• Fixed FPS degradation from particles when using advanced shaders.

Does this still makes the game harder to run in slow PCs (like integrated card laptop)? I never noticed this was even an option

Why would you be using advanced shaders on a slow PC (like with an integrated graphics chip in a laptop)? It is clearly labeled with a note stating "(High performance impact)":



Just because the performance of this feature has been improved to fix FPS degradation from particles does not mean it is now optimized to not have a high performance impact.

Can someone do a test like in this thread and confirm it's actually fixed? It feels like this bug is turning into "hardware issue".

Why can't you? Again, you should not be running advanced shaders on a potato PC, but there's nothing stopping you from turning it on and running a test, and then turning it off and running a test, if you have issues with this feature.

Because I never checked the option and never noticed that tbh
