We all get quests at the same time and then do them all together.  Don't see this as a game breaking issue.

Not true.  Only the intro quest is solo.  The others you get get shared and you can do them cooperatively

My friend Scotti and I each have our own dedicated servers.  We both did 10k RWG worlds with completely different seeds.  I was playing on his after playing on for a few hours and it dawned on me that the starting town with Rekt in it.....was exactly the same as mine. Is this intentional? ...

One of the biggest performance hits of large cities were all the windows, especially in the skyscrapers, and caused a bunch of overhead due to unnecessary draw calls.  @faatal has posted previously about how windows were rewritten to be much more performant.  That and other optimizations that...

I -really- wish this could get backported to a20, but I know it's too big of a change to be reasonable for that. This is one of the top things I'm looking forward to for a21.  Can't wait!

I have had this same issue.  Looking at the center of a large city will drop the frame rate into the 30’s and 40’s on my 2080 super even when running @ 1080p60 with gfx quality set to medium and motion blur disabled.  Look away from city center and it is back to 60fps. Will try experimenting...

Did a fresh install of a20 on a linux server via steamcmd (I have command line access to this server) At some point during RWG for an 8k map, the server crashes with this in the output log: 2021-12-06T15:31:40 1095.307 INF WorldGenerator:Wilderness Prefabs Spawned 103 Caught fatal signal -...

You could say the same thing about a lot of people who watch Sportsball events (Football, basketball, baseball, etc).   It really isn't any different than that.

Short answer: Yes, shadows are computationally expensive (hard). Longer answer (from 2015, but still valid): In Video Games Why Are Shadows So Hard To Render

I would like to second this request….

I seem to remember a paint/texture discussion somewhere in this A20 diary thread too.  I don't recall any discussion of it being taken away.

^^^^ This is what Madmole mentioned several pages back. Honestly, I can't wait for it to be implemented.  Having that many block upgrades certainly didn't add to the fun for me.  Here's what the man himself had to say to those who think he's ruining the game:   

Thank god.... I thought I was going nuts when the FPS would seemingly tank for no reason. Looking forward to this future update
