Bug Description (again)

When visiting or approaching (look towards) the Isle of Dawn (Isle of Siptah expansion), game performance and FPS drop drastically.

Reminder

Coming back to a issue that has not been fixed for a long time and is still present in update 3.0 on testlive!

Isle of Siptah - New biome low performance - with reason

Game mode: Checked on Single-player most likely it affects all game modes. Type of issue: Performance Server type: All (probably) Region: All (probably) Mods?: No Edition: Steam Bug Description: Focusing the camera on the area of the new The Isle of Dawn biome of Isle of Siptah significantly reduces game performance. Increases GPU consumption up to 100% and reduces the number of drawn FPS. [The Isle of Dawn] Reason: The light-colored grass, which is rendered and animated even when view…

Possible cause (again)

The light-colored grass.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Change the graphics settings to the lowest.
2. Enable the low performance laptops settings.
   • Grass should not be rendered in-game at this point.
3. Explore the island of Siptah
   • There is no grass anywhere.
   • Except the Isle of Dawn
     
     
4. At the lowest settings in the Isle of Dawn region, the game uses as much graphics card resources as in other places at high settings.

Even if this grass is not causing low performance, it is not working properly (it shouldn’t show up at all).

No fix is working:

• Reinstalling the game (not work)
  • Change to a faster hard drive (not work)
• Updating drivers (not work)
• Change the graphic settings (not work)

Request

Isle of Siptah - New biome low performance - with reason

Hey @fito Thanks for the very detailed report. We have submitted it to our team so we can try to reproduce this issue on our end.

More than a year after I reported the possible cause of this issue, I ask:

• Have you reproduced this bug yet?

Can you lift the veil of secrecy @Ignasi

I can only beg you to take care of this issue and let me finally explore the Isle of Dawn. From what I can see, this region will be my favorite location in the whole game I would like to live there, build a base, show it on the forum and enjoy the great views every day. I want to look for new recipes and finally face the boss in the Pool of the Grey Ones. Am I asking too much?

I am definitely not the only one who has problems with this location (in the previous topic I listed places where users with similar problems spoke). On behalf of myself and others, please show us a little love.

In addition, on the Isle of Dawn the light-colored grass does not disappear after laying the foundations.

Hi @fito and thank you for reaching out to us.

Regarding your report on the Isle of Dawn, the team is aware of this issue, it has been investigating and it’s being worked on.

As for the grass issue, we’ve passed this over to the rest of the team for further investigation.

Thank you for your response

I understand that replacing grass or converting an existing asset forces players to download a cumulative file of textures. That is why such a large update is the perfect time to do this. Because with Update 3.0 you will update grass related files / libraries anyway
