@Lucard said in ADJUST TEXTURE QUALITY:

Many people I've talked to play at lower resolutions because the game slows down significantly at higher settings. For example, at a resolution of 2560x1080, the game puts a heavy load on the graphics card, causing problems with smooth gameplay.
Personally, I went down to 1366x768 resolution, which significantly improved performance. However, I have a monitor tuned to 2560x1080 and I would like to be able to use this resolution without worrying about performance drops. That's why I suggest introducing an option to lower the graphics quality in the game.
Many games offer the option to adjust texture quality, which allows you to increase performance without changing the resolution. Such an option in Fractured Online could be extremely helpful for players who want to enjoy full image quality on large monitors, but still need better performance.
The ability to adjust graphics settings, such as the quality of textures, shadows or special effects, would allow players to optimize the experience according to their hardware. This would allow us to avoid the frustration of lags and slowdowns during intense gameplay.
Additionally, the option to automatically adjust graphics settings based on a player's hardware specifications could be a great solution. Such a system could analyze the capabilities of the graphics card and processor and adjust the settings to ensure smooth gameplay.
Making such changes would not only improve the gaming experience for existing users, but could also attract new players who are looking for a title with proper optimization. After all, everyone wants to enjoy the game at the highest level without worrying about performance.

I did not write that the game runs slowly, I wrote clearly that it loads the card a lot, which heats up and draws a lot from the battery... I have a GTX 3070 . Everything runs smoothly. However, I would like the power to use the battery a little longer... The game consumes a lot of power by stressing the graphics card. Is it so difficult to understand ? in 1366x768 is great however it is not the resolution that is comfortable. Hence it would be enough to lower the quality of textures.

Does it hurt you ? After all, you are not the ones who programing this game. I am not writing to you. This is a request to the developers.

the slider , or are you just being obtuse now?

obtuse? we have to throw insults right away??

i would like to note that the first slider is not used to lower the quality of textures ! do you even know what it means ?
The second one is obviously frame rate.

@destroyerdeathsmane

Where ?

Fractured Online is a game with immense potential, especially for players who love trading, transporting goods, and building economies. The vast game world, the ability to travel between cities, and the charm of traversing trade routes on horseback are features that attract fans of economic gameplay. However, the current limits on the number of market orders are a significant restriction and do not reflect the scale of possibilities offered by the game’s world.

The problem with current limits
Currently, players can only place 20 orders on a standard account and 40 orders on a premium account. This limitation is not only insufficient but actively restricts a key element of gameplay: trading. Compared to other titles like Ultima Online, EVE Online, or Albion Online, where trading freedom and complex market systems are the norm, the current limits in Fractured Online feel overly restrictive.

Why should limits be increased?
Boost Market Dynamics – Allowing more orders would create a more diverse and healthy market where players can compete instead of being forced to minimize their activities.
Support for Traders – Trading is one of the most engaging aspects of sandbox games. Expanding this feature would attract players who enjoy economic gameplay.
Realistic representation of the game world – The vast world of Fractured Online encourages travel and trade between cities. Higher order limits would fully utilize the potential of this mechanic.
Appeal to economic players – Players interested in trading make up a significant portion of the sandbox gaming community. Easing trade restrictions would enhance the game’s appeal and attract new players.

Suggested Changes
To enable players to fully enjoy the market system, i propose:

Increasing the order limit to at least 100 for standard accounts.
Alternatively, removing the order cap entirely, allowing players to expand their trading empires freely.
Introducing new mechanics, such as pack animals like oxen, to enhance the logistics and transportation aspect of trading.

Trading is the heart of a healthy economy in sandbox games. Expanding this feature in Fractured Online would make the game more attractive and bring in players who value economic freedom. The current limit of 20–40 orders is inadequate for the scale of the game and discourages players who want to engage in serious trading.

I urge the developers to consider these changes. Improving the trading system could be a key factor that sets Fractured Online apart from competitors and builds a long-term, engaged player community. Share your thoughts and support this initiative – together, we can help Fractured Online reach its full potential!
