1. ⚡ PRIMAL PLANET UPDATE #4 – Optimisation
  2.  
  3. Hey everyone!
  4.  
  5. Today I’m bringing you an update that’s been the most requested lately: ⚡ optimisation.

  8. 🖥️ Tested on Lower-End Machines
  9.  
  10. Thanks to this update, Primal Planet should now run better on lower-end machines — slightly older laptops and PCs should be able to handle the game much more smoothly.
  11.  
  12. I tested the new build on an older laptop, and it ran surprisingly well:
  13.  
  14. OS: Windows 10 64-bit
  15.  
  16. Processor: Intel Core i3-7100U @ 2.40GHz
  17.  
  18. Memory: 6 GB RAM
  19.  
  20. Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 620 (Integrated)
  21.  
  22. DirectX: Version 11
  23.  
  24. Note: The game was tested on integrated graphics. Performance may vary depending on your setup.

  27. What’s more:

  30. 💡 Visual Lighting
  31.  
  32. Primal Planet features a Visual Lighting system that kicks in during sunrise, sunset, and nighttime — casting the world into darkness, while things like fire, glowing objects, and the player light up their surroundings.
  33.  
  34. This adds a lot of atmosphere, but it can also impact performance.
  35.  
  36. To help with that, there’s now an option to disable Visual Lighting in the PC version:
  37. Settings → Accessibility → Visual Lighting (OFF)
  38.  
  39. If you’re on a lower-end machine and still having performance issues, try turning Visual Lighting off to boost your framerate.
