What does everyone think? Can you tell the difference? Thank you all for watching & don't forget to checkout the official Action RPG Discord: discord.gg/YHa2UGhFQ5
Aaron does the engine upgrade also fix the memory leak? Do you have any info?
There is no difference whatsoever for me, my build has huge aoe and they still give massive fps dips into the 30ies and this is on a 9800X3D and an RTX4080. i'm very dissapointed. a 2019 engine upgrade into a 2021 version but it is 2025... DLSS might help in the future but meh.
Hey Aaron, have you ever considered uploading in 1440p for YT? Point being, if you are showcasing 4k max settings, but render the file down and out to 1080p, the loss in data for that visual clarity becomes very apparent and it makes it harder to differentiate any in-game visual upgrades. As minor as they may be...
LE is the best designed ARPG, far better design wise than POE2 or D4 but it really needs to get better at making money and expand its dev team.
Hey - this video is funny to me, because i started playing LE again after getting bored of poe2 (200+ hours) and when i came back , i was like "Hm, did they change something? The graphics look a bit better, my character feels more high-res or something? Is that it? Idk - but something changed for the better here" and then you release this info LOL - so yeah, as someone, who took a long break (hadn't played 1.1) , i definitely notice the change - looks much better!
And hey, i think LE is developing nicely - people forget, how poe1 was in the beginning in terms of big updates. It took them a while, until Chris said the famous sentence "Good news, we are now at a point, where we can reliably release a new league every 3 months), it wasn't like that in the beginning, they had to build up the team and have the resources/man-power to actually be able to do that and i see a similar projection for Last Epoch tbh - these long gaps in the beginning are completely normal, especially if you are also improving fundamental stuff, like the engine.
I think once LE can get to at least 1 League every 5 months, that will be the breaking point of "regularity" for them and the players. Also, it is in the players best interest, for there to be multiple competing live-service-ARPGs on the market, you want competition, so no studio gets lazy - i actually think Last Epoch gave both the d4 and poe devs some important ideas already and i just like having an alternative game around, that i can always play. I'm looking forward to more regular league-updates!
Smart choice to split engine upgrade from Season. Looking forward to April.
3rd is where its at, also thanks for covering LE so much. Amazing content as always.
Really looking forward to April. Love LE. I'm patient. Plenty of other things to play like POE 2 which I've been enjoying. Will test out the new engine tonight. Thanks man 👍
Ehg are something else.... putting out updates like this just cause it's ready rather than holding it as a season feature is incredibly oldschool and I love it.
Not sure why you think a engine upgrade would normally be a season feature. Not sure I've ever saw something similar dropped like that
@@metallicafan416 D4 100% would have done that. All of their major fixes were done as part of the seasonal update.
People hate on LE for not having seasons while they prepped the engine upgrade, but I wish D4 had put seasons and the expansion on hold while they fixed the game at launch.
The main issue is the performance when you get to monolith the framerates drops and stutters are massive. They need to fix it
I agree. I have a very high end pc and this is the only game where I have performance issues sometimes.
@@gerbenvanerkelens4475 Because EHG actually can't code worth a damn. The game should not be performing this poorly, given what it is. And, no, that's not all on Unity. Unity is a fine engine. If you know how to use it properly. EHG clearly do not. They're making Unity look bad, they're making C# look bad. Kind of pathetic, tbh.
@sgucjaqgyfepdaue unity was never a good performant engine.
@@MrFroggster Which makes it all the more important to do proper optimization.
*looks at LE's performance*
Nope, no optimization in sight. Although it does perform better with this engine update. For which they obviously had to revisit a lot of their own code. To make it work with the updated engine API. So, maybe they're finally learning how to code. Bit late but, well... better late than never, I guess?
This is the reason I stopped playing. I never would have if this was not an issue, and I'll come back when it's not an issue.
It 100% feels smoother and looks cleaner.
Bro you must be stupid af because they CLEARLY said it was backend, nothing visual
It didnt change anything dude, clearly you are either a bot or an ignorant whiteknight.
