New Tutorial Performance?

Admittedly...I run on an old laptop...so I know this is my problem.

The revamped Atlas Park gives me severe lag issues. However, I grind through the first 5 levels quick...because I have to start in Atlas.

I don't have issues anywhere else...which is nice.

Will I run into the same problems with the new tutorial that I run into with Atlas Park?

Probably. You'll also run into the same problems if you ever go to Praetoria (including First Ward).

I don't have much trouble with Atlas Park, unless it's crowded, but the tutorial with all the Shivans can give me all sorts of graphics lag. Likewise, Arachnos bases with all the perforated steel (i.e. all those holes making the walls and floors see-through).

The odd thing is that this graphics lag is very inconsistent. I'll do the tutorial or a mission inside an Arachnos base and the lag just kills me, and then I'll do the tutorial on a different character or do another mission in a virtually identical Arachnos base and everything will be smooth like butter.

I starting to wonder how many of the graphical elements in the game are stored on my hard drive (4.06GB seems awfully small for a game this size), and how much is being streamed at me "on demand". Streaming would be one explanation for why the same scenario is laggy one time and perfectly smooth the next time.

All of the graphics are stored on your harddrive. Everything is compressed into the .piggs which is why the file size seems to be small. The game expands these out to full size.
