So, here we have this fantastic looking terrain being developed.
https://twitter.com/gordonrox24/status/526176488459341824
And so we're presented with a problem: this terrain is not going to work well on old PC's. And we're probably going to see a massive downgrade from the dev's 16GB RAM i7 4970k SLI 780 computers to fit someone's grandma's computer, even for maximum graphics settings, because they'd have to bring down the amount of detail and make the physics simple.
Please don't.
With some time and encouragement, PC's will move towards 500 and 600 (or R7 for AMD) series graphics cards and 3rd and 4th generation haswell processors as the mainstream by the time this update rolls around (a long time, no doubt). As for mobile, Tegra K1 graphics cards are becoming more and more common, as they should, because if people expect to play games, they NEED a computer that isn't using parts designed 10 years ago.
Seriously. I want to make Roblox look nice. I have a 4770k/770/12GB RAM PC, and it just feels like people with bad PC's really drag both the game industry and the PC industry down. If Roblox was designed for good quality PC's, then maybe more people with good computers would feel like Roblox isn't a waste when they could play more taxing games. Optimization is of course welcome at all times, but not when we have to sacrifice the quality.
May your framerates be high and your temperatures low, brothers.

| This will be no problem for me, since I have windows 8.1 with a tower that has an AMD Elite Quad-Core A8-6500 Accelerated Processor with 2 TV of hard drive storage and 12 GB of RAM. Support. |

| Ive saw the terrain. They are going to have to change the high scalability bricks quality and how they work to match the newly-developed terrain. |

GTX 500 series cards are getting to be very cheap and can handle many games at medium to high graphics

| You truly are a technical computer geek. I said that as a compliment. I'd consider myself advanced at bypassing un-needed updates that wont go away on my PC. |

I completely support, as someone with a gaming pc, this it's difficult to see people complain about their FPS dropping in ROBLOX. I mean really? Of all games, ROBLOX? If it were to be a game like ArmA, only then would lag be acceptable. It's very unfortunate that ROBLOX is also capped at 60 FPS. I would like to see what FPS I can get with it uncapped.

"and it just feels like people with bad PC's really drag both the game industry and the PC industry down"
Well I'm sorry that my computer isn't the best machine on the market. Perhaps people in these industries want to cater to people with lower end machines as well, rather than just you high and mighty elitsts with top-notch equipment. Roblox doesn't want to alienate much of it's community. This won't "encourage" them to buy a better computer. It will encourage them to remove Roblox from their book-marked pages and look for a game that does look to its lower-end machine community.
As someone pointed out in an earlier post, Roblox is currently one of the best games for lower-end machines. Keep it that way.

| Like I give a damn. If you can't run Half Life 2 with over 40 FPS on mid to high settings, you're an embarrassment for going against technology. You're better off playing Roblox on a tablet. |

Support. ROBLOX needs to stop updating their game engine for people with Windows 98 computers.

| Support. Maybe they could have quality settings instead of getting rid of it so that people playing on potatoes don't complain. |