It was a backend change to prepare for future updates, there wasnt anything changed performance wise
Jfc
I love how angry this makes you.
I would be hard pressed to believe the game wouldn’t see any benefits at all when migrating from Unity’s 2019 LTS to 2021 LTS. Any improvements unity made to existing systems and pipelines would potentially be felt. The team might not have explicitly changed existing assets but to say it would have 0 impact on the produced executable makes no sense.
If you have evidence to the contrary please share it, but it did feel smoother overall to me. I hadn’t gamed anything in a couple weeks so maybe it’s placebo but you are clearly well informed so please let me know how upgrading Unity LTS has absolutely no impact on the packaged executable. Thanks
Yeah dude.... what the hell like thex says it doesnt change a pizel.
Back to the botfarm for you bot boy.
Even more excited for this than the next season....an engine upgrade is an astronomical task. Cannot wait to try...busy downloading the update now!
I just logged in to LE while the POE2 servers are down. Created a new character just to mess around, and I immediately noticed a difference. I didn't notice the update, so I had to search Last Epoch News in UA-cam to make sure I wasn't crazy. It really looks phenomenal.
Yes i saw the update today and went and try and it’s look much better
Awesome! Loved LE and it's systems. The crafting is dope AF
wow, that's fresh, long live LE !!
I also noticed the visuals changing a bit (for the better). Also less "hitching" during combat. All good!
I played a little this morning and didn't even know they made the upgrade. But i did notice that the Swarmblade (not converted to cold) looks different. Its color palette changed.
hell ya can't wait for April BRING IT EHG!!!
Played the last few days and its a massive improvement!!! Having so much fun back on LE and cant wait for the April update!!
It didnt change anything dude, clearly you are either a bot or an ignorant whiteknight.

@ thanks guess I’m a bot cuz I’m definitely not ignorant lol
@@thex45l35 you are the bot
Looks great, my intended ARPG rotation will include Path of Exile, Path of Exile 2, Last Epoch and Grim Dawn (once Fangs of Asterkarn launches).
Do you have a life?
Is GD going to have graphics update also?
Ur missin torchlight infinite
The game does look and feel better and I don't know if it's placebo or not. The load times seem better and so do the transitions... even some particles effects seem smoother

@@thex45l35 calm down, sir. he clearly stated "if its placebo or not." if you arent familiar with the concept of placebo then please go educate yourself.
Looking forward in April!
I’ll definitely have to load this up tonight. I am about burnt out on PoE2 now. I’m not an “end game grinder” personally, so the lack of drops currently in the main story is disheartening to say the least.
Same
I agree, the game is just not exciting to play
@bunchacolors1501 i was thinkin to go back to d4..but im tir3d too,so tonight last epoch!
I'm getting there too. LE has a better loot system. Filter system. And I feel like I had a better time overall.
New engine is in effect now? Thought it's in April
Almost done my D4 season, POE2 is on cooldown lol. So i need to give this a go for a week and see where we at
I just did a couple monoliths on Steam Deck and yeeees it runs so much smoother!
I agree that itr looks better. The difference is subtle but defnitely there.
Where I notice a big difference is in movement.
The evade / roll is waaay smoother and more responsive than b4.
Yo I just logged in yesterday and already felt like somethings different, like in a good way.
I just returned to the game this week after playing - on this same machine - the release last year.
There is a severe memory leak now. I get about 2 hours of gameplay before it’s unplayable and I had to restart, remove cores 1 and 0 from affinity and set priority to high. Every time. If I don’t I get about 20 minutes of gameplay.
Same machine ran it no issue last year.
Hopefully this helps it run a bit better on the ROG Ally, I'll be testing it out today, looks clean!
Make echos longer, a 3-5 minute echo would be so much better than these sub one minute runs they are now.
I hadn't played LE since October and randomly decided to play a short session without knowing about the update. Just to get a break from PoE2, you know.
