Being in danger of being a flame supporter (no intention for that really) I have to agree. Game performance (read Client here) is a bit lacking in the patch notes, and as far as I saw in PTS, nothing was really addressed :\
I can run AoC in max quality with better fps than WaR, and that's just weird...

ps: some effects seem to be guilty on this, just like the "mount fog" got a nice revamp, eliminating fps problems with it's effect, lots of other effects need to be addressed like that one. One good example is the Group Morale Shield. It just freezes my fps if in a narrow place.

If you haven't played on the PTS server yet , I suggest you do - the performance is much better .

OT - Has anyone done a performance comparison somewhere? I have looked but found none (such as FPS in a Keep siege on the PTS vs. real client).

I have no performance related issues with WAR at all, I think it's only crashed back to desktop once in the whole time I've played it.

I don't think you can blame Mythic/GoA too much for this one

I actually blame (strong word though) Mythic for the optimization. Personally I have very few CTDs but at times very low FPS in Fortress and Siege attempts. Mostly my FPS is in the 90's when soloing though. It became much better for me with 1.1 but in the big glorious battles the FPS still haunts me.

And I honestly do not believe I am alone in this (very good rig as well).

I'm so tired of these kind of comments.

[Sir Robin]

Even if they are true?

[Kingdom]

Just because some of you people dont experience performanceissues doesn't mean others do.

(I can run AoC on "high"settings, I should be able to atleast run WAR in "fastest framerate" without stuttering and all the choppiness)
