Bug Description:

i built a bridge out of black ice, now its huge but i wouldnt say its big enough to cause lag and it isnt - so long as i dont build with black ice. now i tested this by swapping out the black ice walls for stormglass and nemedian and the game stops lagging with both. this seems to only happen with really big builds as my black ice castle is only 6 walls high and i dont get any stutters when looking at it, unlike the bridge. it seems to be an issue specifically with how the building pieces handle light from behind cuz the framerate is noticeably better at night. or its just a really unoptimized texture

---

Bug Reproduction:

1. build big bridge out of black ice
2. notice big stutters whenever i turn to look at said bridge
3. swap out black ice pieces for other pieces and notice the lag is gone completely

additional info:
im running windows 10 on an rtx 3060 (12 gig variant), i5-12600kf and 32 gigs of ram so i more than meet the game’s requirements

post i made detailing the tests: Started having real bad performance post latest update (black ice at fault?)

Greetings gsomslayer!
Thank you for reporting this issue to us.

In order for our team to properly assess your situation, could you please share with us a video or screenshot so that we may see where you’ve placed this bridge (location on the map) and how big it is?

We’ll be waiting for your reply!

yeah sure thing

im close to sepermeru at B6 and there isnt a whole lot around me but cliffs and the green wall. the bridge itself is 3 tiles wide and 30 long. i did end up having to replace the black ice walls to arena walls which fixed the stutters, but the size of the bridge hasnt changed

thanks for the prompt reply (:
