Optimization and Stability of Graphics

[AndrewTilley]

Yeah, optimization is definitely something EHG continues to work on in nearly every patch they release. Next patch, 0.8.1, there are some further optimizations coming but, as mentioned below, we’ll likely have to wait for the entirety of this long-term optimization project to be implemented before seeing significant changes in performance.

Optimization

• Significantly optimized visual effects that appear around the character during skill usage.
  • While these are not the most significant contributors to poor performance, this is the first update to include work from a long-term project of ours to dramatically improve combat performance in Last Epoch. We will be gradually rolling out this optimization work to additional areas of the game across future updates.
• Optimized the performance of outlines applied to enemies and allies on mouse-over.
  • They should also now look better.

It’s certainly something they’re focusing more heavily on as multiplayer looms in the future;

Improving performance
We are still aggressively working on performance in Last Epoch. We have even more improvements coming soon, and we recognize that good performance is important for an enjoyable multiplayer experience.
