All this will be uploaded as part of few upcoming patches prior to Open Beta launch for additional testing. The Open Beta is to feature the new Interchange location, new quests, weapons, equipment and other items. Beside technical preparations for OBT, we are balancing everything there already is in the game, add new content and key features.In general, we can say with confidence that there is still considerable potential for optimization.For example, the new Interchange location is done with full employment of the new methods, and after its release, we’ll be sure to optimize all the old maps as well.

We have introduced new additional means of optimizing locations.We are refactoring physics, optimizing animation system and simplify the animation events. The first two reasons take up more than a half of overall game performance, so we are focused on fixing and optimizing these components. EFT is putting CPU under quite a stress, and the main causes of low performance are the following: physics, animation system, in-game logic, CPU-based graphics processing. Investigating and repairing all possible causes of abnormally high CPU load.Fixing server-side errors that lead to significant drops in the performance of the server application, resulting in consecutive desyncs and disconnects.
