If the hardware was fixed (e.g. a console) I could do that. But with PCs there's always someone with an older PC that can't handle the game -> never ending optimizations. Besides I already spent quite some time optimizing the engine, so more gains would be hard to achieve.
Come one, you set yourself the lower limit with the specifications for Log2. And even for systems way beyond the recommended specification there are performance drops in the outside areas. And, come on, I hardly believe that you touched all aspects of engine in your last optimization run (which seemed to be more memory focussed) ... and more GFX options? Why should that be impossible? Please, give us at least something here... the hope that you take another look performance wise or adds GFX options is not unreasonable!
I will stop pestering you with this topic if you take a serious look and achieve some progress here, promised.

Or mine system, a AMD dual core 3.6 GHz, AMD 5670 HD, 4GB 64Bit system: GPU one generation higher than the minimal recommendation (but this is not the limitation), CPU clockwise better than optimal recommendation (more cores are not used overall): barely beyond 60FPS with the unsupported 640x400 mode, even with everything low -> CPU limited (with all high it dips under 60FPS)

You mean other games?
Excellent to sufficient. In case I set the GFX options to medium or low and enjoy at least 60fps. Only Log2 resists here.
And yes, currently I stopped playing waiting either for an patch or more options, as the outside areas felt to sluggish (dungeons are mostly blazingly fast > 100fps)... and I know that timed puzzles will be unreasonable hard or impossible with too low FPS.

No, I meant in Grimrock 2. Since your PC is between minimum and recommend spec, I would guess that you're getting FPS somewhere between 40-60 most of the time?

In the dungeons I have all settings high beyond 100fps. Also the beach area was better (don't have the FPS in mind). It started to dip with twigroot forest.
