Earlier this month me and many others found troubles with the FPS ingame, not only at cities where the snowmen and the snowflakes were. The FPS troubles were everywhere. I own a very good computer, so I wouldn't have troubles with it and I didn't have that before. I noticed a couple days ago after a update that it has been fixed for me, how about you guys?

Also, thank you PWCN/PWI for fixing it. b:victory

    The FPS drop is from the snowmen...pretty sure it doesnt matter where you are it still should cause some extra load on the game.

    Seems so. Such a good feeling they are finally gone now. They lasted for a long time.

    It just needs to be noted that the FPS hasn't been fixed per-say. While it's true that the snow and snowmen are gone, that doesn't impact how the game runs very much. Each snowman uses the same mob-model, so at best, your internet is more than likely to blame for having issues more-so than the computer you are running on. The snowmen can't use much processing power, because the system doesn't need to continue rendering multiple mob IDs or snow effects. The server, however, must tell your client multiple times that there is a new mob "here". The snow is static, so the server can send one request to your client and it will be available.

    Most likely what is being experienced is either:
    -Lag through your internet/regional hub
    -Placebo effect of having too many things on the screen, resulting in one believing things are slower
    -Perhaps it's true, but in order to notice a drop in frames from the snowmen, one would have to do some serious work

    Also, the title of this thread is somewhat misleading. No core changes in the game engine pertaining to performance, optimization, or graphics have been worked on from Wanmei or the non-existent developers of PWE.
