We've released a new performance optimised branch with reduced visual quality in exchange for better performance. If you are finding the current build unplayable, try switching to this build.
You can access the performance build by right-clicking Hexaquest Playtest in your Steam library > Properties > Betas > Beta Participation > change from None to performance - Optimised for FPS over visual quality. You may need to restart Steam for it to appear.
If you try this build, we'd appreciate it if you would let us know how well it runs on your machine in the #closed-playtesting channel on Discord!
