    Well unfortunately that's not the solution for everyone.

    Wether it runs on Ubuntu or Windows 10 I got the same lag in major cities.

    This game is very intensive on hardware, you may need better stuff. I don't lag in game at all, in fact I can run it in full HD on my main monitor with graphics on high and then also fire up a win7 virtual machine (VMWare Workstation) on a second monitor with 16 gigs of ram and run a second SOTA (sons account) is lower quality resolutions at the same time on the same computer. This one lags because it well is a VM. I'm running a GTX980.

    Now my sons laptop that could play a lot of newer games at lower resolution cant play SOTA at all without major lag.

    I believe they said R30 has DirectX 11/12 support which may help us all.

    Are we talking network latency or GPU framerates, here?

    Nope. I've tried it in Win7 and Win10, frame rates are identical (within 1FPS). If anything Frame rates are lower in Win10 due to excessive context switching from a higher number of background processes in a default build.

    The title of this thread is inaccurate, in my opinion, and will lead many people down the path of Windows 10, which is a false positive/red herring. Given the massive privacy issues with Windows 10, I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemies, never mind my gaming community of friends.

    Sorry if it could be misleading....I have no financial deal with windows 10 (unfortunately)...it is just my personal experience...

    P.S.
    I will change title...

    As has been mentioned, what you call 'lag' may not be latency related at all.

    What is your latency to the shroud servers? as in, actual milliseconds mean/median/modal averages for more than 60 seconds?
    What is your framerate in Ardoris, vs an underground/mining scene?
    How many pieces of malware did you have (unknown to you) running in Win7?
    Are you on an SSD? Spinning rust? Just re-installing win7 on spinning rust can show massive improvements due to fragmentation issues.

    Here's a bet. I'll bet you this shiny imaginary coin of great value that if you re-installed Win7 from scratch, your "lag" would be gone too. :)

    I'm only experienced (frame rate issues) when crossing a lot boundary in towns. That was fixed after a patch, and not sure what the cause was. However, as far as hardware goes I'm working with a best cause scenario (SSD, tons of RAM, high end graphics card) so even at 3440 X 1440 and maxed settings I'm not having much of an issue. I'm not sure optimizations have been done to the software yet, at least not a full pass so I'm sure things may change a little.

    I wish I could adjust the pop in distance. I hate seeing a lot and the home, only to have the walls and deco pop in at a relatively short distance.

    I wish, optionally, I could turn off all non-vendor player-owned assets in any scene. :) Talk about getting back frame rate.

    Xail are you on "insider build" 14342 or 14328 ?
    for me Windows 10 was slower than windows 8.1 ... but after 14328 upgrade .. the os seems faster like 8.1...

    I use OSX.

    Upgrading to Windows 10 would actually be a downgrade for me...;)

    His lag was due to frame rates, not latency. Without knowing, id bet he had 32 bit windows 7 and had more ram than it was using, windows 10 may be more compatible with his system. Just my guess.. Unless Arga nailed it with fragmentation, and spyware/malware on his older OS

    i've also a mac.. and i still play on the same machine with windows 10... game is faster than on the stock OS... and well.. purple things? for months on mac i see the fire elemental completely purple... some thing for a lot of obejcts and shadows.. now seems fixed.. but Unity is a good (just good) engine just on Windows and Linux... macOS unity is developed slowly... (this remember me when oculus rift creators says: "
    Oculus Rift will support Macs 'when Apple makes a good computer'")

    just my 2 cents... nothing to say about Apple computer HARDWARE ... but personally love the computer evolution... and Apple ore doing nothing new on OSX ... Microsoft / Redhat / Debian / Google Android are changing OS's and human interfaces very very fast...maybe this is an issue for a lot of users.. but we are on 2016... and Apple users are using an interface 10 or more years old... (on smartphones and on PCs)

    SORRY FOR THE "OT"

    Game badly needs optimising, lag and fps issues plague this title. Obviously the games still in beta but I hope it gets sorted before final wipe as not everyone has a top end pc.

    Huh, never had that problem. To bad for you.

    OK by me. I'd rather Apple focus on the great usability features they've been giving me for decades instead of dimestore, WalMart-esque headpieces for dorks.
