Poor performance?

[Snakethesniper]

I know the game is in EA, I wanted only to confirm this, do you have poor performance in the game?
Like frequent drops etc.

[Sarajas]

It looks ugly and constantly choke on low levels of FPS. So yea, I'm actually really astonished by how bad the performance is.

[Faust]

I'd say my general frame rate isn't incredible. I have to run things on medium and even then it seems like vegetation/fog really eat up frames. Just needs optimization, I'm hoping.

Disabling shadows helps immensely.

[Anogonek]

Really need super low resolution support because even with everything on low, my computer is about to catch on fire. Adjusting the resolution and going fullscreen helps.

[Akanhero]

I get headaches of the map so something is really wrong.
Hope yjhey fix it.

[Half-Vampire]

Yeah, performance is bad, especially in forest.

These comments seem pointless, considering shadows are disabled and fullscreen enabled by default.

Anyway, with no shadows, full screen, and lowest possible settings, the game is laggy as hell and literally unplayable. Even set it at 30 FPS. Also it appears there's nothing between 30 and 60 besides 59, which is odd.

I play 4K with highest settings and usually the game is around 40-60fps on my 1080. only tutorial is hardcore and only runs at 20-30fps. but yeah, the is pretty gpu heavy. An EA game not beeing 100% optimized is not really a shocker though. Ive seen way worse.

Well, since the tutorial is what everyone plays first they should've optimized it. I didn't even try less than 30 fps, but who knows if it would work? Too late now, already refunded.

Most EA games at least run well enough that they're playable. I've only played one EA game that was worse than this, which is New World, which is just quite the failure of a game in general.

I have 90+ hours playtime that prove this game is very much playable, and i dont even have a highend pc. I agree this game isnt optimized too well, but its most certainly playable:)

All ultra FPS outside combat is stuck at 44, turning off shadow make it jump to 75.

Yeah, the game has optimization issue, but taking in consideration the nature of tthe game, gameplay, it's not a big deal, roaming arround is still smooth and combat phase doesn't have issue.

[bumbaclad]

I have a decent fps; consistently above 60. But get frequent garbage collection lag spikes.

[tiamats4esgares]

If the game can't even run at 30 fps and constantly looks like it has 1 fps, then it's not optimized. At all. Period. Literally unplayable.

I can play a whole host of video games with my PC. League of Legends, Civilization VI, Elder Scrolls Online, Black Desert Online, Path of Exile, etc. and don't have this issue on any one of them. A turn-based card game shouldn't have more issues than those games.

Lots of people can play it, hence not unplayable. It might be that your pc cant pull it though, true. Its no secret the game isnt very optimized, they are working on it. And power demand of a game has nothing to do with the type of game you do. This is not „just a card game“ compare it to MTG arena or hearthstone or whatever, this one has way more 3D assets. All games you mentioned have earned millions and out a long time. This game is about a year into development, and optimization takes time and ressources, and a whole lot of knowledge, which is many indie games are poorly optimized.
What is better: a good game playable by relatively few people, eventually optimized for a wider audience or a bad game with focus on optimization to sell it to a wide audience and eventually making it a good game? Definitely know where I would allocate my ressources.

Yeah but just good practice to cache your heap memory; no one likes lag spikes. Also turn on incremental garbage collection just in case that helps but I think there is way to much garbage for it to handle it smoothly for most.
