See attached videos, was trying to beta test some more tonight now that my video capture is fixed but it's been unbearable with frame deaths constantly. I only recorded the few leading up to me rage quitting because it's unbearable. I also had it freeze while in the map so no idea what is causing it.

I was still in the Icy mountains when I started playing and completed that area + the wolves, didn't start having issues until I had run right to the far end of the Ashland region (right down past the portal etc)

Apologies for brightness being max - I just came out of a dungeon and they're SO dark I can't see anything unless I'm on max brightness. was on the way to the other one so didnt bother turning it down as I'm sick of turning it up to max then back to normal for outside lol. I dunno why but the dungeons are SO dark for me now.

Had these sound bugs too.
I closed and reopened the game and that fixed the sound for me.

@hexed wind @sick mirage can you guys check the limits on the dash SFX to make sure they dont cut out?

@versed wolf - That is CPU struggling. When cPU is struggling, sound gets affected first

ok, then something in the Ashlands seems like its borking CPU performance..

Unless for whatever reason Kythrie was running some background task and it was causing hitching... idk its so hard to debug issues like this based on other peoples machines...

I have a Ryzen 7800x3d I don't think it should be struggling as its not that old. But I don't keep up with new tech so maybe it's already outdated.

@versed wolf I didn't have anything running (intentionally) in the background but in hindsight I also didn't check the processes.

If it happens again I'll check it!

@wanton topaz thank you so much for feedback. I added some performance improvements in the area after your report. Hopefully it helps 🙂
