Settings is now accessible in main menu.

Oh no not again. It reset all the graphics settings again! WTF COCKSTAR.

[Spider-Vice 35,320]

Make a backup of your settings.xml and bin files before updating. When it resets just restore them I guess.

[adigyran 3]

this is a bad idea, because they might add new setting and possibly crash the game due to different settings

Maybe it's not all bad. The last time they did this they added the nigh on useless tree tessellation. I wonder what useless feature that nobody will run because it sucks up far too much performance for very little visual return we got this time.

Well no new settings have been added. Also DeepSurface settings is set to High now instead of ultra in settings.xml.

my stuttering is gone 

CPU I5 4590   /GTX1060

*update*

single mode no freeze playing for 15 minutes 

online still freeze for few seconds,but no freeze in solo lobby,so i guess it's the network issue

Just make a backup of the file before starting it up. Then set it all over again. 

[GN 92 3,726]

I hope they fix the f*cking random crashes. 

[RedIndianRobin 2,893]

Holy sh*t. Quick benchmark. Got 4-5 fps boost especially in St.Denis. FPS is much more stable.

[Spider-Vice 35,320]

Set my settings as before, seems to be running the same, just fine as before, so no performance loss or anything.

[RedIndianRobin 2,893]

I am hitting 50 FPS on average now.

Just because you don't use it and can't run it, that doesn't mean it's useless.

[MeatSafeMurderer 1,263]

I'm about a minute into the benchmark and performance hasn't improved. I wasn't expecting them to pull magical improvements out of their ass but a fix for Pascal being dogsh*t and underperforming would be appreciated. (Although that might be on NVIDIA)

It's Nvidia fault, same with Maxwell. Radeons, even RX 470 are faster than 1060

I can run it, I just choose not to because it sucks up 5-7FPS and unless I am playing Tree Inspection Simulator 2020 I can't tell the difference.

[RedIndianRobin 2,893]

First impressions, I am really happy with the slight FPS boost even though it is 4-5. I'll take it. Now am off to play.

[Spider-Vice 35,320]

It's either better or the same at the same settings in Valentine for me. Will have to test more later, waiting on a change log to see what's happening.

Again, it's not useless just because you don't use it. I use it and it looks so good. It's the best update to the game since it released.

On one hand, more FPS, nice.

 

On the other hand, you'll lose your cores faster and become a skinny skeleton in no times.

 

A curse in disguise. 😛

[DEADWOODZ 6,875]

Yeah, fps is much more stable around towns such as Valentine now. Getting around 45fps.

 

Specs:

 

GTX 1070

I5 4760k oc'd @4.4ghz

16gb ram

resolution: 2560x1440

[Nagru87 2]

got a better fps in test with same setting ultra-high before patch was 52fps avarage now 56fps

[Spider-Vice 35,320]

I did notice Valentine seemed to be faster but it could be the weather conditions on my 1060. It was like very close to a stable 60 FPS at the same settings as before.

[Blendi- 514]

So what changed? I cant find the new patch notes

[Spider-Vice 35,320]

This one was released earlier so the patch notes must be coming later.

They haven't released yet. My performance is quite a bit better though. I was getting occasional dips into the low 50s before, now my lowest dips are mid 50s. Valentine in particular seems to be performing a lot better.

[MeatSafeMurderer 1,263]

Running the benchmark to completion I got the exact same results as before. Nothing outside margin of error. Had a quick run around and didn't notice any differences either. Be interesting to know where the boost that some people are seeing is coming from.

Could have to do with 4 core CPUs which were an issue? I have a 6 core/12 thread CPU so my "improvements" might have to do with the weather being overcast and thus rendering less shadows.
