Hallo Ellarians,
We just uploaded a new version with major overall performance improvement, reduced loading time between map travel, and a better character movement and jumping.
One of our biggest changes was to reduce the impact of having a large number of characters in the same place. We introduced a new system that changes the character resolution dynamically based on their clothing and complexity, and their distance from the camera. This system reduces the character performance issues by 80% and increases the frame rate by as much as 15 extra frames per second.
In addition, we went over thousands of textures and items optimized them. This optimizations increases the game performance by 25%-50%, the required memory by 25%, and the loading time between maps by as much as 30%.
As a result of these changes, you should notice a significant improvement to LoE performance.
Another improvement that we've made is to the character movement and jumping, as well as the camera following the player. These changes makes sure that you will have a more intuitive and smoother movement and jumping, without changing too much of the character stats.
Our next goal is to improve the story line and quests, In the meanwhile, We wish to thank you for your feedback. We will continue to optimize and improve other parts of LoE as much as we can.
