I wonder if toggling the mesh option effects that or not?Ever since U66 landed I have noticed an impactful graphical bug, and I'd like to know if it's related to the FPS issue or if it's something else entirely:
The looks of other players' models (and of other things, but its easiest to notice on player models) change when I get further away from them compared to how they look when I'm close to them. This is most striking when viewing characters with heavy VFX, such as Fire Sorcs etc (but it doesn't affect just the heavy VFX, every single model is altered noticeably). It's somewhat as if my Draw Distance is set to "medium", and the game lowers the graphical detail of things that are not immediately next to me.
This bug wasn't there prior to U66. For the record I have all my graphics settings maxed out, and the bug exists in both fullscreen and windowed. I didn't change any settings on DDO or my PC.
Below are some screenshots showcasing the issue.
You're sure there wasn't a graphics driver update, a windows update, a nvidia or amd or intel graphics panel options program update, a reset of those outside game graphics options, etc?
Later this week?!?! Just roll back the last update until you have a proper fix. How hard is that?!?!
That can be very tricky. Unless patches are designed to removable, rolls back like that aren't just a simple fix; could easily devolve into having to roll back to prior server data too and no wants to lose a week's worth of data.
Always possible, but it seems unlikely. Even if this is the case, they could have (should have) done a roll back on Friday... resulting in a 1 day loss? maybe. Given how little I (and others) have been playing because of the performance bug, it would have been a win to lose a single day of progress.
I would look into your Player Crowd Size and Texture Cache Settings, see if adjustments make a difference.Ever since U66 landed I have noticed an impactful graphical bug, and I'd like to know if it's related to the FPS issue or if it's something else entirely:

We generally try to avoid a formal rollback unless absolutely necessary, in part due to it meaning that people who had updated their game clients would most likely need a complete reinstallation. In this case, we immediately began working on a fix, and as soon as it is possible to get it out, it will be.
We are considering it! We'll have more info on the timing of the Anniversary Event soon.
No. In my view SSG should roll back the game software to 66.0.0, while leaving character data as is. Take the servers down, "update" the game code to 66.0.0 (call it 66.0.2 if needed to force the client to update) and bring the servers back up.
Maybe it depends on what instances you go into or how much your computer can take? I agree that some have it worse than others, exaggeration isn't the issue, it's awful for many people.
Neither of these suggestions fixed the FPS issue for me.
Havent done windows 10 update in 18 mths and updated nvidia video card drivers 6 months ago to play a game that demanded it (COD).
I don't think Cord's response for those suggestions were anything to do with FPS; pretty sure they were entirely in response to the weird draw distance issue the Blonde was seeing on player's models.
Because if your at under 30 fps and don't know it, you can enter the quest than start dropping more than can't move.
Same here. Apart from doing the mechanics of a TR, eating XP stones until level 3 and gearing up... nothing. Sitting outside the first quest dreading questing until the game performance issue is resolved.
