3.13.2 Patch Notes Preview

Finally some interesting Patchnotes! Exactly the type of news i wanted to hear !

Good changes and good progress, doesn't exactly sound quite enough though.

The worst offender, spam, doesn't seem to be addressed at all; what about a system that uses the lootfilter server-side to never even drop anything that filter has set to invisible? That itself would reduce the amount of events being processed any given seconds by an order of a few magnitudes.

And as long as you guys keep to refuse to add an SFX slider on the basis that "turning effects off would make the game look ugly", the game will forever remain ugly looking, since turning effects off seems like the only hope many would have of not playing permanently on lower resolutions. Sure all the glorious effects are on screen; shame it makes the game run at 10fps and makes everything render like someone trying to play D2 on a Commodore.

Get ready to Path of Patches for a whole month after release

Path of Performance
New league - Fixendo.

Guys just try to add slider to options:


60 FPS-----No changes----Fancy stuff

Tooltip:
60 FPS - game cuts all fancy shit (shaders, ambient occusion, NOT GENERATE items your filter is already hiding, resolution etc.) to generate 60 fps no matter what happens on the screen
No changes - clunky fps dropping to 10 fps when you see Harbingers like for last 4 years
Fancy stuff - You playing a 6 man group with 100% Delirous ALL TIME (even in town)

Just that 1 option will go all shitty comments (like mine) to black hole like they didnt exist.

TY

Something about all the useless loot that are a major cause of reduce performance in high level map, for nothing ?

Added automation to remove old minimap and shader data. This process occurs during the Grinding Gear Games logo video upon launch and may take some time.

What happens when I launch the game with the launch parameter "-no logo"?

This is one of those games where you don't need it. you can skip the intro with a click on the mouse and this game loads so fast that it takes like 0.5 seconds or less to do so lol

Impossible to force 60fps on all devices. They would not be able to call it 60fps, "performance mode" is probably better.

can we have a league where its just performance patches kthx

No. It is not in the skills of a game designer to improved performance.

You should ask "could you recruit one or two dev (if possible, specialize in optimization and performance), to work on the performance ?".

finally a legacy league with performance patch fixes throughout it? Thanks for the improvements nonetheless.