I was stunned by how much better this game ran than I remembered. Now I know why.
I started playing POE solely because it's on PS5 and I played it in the past. I will be going back to LE soon.
i noticed in stash it doesnt lag any more its quicker
and looks smoother keen for s2
I'm playing on a laptop with 3050 - this was usually barely enough for LE. Though after the update my Tornado / Maelstorm (which has quite many visual effects comparing to many other classes) druid is facing quite noticeable lags, especially in the shards with the minions from the Frozen citadel.
Still I believe the idea to do this upgrade before new season is very good.
im sure every single one of the 20 people still playing this will enjoy it
well it is more like 2000 avarage, but i dont think all 200k other guys quit, there is a lot me included waiting for more content. so more like a long break...its a big difference
@@burndownhellsing dude even much older arpgs like grim dawn still have 10 times the playerbase,last epoch is dead and burried
LE is such a great game. The crafting is actually fun, the mechanics for SSF are great, the builds and skill Interactions are the best ive ever seen.
PoE2 is great too, and I have close to 300 hours into it already, but the best build for sorc is goofy little sparks on the ground. Its dissapointing and boring.
Will this this upgrade finally bring us working skill nodes?
I really hope they also upgrade some of the early humanoid npc that don''t have ragdoll . Sounds silly but i like seeing stuff flying around :p
hype for s2 betwen poe 2 and LE we gonna have good time betwen the 2 best H&S on the market
Great news indeed but what about system requirements? Will they be higher? You mentioned DLSS and FSR and it bothers me a bit.
Im currently playing on an old GPU and I could barely play before the engine upgrade, now I get decent fps even when theres a ton of skill FX on screen
perfect!
I slowed down on poe2 and it made me miss LE. It’s so much easier to make a build early in LE. Poe feels like extremely incremental and a bit slow to get your character power scaling.
POE2 needs to increase drop rates ASAP imo
PoE was always like this but the difference is you could actually craft in PoE 1 once you got the mapping going. In PoE 2, if you're not cheesing with rarity and one of the top 3 or 4 builds that are the majority of what everyone is playing to make money, it's almost impossible to do :D Good luck with crafting if the bases barely drop and you get 3 exalts per map. That's aside from the fact that there's barely any orbs to craft with and the options are incredibly limited.
very little content right now in POE2. Thats why developers deliberately slowed down 10 times all gameplay elements.
Coming back to play LE and PoE2 on a circle. But devs gotta get their shit together. This game has the chance to be the greatest other ARPG next to PoE, since PoE2 is so niche.
END GAME IS #1 PRIORITY
I think postponing the content was the right thing to do. Most aRPG players are 100% hooked on PoE 2 at the moment anyway... at least till the honeymoon phase is over... Unless GGG manages to add a couple more classes before April. I just hope they'll finally make 2h crit Forge Guard and charged Puncture Marksman feel and play good.
Yeah, there is still PoE2 full release this year, so they have to carefully time their release if they dont want their exposure be swallowed by PoE.
2:15 Say that one again? We think you meant _automatically_ but, say that one again? They finally budge on one of the dumbest Hills To Die On? Hallelijah!
What monitor you using bro? It looks good
did they already fix the inconsistent fps drops across all maps?
Man I love last epoch, everything just clicks with this game. The systems like loot filters crafting are the best in the genre hands down. My only gripe with the game is when you're in end game and there is alot of mob density, the game stutters hard its literally unplayable for me :( my pc is top tier so its definitely not on my end, I really hope they do something about the fps drops and when they do decide to address this issue, this game will be my go to ARPG for sure. Note: i have over 10k hours in poe 1 and so far 300h in poe 2 and this game is making me change my life long choice of ARPG :D
It does look great. I didn't think it needed better graphics but better never hurts. I do wish all the melee noise sounded as good as the sound from these golems. Very chuncky.
In your title it says "Lets Investigated!" Did you mean to say let's investigate?
is there any plans to make lich playable ?
