Water Technology in Path of Exile

If you think i didnt noticed water changes, you're very wrong, GGG.
I instantly noticed how AWESOME yor water became in Fall of Oriath.

However, i'd like to see more job regarding performance of PoE, especially - regarding various particle effects. I knowm nay of them look awesome, but when there're many of them on screen, i suffer massive FPS lags. Because you dont allow us to reduce particle effect quality.

I don't mean to badmouth or provoke you with this since you did a great job improving the game for high end PC users.But I want to know what will hapen to DX9 users.Are you planing on optimize for them as well?
There were really great improvements on the way to 3.0, but with 3.0 patch every dx9 user just got rekted with a bunch of lagg spikes.I tought you are going to fix it with 3.1 but it is just the same shit.Did you forget about those posts on reddit and here as well crying for a fix for DX9 or you don't even give a fuck.DX9 and DX9 EX options are kinda usless stuff right now.

I know every DX9 user should stop crying and buy a new Graphics card or buy a new PC, but just for 1 game? Really?We could spend that money on more microtransactions :) instead of gathering our money for new stuff little by little.

Awesome! Keep it up!

People that are having FPS issues... I don't get it. I am playing the game on a 5 year old LAPTOP and I can get 60FPS with everything maxed. The game is so well optimized.

And your Laptop cost was 4k USD.

2K NZD so 1400 USD

and your laptop configuration?

Love the new water, it really gives an immersive (hehe) feel to certain areas. I haven't noticed any particular drop in FPS in beach'y areas; perhaps some on the Brine King's Reef but then I'm often playing at 10fps or less. Every month I move a new GFX card up the priority list and every month RL moves it back down. Despite that I find POE very enjoyable and stuff like the new water is just a joy. Thank you Alex.

You forgot to add bloody red water to the blood aqueducts. It runs the old ugly waterstuff :3

Great post! Thanks for the insight!

.. and all your work paid off. It looks amazing! I actually first noticed the water properly when standing on the cliff on the Haku coastal hideout. The waves look really nice, especially where they meet the rocky shoreline. Good job!

That's great and all guys, but can you also make it stop making the game explode?
