## 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!

## 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)

> 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.

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 🤭
