Hey there!

I really enjoy the demo of Aloft and wish for the full game to become a success.
The biggest problem I see with this game, is the performance concerning the render distance and ONLY the render distance.

During some testing close to 3 islands, on the lowest settings, I found out that setting the render distance from low (99% fps: 99) to medium (99% fps: 55) cost me an average of 40-60 FPS.
My PC is on the high end side and the GPU and CPU with all graphical option bumped to max never went above ~65% workload utilisation.

Apart from the render distance all other graphical options, including lowering the game's resolution does not affect performance more than ~5-7%.

I sincerely hope that render distance performance will be addressed and improved significantly until release.

Thanks for reading.
