Earth remastered still badly optimised

[ErikTheOrange]

My laptop is by no means high end, but I get 60 fps (vsync capped) in most tilesets on almost maxed settings.

Contrast that with earth remastered where framerate drops down to 30 or lower with alarming frequency no matter how much is going on on-screen.

I've also seen numerous players complain about this issue. Some saying they avoid the earth tilesets altogether because the performance is so bad.

Is this just an inevitable side effect of the remaster that nothing can be done about? Or is it just bad optimization?

This also begs the question, what will future updates bring in terms of performance? If the rest of the tilesets are "remastered" in the same way as earth, then DE are going to alienate a huge percentage of their playerbase in the process.
