potato computer can't handle skal update

Post by deadmau5 concert » Wed Feb 21, 2024 4:29 am

For some reason the texture update is just crushing my potato computer. I'm not sure if anything can be done about this, as I already keep my settings on the lowest. I'm not sure if many other's potatoes are struggling, but being in town on Skal is next to unplayable with fps lag right now.

Definitely sorry to hear that. I've had no such issue with it myself either here on Arelith or when testing Tyrants.

If you find a solution please let us know here on the forums.

Have you tried turning enhanced lighting on?

The above solution seems to correct the issue.

THIS for some reason WORKS.

THIS for some reason WORKS.

With the risk of celebrating too early, I believe I have figured out a potential fix. At least it worked in a test area in the live server, so if it also works when pushed into the Distant Shores server, it'll be announced.

It absolutely does. My game has been running better overall ever since the change.
