Sadly, no. The forum is full of complaints of people with good hardware and horrible performance.
I own many early access games and that happens when they launch the unoptimized game, and over time it gets mostly fixed. Doesnt happen a day before final release xD
Im already in the ww3 with graphics etc…but I came to forums due to performance, and that is another whole, bloody war.
Iirc we both have 970, which for me still delivers rocky fps on new games at high settings, and despite I managed to get decent fps here with a couple workarounds (disable mouse cursor lag, go borderless window) I have a strong opinion on how unoptimized this game is.
Yes, im giving you the reason to another concept you gave: performance may be a good reason (excuse) to have cut shadows / lightning…
but hey, I try to own every rts / turn based strategy game…well, any game I like, and its not impossible to deliver the graphics from that mod or the current gameplay graphics trailer with good performance. Its just a matter of time and money.
I’d prefer to avoid giving names and making comparisons…but there are early access, indie rts, that have better graphics, and can even swap from fps to rts (eximius and ecen one or two more)
Oh, maybe you say the engine has limitations too: there you’d now giving me the reason to a previous concept I and many others said: theb, another good motive to have Reforged the game on sc2 engine.

But the feel of the game is intimately tied to the engine (hitboxes, even bugs). PLUS, it would destroy all the custom maps made for the game. Also, SC2 engine is already 10 years old, it’s not new anymore.
As for performance, it really depends what you play. On my end it lags in huge 4v4 battles but in 1v1 I get constant 60 fps. I really think people should mention this.
I’m not saying the graphics of that mod are impossible on a modern engine but certain features will be much harder to optimize due to old tech. It’s exactly the same in WOW, Shadows are a HUGE performance hit, especially in raids.

Its almost like they realized, given all those problems conflicting with each other, than they shouldnt even have started developing reforged…one year before release.
edit: but decided to deliver what they could, to not communicate, keep advertising what really convinced customers, and even offering refunds in case of disappointment, in the very release hype email…
Wait, the mail is real?!!
I hope it’s not real. It would be a new low for Blizzard. This can’t be real, it’s too lame.
It’s real, but a few things about it
1- It was sent out back in December to people who prepurchased
2- It was meant to inform the release date pushback to Jan. 28
3- It offered refunds since it was technically breaking its ‘On of Before Dec. 31st’ pre-purchase release date, which in some countries has some legal issues if they don’t provide refunds
4- It was technically not a hype email.

Good to know, still very wtf’y, but not as bad as being sent today XDD
They are expensive when they are TRASH optimized of course. In 2020. with 4+ core cpus, hyperthreading etc… it shouldnt be expensive with this game.
Its too dark. Would be a mess in fights. Units needs to be brighter with unique distinction marks on them.