Finally, the game is awesome but lacks content, classes diversity and graphic upgrade. I hope they these stuff so i can get back to it
Could you please help me out.. "Seasons" are not meant to be new story parts that I can play, but season on LE means just updates, upgrades and quality of life improvements? I cannot find or identify what's new in a season so far. it all looks still the same.
He explained in the video...
When did the engine update drop?
LET'S GO 🎉🎉🎉🎉
does anyone have a visuals problem with lich where blood splatters flicker around the character? it appears after some minutes ingame and does not go away.
I'm playing a Cold Avalanche Shaman and maybe the performance is slightly better now when spamming Avalanches? Hard to tell, it was stuttering occasionally before but I don't know if it's related to other effects or echo specific stuff.
I was playing for hours last night. Dont tbink i noticed anything lol syill had a good time. Dont have poe2 so LE it is!
I don't ever have any performance issues myself.
I play on 6650xt r5-3600 and LE always plays smooth for me and looks beautiful.
While visuals are rough in 2024/2025 in comparison with PoE 2 and D4, the thing that pushed me away from LE (despite being a huge LE fan since years) was the performance. It was really poor and i run D4 at 200+ fps at ultra, LE was a stutterfest, even after 1.0. Downloading it again to check if it really runs better.
Does it ? Didn’t have the chance to check it yet myself , had low fps at 1440p with RTX 3080 ( 45-70 fps at medium settings )
Hey Aaron, maybe you know, but I got a white loot lizard key, and on LE tools it say its a 0.01% drop chance, but what dos it do? :P
I do hope that in April there will be a bit of a break from new changes in PoE2 so that i can truly enjoy jumping into LE again for a month or so. I did not play Cycle 1 because besides Pinnacle Bosses there was nothing really new to the pre 1.0 release and i put like 100 Hours into 0.9 and another 50 Hours into 1.0 so i checked all the Endgame content there was at that time with two chars 90+. Would be great to come back for new stuff
Whenever i read "upgrade", "graphics or engine" my head imediatelly thinks: ok, what about performance? Because seems like everytime a game gets some "improvements" the optimization goes to shit
Looks to be running smoothly at 4k in the video. So there’s at least that good news.
@@NotSoFast71 i hope so. i don't have an expensive setup and the game was running smoothly before
If they can improve the old-dated animations of the models and improve the spell FX a bit, LE could easily be a main stay. Just compared to POE 2 it feels "stiff" and out dated.
I hope they release this on the consoles.
ummm that's kind of an ominous opening clip to use.. I'm gonna assume you know the source and what happens moments after.
You should rename your channel to NDA RPG
i guess ill test it out
Can't wait looks great. Already tied of POE 2.
how improved is the animation and fps ?
Thx for the update, i had a question will there be wasd in last epoch? Im trying to get my friends to play but they don’t like the click to move option.
They are testing WASD according to a recent dev stream
Nice!
I wish they just delayed 1.0 to add all of this stuff. Especially improved controller support. Launch controller support was/is a joke.
great video looking forward for more about Last Epoch , i am rly disappointed about d4 and poe2 i hope this will be the one for me
There have been conspiracies around "streamer's luck" now we may see the rise of a new conspiracy called "streamer's graphics".
All jokes aside, I've been a little bit busy playing POE 2 and have been neglecting LE. But I'm glad to see LE is live and well. Probably a good occasion to reinstall. I am also somehow happy for the people who insist that LE is straight up better than POE 2 in every conceivable way, even if It's not the way I feel. I'm glad we have two great aRPGs on the market and want both games to keep getting better and succeed (not hating Diablo IV, just have no experience in it). If Titan Quest 2 will also find a niche, for example as a story rich aRPG like Grim Dawn, I will be the happiest person alive.
Looks like a good start but it would still need a lot more changes for me to hop back into this again. Too many things in the game that was very meh, reminded me of Poe 1 where i could just not get into it. Currently Poe 2 has my full attention and possible D4 with season 7.😊
IT does look better! the colors just pop alot more...
