Update #8 comes with some significant GPU performance improvements that should increase FPS across the board and a series of bug fixes.
Optimizations
- We have optimized a vast amount of assets in order to significantly lower the number of primitives displayed by GPU at once and thus increase the frame rate.
- We further optimized instancing of products displayed on shelves to allow better performance inside the gas station.
- Several objects and the landscape had their dynamic shadows adjusted.
- Culling has seem some serious work to further improve frame rates all around. Due to quite large changes made in this area, on some systems or configurations there might be some visual glitches or some in-game objects might appear later than intended. This is something we are currently working on and will improve in another update later this month.
