Yes! The lack of information is appalling! Release notes are published but don’t contain any information as to possible impact of changes or fixes.
For example, each World Update contains a lot more objects and object details. But nothing about the impacts of the additional objects. Before and after performance information in the Release Notes might help.
I don’t think Asobo has made the connection between FPS and graphics quality very clear. They initially published recommended system specs but never connected them directly to the graphics settings. I thought that a top-end system would be able to deliver high FPS with high graphics. And do so without a lot of tweaking and tuning! Very bad assumption on my part!
Maybe the definitions of ULTRA, HIGH, MEDIUM, and LOW need redefining somehow to differentiate between ULTRA “graphics” and ULTRA “FPS”. I honestly thought I could have higher (maximum?) FPS somehow by figuring out how to configure the ULTRA settings while not using LOW or MEDIUM.
Thank you for your feedback!
