ATTN: Weavers,

We are still investigating a performance issue causing some players to experience extremely low framerates, often around 5-9 FPS, in missions after completing the tutorial.

The issue appears to be caused by our multithreading settings not working correctly with some high-core-count CPUs.

If you are experiencing this issue, congratulations on your high-end CPU. Unfortunately, RIFTSTORM currently appears to be intimidated by it.

While we work on a permanent fix, please use the following workaround:

Open Options
Select Settings
Change Thread Count to 2

This should substantially improve performance for affected players.

We apologize for the disruption and will share another update once a permanent fix is ready.

Thank you for your patience.
