb of ram, with the game installed on ssd, should not be getting 45 fps in towns on all settings.
I realize this pc is sorta dated, but it is an mmo and many good looking games(mmo’s) perform better with equal or more players on screen. It is also a spec level that MANY mmo players are still on and it is necessary in the current market to cater more than you have.
Also your anti aliasing is ass, please put in temporal anti aliasing, its time.
These are not primary concerns but they are certainly secondary ones, do not treat this as an afterthought. You bleed many players this way and they will simply never speak up because of the stress involved with a player trying to make a game work by using FPS fixes. Many peoples experience with the topic will simply drive them away immediately.
Edit: I want to add that I love this game so far and I just want to provide real important discussion around something that is a glaring issue.
I know it cant be player density because it doesn’t do this when players are gathered outside of a town. It seems to be building related or something which is insane. Maybe interactables idk.
This topic may just be fading away, but I had yet another convo with a player about this today. It matters. I wont keep bumping this, but I do think it needs to be seen. Anti aliasing alone could be advertised as a major graphical upgrade. Nearly no one is gaming at 4k to avoid the problem.
Its the code behind the game… its spagettie code. Running a 5900x and a 3070Ti and I get ass frames in OPR sometimes as low as 40 FPS for no reason. Mean while I can run games like ESO in Tamriel (open world PvP) and get solid 100-200 depending on the amount of players.
Same and it HAS to be fixed. They have 4 major glaring issues, being no transmog, no relationships with notable npcs, poor open world pvp incentive and terrible anti aliasing. Solve these things and their game will sky rocket in population. They need to hire someone with real VISION.
Also I meant to add performance and anti aliasing as the same thing, I just typed anti aliasing it seems, as I have read that forcing whatever type they are using off can massively improve framerates. That may be untrue though.
Those “4 major issues” arent major at all. Content will bring people back. And i agree that something has to be done about performance in this game, i even made a post about it. The easiest thing they could do is make the game true full screen so technologies that boost fps from amd and nvidia could function properly.
But hardly anyone has quit the game because of lag. Having lower fps in a crowded area like a city is normal for most games, so even when ags does improve performance in the game, dont expect your fps to suddenly double.
