Hi,
my ingame performance is fine for the most part, however it seems that LE wants ALL the attention from my PC.
Whenever I hit Alt + Tab to do anything, my systems slows down drastically, especially when I switch to my browser. (Firefox)
Also the longer the game runs, the worse it gets.
Is there anything I can do about that?
Hey… Chipping in on your post
You havent really provided any information as to help anyone give you some suggestions… and the devs will likely ask for https://support.lastepoch.com/category/35-useful-files .
LE is still in EA so its not optimised and performance issue are unfortunately something we all have to work around/ live with - especially those of us who are not running nuclear wargame systems capable of taking over the world…
You dont mention your system so I can only surmise what is happening - a lot of this could be wrong depending on your system and what you are doing…
When you Alt-Tab, you are asking your system to pause one thing and load another and this relies heavily on the available resources - for example… Have you ever noticed how much memory Firefox uses when you have a lot of tabs open (especially if they are complicated webpages) for a long time? Well, LE uses a lot of memory itself and unless you have oodles of it available unused, your system has to swap LE for whatever you are alt-tabbing to - when it does this, your system is likely to slow to a crawl for a few seconds.
Your comment re it getting worse as the game runs could be the game using more resources (and yes it does in a fairly unoptimised way right now) but it could also be whatever you are running in background - both fight for system resources - these could be memory. harddrive access, CPU and GPU - if you dont have enough of it run everything simultaneously then things will begin to slow down…
Assuming you are not using a potato 
and even if your system should be able to handle it, to improve LE performance you can consider putting all graphics settings to their lowests, limiting framerate (vsync), running at a lower resolution and not doing anything system intensive at the same time. You could also consider setting LEs background frame limits - although some people have found that this doesnt always work so you could change that in your graphics card driver (if it has this option).
