⚡ PRIMAL PLANET UPDATE #4 – Optimisation

[p]Hey everyone![/p][p]Today I’m bringing you an update that’s been the most requested lately: ⚡ optimisation.[/p][p][/p][h3]🖥️ Tested on Lower-End Machines[/h3][p][/p][p]Thanks to this update, Primal Planet should now run better on lower-end machines — slightly older laptops and PCs should be able to handle the game much more smoothly.[/p][p]I tested the new build on an older laptop, and it ran surprisingly well:[/p]
  • [p]OS: Windows 10 64-bit[/p]
  • [p]Processor: Intel Core i3-7100U @ 2.40GHz[/p]
  • [p]Memory: 6 GB RAM[/p]
  • [p]Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 620 (Integrated)[/p]
  • [p]DirectX: Version 11[/p]
[p]Note: The game was tested on integrated graphics. Performance may vary depending on your setup.[/p][p][/p][p]What’s more:[/p][p][/p][h3]💡 Visual Lighting[/h3][p][/p][p]Primal Planet features a Visual Lighting system that kicks in during sunrise, sunset, and nighttime — casting the world into darkness, while things like fire, glowing objects, and the player light up their surroundings.[/p][p]This adds a lot of atmosphere, but it can also impact performance.[/p][p]To help with that, there’s now an option to disable Visual Lighting in the PC version:
Settings → Accessibility → Visual Lighting (OFF)[/p][p]If you’re on a lower-end machine and still having performance issues, try turning Visual Lighting off to boost your framerate.[/p][p][/p][h3] Previous updates:[/h3][p][/p][p]Since the release of Primal Planet, I’ve published three major updates: [dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Thanks for playing and supporting Primal Planet 💚[/p][p]