April!? Wow
Fr, I love LE but the game has suffered from the devs taking a bajillion years
@@BrockLeeCSGO too bad LE is the only game out there eh ? take a break and come back when it's april. strange concept i know ...
@@D3xt3r33 I am literally doing that? I have 400 hours In LE and 200 in POE2 rn. Don’t be an elitist dude
@@D3xt3r33 plus there’s no way to defend their absurdly long cycle at this point, next cycle won’t even continue the campaign….
Does LE run well on a 1560? I can run poe 2 ok so I should be fine right?
I run it on a 1050ti with no problem
@nicolaszitarosa6731 Ah, that's awesome. Thank you.
Can't play any ARPG anymore without wsad, It's a game changer after played poe 2
Upgrading engine does not mean better graphics :P Ive been working with UE and Unity. Its some truth to that you can make things look better. But then its something you have to do as a dev. Most of the time, it can flush out bugs, that can cause slowness etc. New features etc. But pure new graphics is not common if you dont remodel or update assets
Thxs
Performance increase?
Nice. Before, it looked like a mobile game from 2018. Now, it looks like a mobile game from 2022.
I read that title too quickly as "Last Epoch Drops Unity," that would have been bad to switch from what you're used to and currently using, lol
Does it run better on Steam Deck now?
1:40 April is an eternity away in internet/gaming time. pump the brakes on the hype until March.
also, when the video is getting compressed to hell and back thru YT, it's kinda hard to tell what improvements are in or not.
The only reason why I’m waiting around or even still playing the game is because I am permanently ill and cannot work
Hey @actionRPG when does this game come out on console? This game looks really Great . A mix of Diablo & path of exile . Diablo was fun for a minute but lack of skills and monsters challenge. Poe 2 is Great but some of the skills are not valuable enough to play which forces everyone to play somewhat the same Ik its EA but that’s still the problem in the first one too .. this LE looks really cooler and seems to give you more of an option on how you can play your power fantasy
show settings and resolution and fps.. :)
Are we allowed to play LE and D4? All the other ARPG content creators say I'm not allowed since PoE2 killed all the other games.
Poe2 killed other Games?🤣 Poe2 is the Last shit. Feels more like a Game from 2000 with effects from 2023 and most said Game is Hard and blabla. Game is easy and Boring. Trying to copy D2 and failed very Hard With it
@@Saeros20 cope harder buddy
@@Saeros20u clearly havent played POE 2.
They are all great in their own way. It's great that there are multiple arpg's we can switch between!
Only if your IQ is above 80, if it's below 80 like those people's, you are not allowed, no.
My computer seems to stutter more now that they’ve changed to this new engine before it never ever did and now it’s not as fun to play because his daughter is so much
Is it still Unity tho?
Dunno, i can't see any clear change. I need to see the character in the main screen and see maybe a paladin, to see how the armor, the polygon of his figure looks like. The game is great, but the character and the level design looks goofy as hell to me.
I wish this game would port to my Xbox.... :)
So LE upgraded from the iPhone 6 to the iPhone 7… i guess is still a upgrade
I hate how good POE 2 is, because I can't take other ARPG's seriously anymore. It used to be that I would play all of them.
Didn't like poe 1 not gonna try poe2
oh damn, after playing poe 2 for 300 hours ... even with engine upgrade this looks... :S
Maybe it’s because I’m watching from a smartphone, but it looks almost identical to the actual thing. I didn’t expect something like Doom 2 -> Doom 3 difference of course but unless performance drops will be negligible, I don’t really see the point of this update. Graphics seem way worse than D4 and PoE2 anyways.
How did you get 3 golems?
iirc 2 from the skill-passives and the third might be an item. like the helmet that let's you summon a big wraith that spawns the normal wraiths
Aarons Will adds another bone golem
Still waiting about 10 second or more on char select. still not fixed
Dayum, LE better than PoE 2 right now.
nice , someone got drop
fps sometimes ?
