As you know almost every user is suffering the graphic issue.
I've to manually edit the game engine config in-order to play smoothly.
I'm having serious low FPS in dungeon sometime is just showing me 1 FPS, I was like damnit! It's really AMD RX 480 that bad until i found this post:

Not to promote the link OP but seriously this game graphic engine have to improve.

    Players: we need contents!
    BHS: Sure. *Spaghetti codes*

    Players: we need new class!
    BHS: Got you fam. *Gender-locked class while spaghetti more code because the Korean developers sure have that bachelor degree*

    Players: we need optimization!
    BHS: Nah fam, too much time, you can't understand the complex of the codes. But here's some llamas for you.

    Up until now, I can hear Eminem saying mom's spaghetti when ever my fps drops to 5 just doing WH or even DFNM when my teams are mostly sorcs and reapers.

    But yeah, I did use the guide just after 2 days of playing and it HELPED A LOT, boosting from 15 to 25 fps in velika is significant for my potato.

    I'd rather they give us some sort of answers like "we don't want to do it" instead of just ignoring it.

    110% agree but players have always asked for this and they'd never fix it though there are such detailed guides online to fix this, all they can do is copy paste that code and improve on THAT code wherever they feel should change while still keeping into consideration to have the game low res for low end laptops and the game can do so much better, but i doubt they'd do that .. dont get your hopes up.

    I believe all EME needs to do is tweak S1EngineDefault.ini using some (not all) of the Bernkastel's optimization guide tips and that will fix the problems of many, without them having to mess with ini files themselves. But as always, there may be other reasons why the default ini stays as it is. And I don't believe is has to do with only developer wishes.

    I believe is not hard to tweak the graphic engine it's just the matter of want to do it or not.
    Example World of Warcraft. Is a old game but at least they improve the graphic engine.

    Tera is using Unreal Engine 3 and thus BHS can't mess with engine itself as they lack skill. What they could do is update textures, animations, skill effects to optimize a little bit.

    Another thing they could do is to migrate to a newer Unreal Engine 4, but again they need skill for that as well. And after wasting so much development money on "other things" than Tera (it's reported that they used 200 mil USD on Tera), they don't have the kind of cash needed to start such a big project.

    Cheers.
    P.S. YellowGem pretty much sums up how things are.

    Migrating to a new engine is an incredibly costly thing to do. Anyone who says otherwise simply doesn't understand what writing software isn't just about making some changes and releasing it to the world! There is a risk associated with any change. If you change the engine the risk is massive. The cost is not so much changing the engine itself, but dealing with the consequences. This is why some bugs are never fixed, becuase the risk is deemed to be far more than the gain.

    The game will be optimized if there's ever a Tera 2, :awesome:

    Also, even changing a simple, unrelated thing in one part of the code, and lemme repeat, a completely unrelated thing, can damage other parts of the code for what appears to be absolutely no reason. I assume some bugs exist and haven't been repaired because repairing them would probably mean bugs opening in other pars of the game, again, for no reason other than #thiscodeistroll >.<

    I have stated on another thread that I'm a software developer. And yes, it is super costly for them to change anything if the codes are messy in the first place such as recoding everything that takes months even up to years if they want it really good.

    I'm not here to rant. I'm just giving out what I feel as an user just like how an user feels if my program behaves like this. Personally, I'd give up profit for optimization and consistency (e.g. stop releasing new stuff and focus on fixing old stuff). But BHS have different view on this and it's perfectly fine.

    Well I'm a firmware engineer too. I know the risk to modify the coding but u can test it before release it.
    We all do that even for those software that has been release to market for years.
    Not to complain but this game has been so many years yet no improvement in graphic engine.
