I´m just gonna drop this hint here so make sure everyone gets the message:
Even if you pirate the game,
you could still be of massive help when you take your feedback and properly report it back on our feedback and bug report channels on

I honestly dont care about anything other than making our game the best (and most over the top) H
game it can possibly be and thats simply not possible without talking with people so you know .. comon over, leave your thoughts ... maybe just dont mention too loudly that you´ve been pirating the game (Pretty please <3). Would also give you access to better information overall because lets be honest ... this place is never gonna get questions answered properly since its not a thread from the devs but from someone that started pirating our game day 1
TLDR: If you got something to say please say it, but dont expect us to read F95 threads its bad for mental health xD
Also in terms of optimization:
When we started development on this and decided to run with Lumen and Nanite (for its obvious development speed benefits) the GPU world seemed a lot healthier and developing at break neck speed, so I honestly never thought the 2GB extra VRAM requirements those tools carry with them AT MINIMUM would fuck over our players as much as they do nowadays. But as you probably all seen Covid came along, wars broke out, economies started shrinking and people just dont have the money anymore to update their 10 year old rigs but still want to play the latest games. I´m already thinking about how to better approach this issue, main problem is atm that there is no "easy" way to build Unreal Engine Games with toggleable light features like "Lumen off but light maps on!". Just isnt a thing right now ... I´ll see what we can do about that since yeah "Lumen off" at the moment looks like ass.
TLDR: If you wonder about FPS -> its most of the time related to VRAM maxing out on your system and with that creating a bottleneck for the GPU that then ends up reading data from the tremendously slower RAM instead.
