Upcoming Video Memory Utilisation Improvements

tl;dr
the engine will now use all available VRAM. Good in theory. Let's see the implementation...

does anyone know how many images/animations are actually loaded for this game? also, what are the image specs? high resolution images are all i can see. large image size coupled with the sheer amount of them and they want to try to overload the GPU memory as well as CPU now

Can we also get some support for the newer / casual players in the game? so it does not feel like they are fighting a losing battle? because of the current state of the end game well ... it has a bit crowded, to say the least ... I understand that there are 15h/day players and I appreciate them but this is a game, not a job ... a player with the base knowledge playing casual 1.5-2h / day (casual = not efficient ) should be able to do 3-4 builds and take them towards the end game. in 3 months (per league) ... at the moment with the current implementation of the game well I don`t know if they can get to the end game ... I have brought 16 friends to the game back in Delirium and out of them only 2 play it 12+ h/day ... the rest are casuals and well slowly I lost most of them and the problem was never the Texture streaming well that helped but the main issue is that it's not fun ... it's a rabbit hole for a new player he can't enjoy the game because the game does not teach you anything ...you reach maps/end game and you know nothing about nothing and then you end up playing 30 min and 2 h lost on Wiky / craft of exile / Poedb / poeninja / Poe trade whatever ... and install a couple of 3rd party programs ... well I really hope i made my point I love the game and I hope you guys understand that nobody plays a game to reach maps ... everyone is playing it to get to the Maven/Awakener/Feared whatever and not being able to do it because you lack information and having to go to a 3rd party to get the information it feels bad .. simple as that .. I actually stopped donating and buying Packs at the beginning of the league because I'm a bit terrified about the future of the game with the current "Philosophy" I hope you people understand and do something towards this ...

I appreciate the information provided and I really hope there are some improvements to performance. It's been a frustrating league personally, dying a lot to assets that unfortunately didn't show on my screen or, most frequently, to boss assets loading and causing a massive fps stutter/freeze that leads to a death. Keep up the hard work and thanks again for the info.

TLDR: da computer is like magic, we try our best to understand it and eplain to you, in hope that in the future you will know that these bugs we can't figure out, well would YOU figure them out if it were your job? maybe. what was i saying? video memory is difficult to understand!

does this mean ultimatiums are going to stop overheating my graphics card?

WHy not code in a system to where user can let system assign VRAM allowed to be used by game or choose how much of it they want the game to use?


Also...plz make the rogue harbor non public e_e. The place is always occupied and causes stuttering.

Also we make sure we unload assets you will sure need in instance you loading. And load somth random, just because magik should flow further.

And on top of that we ddos yr GPU just because we can. And ofc for making a picture our program working hard!

Magic!

Very good! We hope that all is well.

let's hope i will be able to play in full party
