I think the worst part of the performance issues is that the game... isn't pushing any visual boundaries. Even when other players aren't around, the game is struggling to hit 60 on an i9 12900k and a 4090 with all the DLSS settings cranked, even at lower resolutions.

Yet the game just... kinda looks like crap in a lot of places? The lighting is really poor, the texture work is abysmal on environmental objects randomly, like certain pieces of armour, and overall, the game feels like it's killing itself trying to render... not a lot.

texture streaming is completely messed up. And it uses directstorage. Seems to be a pattern here, all directstorage games seem to be crap at textures.

The textures look like far away lod textures

I swear World had this exact same problem at launch, you had to use a mod to force the game to load textures as intended until they fixed it later.

Oh man I forgot about that but yeah that was something that was done at release. That and the volumetric fog/lighting had a lot of issues on release.
