Performance Issues

There are some effects we are unable to preload at the moment, and we'll improve this in future! As for general effects framerate loss, we're going to be optimizing a lot of this kind of thing later in development, but while everything is currently subject to change, this isn't a priority.

This SHOULD BE YOUR PRIORITY!. People with high end pc(like me) can't play this game in party cos' of huge constant fps drops.
I just dont get it how this can be not your priority?? More and more people come to play this game and more and more angry posts pops up with this issue..

What?! Do you realise this issue absolutely ruins gameplay?

Exactly! How is this not a priority? If anything it should be the TOP!

Hmm.. one or two moths more whithout being able to party up and i give up, i have and ati too by the way

I got
i5 650 3,8 ghz
6 gb ram
ATI radeon 6950 2 gb graphics card

And same here in beta there was no lag at all even not fps drops.
Now when it's open beta, It go from 100 + fps down to 10-15 and fps drops all the time in groups and when someone uses lightning or cold effects ... OMG.. do not even want to talk about it xD

Make this a priority. I'm also considering stopping playing this game, since the performance makes the game unbearable to play. I have several friends who stopped playing already, because the game lags too much...

I'm about ready to quit too. I was planning on waiting until this got fixed before donating and purchasing microtransactions, but if you guys don't care about making the game playable...

I have a /pretty/ bad computer, but I should be able to play this game on the lowest resolution and settings, but no, 5-10 fps when I party with 3+ other people with AoE spells / totems.

Please make improving the performance a priority so I can play properly :)

It's nearly impossible to play HC when the game locks up for 3-4+ seconds whenever a mob summons a skeleton, Piety turns Ice form, or some other unpreloaded spells. It makes no sense since the computer spec I'm running is far above the required spec.

Really disheartening to hear that this isn't a priority.

I cannot play in parties. FPS crashes constantly, it's awful.

I'll die a lot because of these crashes too.

It really should be a priority to improve the optimization or whatever because it's really really bad.

playing in parties is not an option for me.

Are there any tips besides buying a $5,000 machine? Because I cannot afford that atm and my shit should be fine.


Updated drivers check
lowest (4) texture quality check
shadows off
desync off
post processing off
screen shake off
settings changed for performance on Catalyst Pro Center


What else can I do?

This should really be a priority. These fps spikes basically have made me quit.
