We are pleased to announce the big performance update is now live! Our tests confirm upwards of 20%-50% performance improvements. However, some of the changes we made are experimental, and we wish this to be a trail run to ensure stability. Please report any issues you experience, particularly in crashes. If you are experiencing crashes, and you weren't before, please report this to us. Patch notes: - Performance increases 20-40% across the game using threaded rendering.(Very noticeable in large cities) - Performance increase of 10-20% in crowd rendering as well as distant landscape rendering, increase is due to improved DX11 instancing. - Remaining Issues in Kirkwall quests with saving and events fixed. - Sound/muzzle flash bug on crossbow in multiplayer now fixed. - Main menu improvements. - Bug fixed when modifying graphics for the first time often put screen at low resolution. - Issue fixed where sound volume settings often did not apply when first loading game. - Issue fixed where items meant to appear/trigger during quests sometimes wouldn't. - Demo version fully updated to latest version. We hope you all enjoy the FPS increase! Have a fantastic week! Regards, Robert.
