a) It's early access. b) a small team that, at the time of development, probably didn't have much resources to do lots of testing c) the huge player numbers after EA release introduced so many more variables - different hardware setups etc. So it exposed the problem. c) Unity is known to underperform when the game has some sort of landscaping. Give them time, they will fix it. Valheim two years ago used to look way different than it does now so this is just the beginning of the journey.

Those are all valid points, I wouldn't even be super mad if they knew the problem existed as of launch but went with it anyway. I'm just curious if the developers had personally noticed the problem or not, is all. Seems like the issue doesn't impact everyone equally, so maybe they all had systems that handled the instance problem better than most?
