Monolith of Fate

• Lowered the stability requirements of the 3rd quest echo for all timelines other than the first.
  • This reduction is smaller for non-empowered timelines.
  • The 3rd quest echo now requires 1000 stability for all empowered timelines (from 1000 to 1350 depending on timeline).
• Slay enemies to locate __ is now listed as a separate objective in the quest tracker for echoes that use a delayed objective pulse (Bosses and Time Gates).
• Time Gates now also have delayed objective pulses like Bosses.
• The threshold for showing delayed monolith objective pulses now varies based on zone. It's higher than before in most zones, but lower in zones where going in a random direction may result in significant backtracking.
• The icons for unavailable echoes are now darker and less saturated to make available echoes more clear.
• Adjusted the position of the monolith reward object in Echo of a World.

Optimization

• Greatly improved the performance of hideable objects (things that fade out when they block the camera). This likely caused stutters or reduced fps in many zones.
• Players have reported that validating game files can help with performance or stability issues. Well continue investigating, but validating files, updating drivers / OS and restarting your computer are good troubleshooting steps.
