"Performance Update!"

1.0.2 — Performance Update

CPU Bottleneck Fix

●        Traced choppy performance to the client shipping in an unoptimized "debug" build that bottlenecked the CPU, regardless of PC power.

●        Client now ships fully optimized, so the GPU handles the workload as intended instead of waiting on slow code.

FPS & Frame Time Improvements

●        Roughly 1.6–1.7× higher FPS in the same areas.

●        Significantly steadier frame times, with far fewer dips in town, busy fights, and crowded farm spots.

●        Stuck or stuttery performance on strong rigs is resolved.

Pet & Creature Farm

●        Fixed the pet incubation timer freezing when closing and reopening the Creature Farm; the countdown now ticks correctly.

Visual & UI Fixes

●        Emoticons now display in the speech bubble above your character, not just in chat.

●        Fixed the character/costume preview showing weapon effects as a white blob.

General

●        Recommended: enable G-Sync/FreeSync (or VSync) on 144 Hz monitors for tear-free motion.
