Greetings Warlords!

There have been some dissonant noises and some violations of the game's rules in the game recently. Some players have used hack on the battlefield. Some have used farm bot to level up quickly, and some have spread inappropriate words in the game. It all affects the environment of our entire Conqueror's Blade community.

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/835570/view/2996562204135651693

We want all generals can enjoy the pure joy that the combat brings and will have the best gaming experience without disturbed by any violation.

Therefore, we'd like to take this chance to remind you all: we have recently noticed a big increase in accounts being flagged for using hacks, as well as websites selling accounts and phishing software. Do not try to use any of these simply due to curiosity, as doing so may lead to financial losses, and is highly likely to compromise your account's security. Any usage of cheating software will lead to your account being banned.

The following is the latest name list of violators and their punishments:



We will continue to monitor the gaming status of the above players, and if the same violations occur again, they will be subject to more severe penalties.

In order to create a healthy environment for the community, and better everyone's gaming experience, the Conqueror's Blade Operations Team will be unwavering in our fight against hack or farm bot. We won't let slide any uncivilized language in any channel. Warlords are welcome to report any of the above game violations to us. As long as we work together, we can surely create a friendly and stable gaming environment. Thanks for your support of the Conqueror's Blade.

Meanwhile, some issues or exceptions in game might be caused by bugs or an unstable network. If you are uncertain if someone is cheating, you can send us a message to our report e-mail. Once we've verified the situation, we'll deal with them appropriately, and punish them severely should they be using hacks.

Support

If you have any questions about the results of our process or need to make a complaint, please also contact us at the above email address.

Conqueror's Blade Operations Team

[h2]Greetings, Warlords![/h2]
In the previous live broadcast, the development team sincerely delivered a stage-by-stage report to our Warlords while unveiling a 20 million dollar Project Nirvana.

Project Nirvana is the first step in the evolution of Conqueror's Blade. Optimization is difficult, and the road ahead is long, but everyone in the Conqueror's Blade development team has confidence in resolving every issue we face. We kindly ask for your patience and understanding, and to give us more time to make improvements.

After the last live stream, we initiated Project Nirvana and determined to optimize the game's performance and improve the frame rate for a better 'Nirvana Horse' version!

Nowadays, the Nirvana Horse version is officially launched, and we have submitted the first round of Project Nirvana assignments to the Warlords. At this moment, the sound of each Warlords is especially important.

Soon, we will start the online live stream again and talk to Warlords about the events of the Project Nirvana.

Live broadcast time: November 11th, 14:00 (UTC+8)
Live streaming URL: https://www.twitch.tv/conquerorsbladedevs

An important point! Thanks to the support of numerous Warlords, the number of backers for Project Nirvana has reached the highest tier. In this live broadcast, we will also distribute the first wave of rewards for the support activities! 10 Mate 60 phones (or equivalent-value 4070 graphics cards) will be given away online, and there will be mysterious surprises dropping during the live broadcast! We sincerely await every Warlords in the live streaming room!

[h2] Our performance optimization strategy:[/h2]

• While maintaining the visual effects, ensure the consistency of the highest quality graphics and optimize any unreasonable performance allocation. For example, supplement the models, special effects, and animations with a more complete LOD, and reduce the performance consumption of faraway scenes.
  
  
• Redesign the underlying program code, using better strategies to restructure the underlying logic.
  
  
• More detailed and reasonable default settings have been applied for different levels of graphics, and more graphics options are now available. These settings are finely tuned to achieve a better balance between visual quality and performance. No effects have been removed. they are just allocated more reasonably. Players can also customize the options according to their personal preferences, and performance will be improved compared to before under the same graphics quality.
  

[h2] Specific modifications:[/h2]

[h3] While maintaining visual effects, modify art materials and optimize unreasonable performance allocation[/h3]
Models, special effects, animations, UI, and sound art resources have been reset or modified, including but not limited to:

• Over 300 Hero models, 500+ Weapon models, and 100+ Horse equipment models, along with related animation files.
  
• Over 300+ Unit entities, horse models, Attires, and related animation files are included.
  
• Over 8,000 scene object models
  
• Over 5,600+ character scene effects
  
• 500+ UI Materials
  
• 50+ music materials, 13,000+ sound effect materials.
  

Combine similar items and remove complex objects in over 40 scenes, including but not limited to:

• Reducing the complexity of the model combination.
  
• Combining models of the same type to reduce the absolute number and the number of triangular surfaces.
  
• Modifying the distant scenery vegetation to reduce the performance consumption of faraway scenes.
  

[h3] Refactoring the underlying code, the following underlying systems have undergone code refactoring:
[/h3]
Graphics-related systems:

• Optimizing materials, shadows, and lighting, among other graphic algorithms to reduce the GPU's computational overhead.
  
• Optimizing static objects, dynamic objects, trees, and other models' clipping algorithms to reduce the CPU consumption of submitting rendering commands.
  
• Optimizing the graphics system DrawCall batch submission algorithm.
  
• Loading certain textures selectively, and reducing the usage of video memory and RAM.
  
• Adjusting the task scheduling strategy of the graphic system, and making better use of CPU resources.
  
• The rendering algorithms for highlighted objects and semi-transparent objects have been optimized.
  
• For special effects, particles, decals, and other systems, more reasonable budget control strategies are used in high, medium, and low settings.
  
• The performance effect after a Unit's death has been optimized.
  

Client-related System:

• Cleaning up 11 unsuitable UI interfaces in the game.
  
• UI system rendering and logic optimization for 58 interfaces.
  
• The soldier creation system is optimized to avoid sudden lags when recruiting at supply points.
  
• Optimizing the Point Capture system logic.
  
• Optimizing the logic of the Season Challenges system.
  
• Optimizing the system logic for changing levels.
  
• Optimizing the logic of the Unit in Formation system.
  
• The script system's garbage collection mechanism has been optimized, reducing occasional lagging issues.
  
• Optimizing the LOD algorithms for animation, particles, and special effects systems to balance both visual quality and performance requirements.
  

Other Systems:

• Optimizing audio effects, UI, Devastate, fabric, and other System synchronization Materials creation logic to avoid lags during the Create process.
  
• Optimizing the frame rate smoothing algorithm to avoid large fluctuations.
  
• Optimizing the multithread scheduling for new Intel CPUs, and making better use of CPU resources.
  
• Fixing a series of crashes caused by multi-threading issues.
  
• We have made more refined and reasonable default configurations for different levels of graphics settings, and also opened up more customization options. These settings have been adjusted to provide a more balanced visual and performance experience.
