What your iGPU is? We'll definitely try to make it run on a wider range of hardware post-jam, but as mentioned by my colleague, we had no prior experience with this engine, so we failed to include graphics quality options. I guess on lower end machines we can use reflection planes and forward shading, instead of SSR and deferred shading.

There's definitely something wrong with engine settings as we've seen poor performance (<30 fps) on 2070Super if it runs a 4k monitor. It shouldn't be that bad, as SSR shouldn't be that expensive per pixel, possibly there's some engine settings which scale badly with resolution. We'll figure it out post jam :)

No worries about it. I was trying some cloth simulation and messed it up. Thats what a jam is supposed to be, trying something new.

I tried it with an Ryzen 4300GE (35W). Certainly not a gaming rig but it handles most of the jam games without a hitch and it does a good job of finding entries that are not optimized :)

The CPU utilization is very low however the iGPU is at 100% all the time. I suspect the dithering to be the culprit as it requires a ton of bandwidth and that is something iGPUs are really bad at. Try dialing it down (or disable it temporarily to see if its makes a difference). I would not be surprised if disabling dithering will double the framerate. Of course SSR and motion blur have their own costs on top of that but they are fairly well optimized.

Thanks for the info, we'll try to see if that's indeed the case. I just need to find lowspec GPU or iGPU to figure out if that would be enough, or if we'll need to go forward shading route for this kind of specs.
