settingsGame Engine

Stability & Performance

Reduced login, loading screen and /reload times.
Fixed textures briefly appearing white while loading.
Reduced stutter while turning camera, riding, flying or entering new areas.
Replaced loading screen after most teleports with short fade on DirectX 11.
Added protection that stops addon scripts from freezing game for more than five seconds.
Reduced memory usage and slowdowns during long play sessions, including after repeated /reload.
Improved interface performance in crowded fights, including combat text, buffs, combat meters and tooltips.

Animations

Made fire, smoke, torch, waterfall and spell casting effects animate more smoothly.
Added elemental shooting motions for eligible magic skills and smoother weapon trails.
Added Animation High Poll Rate setting; turning it off lowers animation and effect update rates for better performance.

Arcadia Engine

Note by GD: Until now, game did almost all its work on one CPU core, so one heavy moment such as raid fight or many spell effects slowed everything down. Arcadia Engine shares that work across your CPU, so frame rate stays steadier when it matters most.

Introduced Arcadia Engine, which uses more CPU cores for smoother performance in busy scenes. Requires DirectX 11.

DirectX 11

Note by GD: DirectX 11 brings better visuals and higher frame rate at same settings, and lets us keep improving graphics in future updates. If you notice graphical errors, crashes or lower performance, switch Graphics Renderer (DirectX) to DirectX 9 in Settings and report problem to us.

Added Neural Rendering setting with DLSS presets for RTX graphics cards.
Added Legacy Visuals option to keep classic look while playing on DirectX 11.
Added new antialiasing choices, anisotropic filtering and optional depth of field.
Added automatic graphics preset choice that suits your computer on first DirectX 11 start.
Added Graphics Renderer (DirectX) setting to switch between DirectX 9 and DirectX 11 without restarting game.

Lighting & Shadows

Added HDR lighting with bloom.
Made nights darker; full-moon nights stay brightest.
Increased handheld torch light reach fivefold with softer glow.
Added sun lens flare at highest Sky Quality, dimmed by clouds and dusk.
Added light from torches, streetlamps and spell effects onto nearby surroundings.
Added shadows from torches and lamps and softer shadow edges at higher graphics presets.
Added soft contact shadows, richer surface lighting and sky reflections under Advanced Lighting.
Fixed distant terrain shadows appearing and disappearing at dusk and dawn while camera turns or moves.
Added sunlight beams through trees and clouds at highest Sky Quality, reacting to weather and time of day.
Improved shadows with sharper detail nearby, wider coverage at distance and less flickering while turning camera.

Sky & Clouds

Added 3D clouds that follow weather and change world lighting.
Added DirectX 11 sky with visible sun, solid moon, stars, planets, nebulae and Milky Way.
Added Sky Quality setting that sets detail of planets, stars, clouds and sunlight in one slider.
Known issue: Clouds on setting "Sky Quality" with values 2 and 3 are glitched.

Terrain & Vegetation

Improved distant terrain, mountains and fog with new Far Terrain Quality setting.
Added dynamic grass and flowers that match terrain, sway in wind and bend around players and NPCs.
Improved terrain texture blending and reduced repeating patterns at top Terrain Texture Quality step.
Added fifth Terrain Texture Quality step on DirectX 11 with deeper-looking ground and smoother hills.

Water

Added wet footprints and wet beach sand along shores.
Calmed small ponds and narrow rivers and sharpened their reflections.
Reworked water with waves, reflections, shoreline foam, underwater light patterns and sun and moon glare.
Added ocean swell with breaking waves at highest Water Details level, carrying swimmers, mounts and ships.
Added swimming wakes, ripples, splashes and underwater bubbles, and improved swimming controls in shallow water.
Added splashes, leaning grass, dust and snow puffs and swirling fog around moving characters and skill impacts at highest Water Details level.

Weather & Atmosphere

Added deeper snow with footprints, tracks and snow-covered objects.
Added darker, glossier wet look on characters in rain that depends on armor material.
Added Ambient Life with fireflies, glowing motes, butterflies and lighting moods that need HDR.
Reworked rain and snow with denser precipitation, ground splashes, ripples, puddles and shelter under roofs.

Various

Fixed camera snapping flat when tapping diagonal movement keys.
Added footstep sounds that match ground, echo in caves and quieter music during combat.
Added bindable Select / Rotate Camera and Interact / Mouse Look actions for classic left and right click behavior.
Added hand torch you can light with Ctrl+T (visible only to you), and Sheathe key (Z by default) now cycles between sheathed, melee and ranged weapons.

auto_awesomeGame Systems

Monster Cards

Updated card tooltips to list ownership across main and additional decks.
Fixed Monster Cards filter counts and lists staying outdated after card attribute or star changes until relog.

Wings

Changed some wings to allow you fly or float on request, similar to flying mounts. They will require same questline to enable flying. Floating can be toggled with Shift + F.
