I've uploaded an optimized version of HG Enhanced. If you update your HG Enhanced through WorldGate, you'll get the optimized version. It should reduce graphics lag in-game significantly. Please post bug reports here in this thread if you are using the optimized version. I'll update the full download shortly as well. Acaos

Does this get rid of certain VFX to reduce lag, or is it an improved update for everyone? (ie: If I get alright fps already, by updating to this am I going to lose certain vfx i don't need to?).

Nothing was removed - I cleaned up and recompiled most of the models.

Was not able to get on a run this morning, but switched on skyboxes and hung around that horri- erm, I mean the sacred Rowan Tree in town, spamming zoom-in and zoom-out and I had no problems at all (i.e. flickering demigod glow and/or spell effects and no "blips" --- where the screen freezes for a fraction of a second, usually more than once in a 2-3 second period). Looks good so far. Will put it to the test on a hell run, hopefully soon and report back.

Does Divine Might and Divine Shield ( Paladin ) not have a gfx anymore ? ( One of the two had a nice glowing gfx that made it very easy to see when it wasnt active anymore )

Divine Might has a glowing halo over the head, and Divine Shield has the swirls around your feet. I tested both and they both worked for me, but I'll double-check them. Could you also double-check please?
Thanks, Acaos

The Rowan tree has a strange white glow to it. However, it had it before I did the update via WorldGate. I have my video options mostly set to low\off.

Did it tap into the Weave of Mystra? You can see if from the docks.

After doing a couple hell runs last night, I can say I still get some flickering, especially in the presence of the Rowan Tree (which has been a source of graphics lag since IIRC HGE 20). It is not as bad as it was, that is for certain, and I can play with skyboxes now. Suffice it to say The Fetid Swamp truly looks horrible

Is the version 21 on the HG Enhanced wiki page optimized? Or is it only available via Worldgate?

Only via WorldGate at the moment. I do plan to update the one on the wiki page, but given how I compiled the models, that won't be for a few more days.
Also, I'm working on a new updater system which is not only faster than WG, but is Linux-compatible as well (and could be Mac compatible - anyone here have an OS X box who could do some compiling for me?)
