Patch 2 is around the corner. It features major performance improvements, many new tweaks & changes, and begins our journey incorporating feedback into Origin Character epilogues, among other major things. Details coming soon.

Thank goodness.

With graphics hardware at the low end of the requirements (which are high for an RPG) the game struggles to maintain 30fps at 1080p, often failing even with the expensive settings turned down. The simplest outdoor scenes often send the GPU fans into hyperdrive unless FPS is capped below 40. Quicksaving sometimes drops FPS to 10ish until another save or reload. And that's just in Act 1.

Major performance improvements will be very welcome.

Yeah I run on a boiled potato so any improvements will help.

"which are high for an RPG"...?

That's right. The RX 480/580 is no slouch. Lesser GPUs are generally plenty for an RPG of this kind at minimum graphics settings.

at least we'll save on heating costs this winter, with our pcs on hyper overdrive mode whenever we are looking for Balsam.
