Performance differences between higher-end AMD and Nvidia video cards
We are aware of performance differences between higher-end AMD and Nvidia video cards, wherein AMD users may see a lowered performance. Our teams are actively working to further optimize impacted AMD video cards.
Crash when pressing a hotkey while using a third-party IME
We are investigating reports of third-party IME programs causing a crash. We recommend using the Microsoft IME while this is investigated.
Gameplay
Changes in the terrain through the Fog of War
At times, you may be able to see changes in the terrain through the Fog of War, as a few terrain and topographical items are being worked on.
Pause when pressing “Save”
Occasionally, users may see a small pause when pressing “Save” if they have a large number of save files stored. Users with a large number of Campaign and Skirmish save files may notice a slight slowdown when pressing “Save” on subsequent uses.
Performance drops when panning the camera across the map
You may notice performance drops when panning the camera across the map, as the game loads in the required textural terrain. Based on input from internal testing, our technical stress tests, and community feedback, this performance drop when panning the camera should quickly correct itself and should not significantly impact gameplay. We have a fix coming for this.
Mastery progress is not tracked across saves
Mastery progress is not tracked across saves, meaning you cannot partially complete a Mastery, save, load, and then unlock the Mastery.
Part Of The Game
Sometimes things can seem like an issue that is actually a part of the game’s design. Here are some of those unique “issues” with the reasoning as to why they are the way they are. This does not mean they cannot be changed, but that they should be treated as a discussion rather than a bug.
