Hi everyone,

I’m going to move posts to different threads, as the specific advice we would give to people depends on numerous factors - particularly the hardware configuration of their computers.

Hi @johnolesen77,

Is the performance issue specific to certain types of area (e.g. underground, forest, desert) or a global issue affecting all zones pretty much equally?

Specific changes I’d recommend include;

• Try changing Ambient Occlusion from Medium to Low
• Try changing Volumetric Lighting from Medium to Low
• Try changing Vegetation System from Medium to Low
• Try changing Contact Shadows from Medium to Low

Are you playing at Ultrawide 1440p?

I’d recommend trying a lower resolution as an initial settings change.

In this instance I’d recommend lowering settings across the board.

Our system requirements recommend the desktop version of the 1060, and list the GTX 660 Ti as the minimum supported. The mobile version of the GTX 1050 is going to perform around the same level as the GTX 660 Ti - I’d actually expect slightly lower performance from it.

As we continue to optimize the game across future patches, performance will gradually improve. If you’re dissatisfied with the current performance, you can either request a refund from Valve if you purchased through Steam, or request a refund from us if you bought Last Epoch from EHG directly. Your playtime may factor into whether such a refund is offered.

If you’d like to try tuning your settings;

• I’d recommend disabling Vertical Sync as you won’t maintain 60 FPS, so VSync will be limiting your FPS to 30 (or even 15). This is probably one of the primary reasons for the game feeling as bad as it does, and I really don’t think it’s worth having enabled.
• Changing Shadow Quality from High to Medium.
• Changing Ambient Occlusion from Medium to Low.
• Changing Vegetation System from Medium to Low.
• Changing Contact Shadows from Medium to Low.
• Changing the Rendering Mode from Forward to Deferred. The game may claim that performance would be better with Forward, but I suspect that would not be the case.
• Finally, I’d recommend disabling Realtime Reflections.

If performance is still poor, try lowering Ambient Occlusion from Medium to Low.
