Over the course of the iCBT, I did not encounter much of a problem with the game’s performance. It was not until I am in more populated areas, such as Klaipeda and various grinding locations, that I notice my FPS dropping. I didn’t really have much of an issue with this and just simply shrugged it off. However, the GM boss summoning event from today was what had validated the issue. During the event, I noticed many people were experiencing major problems with their FPS, myself included. I personally had found it more difficult to fully enjoy the event due to this.
As for whether computer specs are the issue here, I have played many games that are more demanding than ToS with little to no problems. I have also found that those with better specs than me had also had trouble maintaining over 10 FPS during this event. This leads me to believe that the issue is from the game’s end.
Unless this gets addressed, I feel that this game will become near unplayable on official release, given that the iCBT only had a population of 5000-9000 people.
