Feature request: Control of experimental visual effects/features

Post by Norman W. »

The request based on the #6430 issue.

My Zen2 iGPU in 09/07 release encounters large performance regression compared to the 2026-0203, it falls significantly below 60 FPS.

When I've first noticed that FPS falls to 20 at start from the dock - I was scared of thoughts that I've broken something in my laptop or system. But that was just new visual effects.

So I'm attaching this video to the post so the devs can compare the performance changing with updates:

There's the 0907 performance change on the same hardware (3 videos):

Otherwise I'd even like if the effects would be arcade, retro-like for me as an option, so they would not disturb my CPU much =)

My request: Control or possibility to disable experimental visual effects/features that influence on the game performance.

And there other bugs, such as radar failure, when you select a target or orbiting a planet. So, I'd like to stay on 0203 yet. Can I request for the 0907 to be re-released?
