Any possibility of a dedicated server?

Crate has announced a new renderer, which should mitigate your performance issue (50 FPS sounds still good to me, if this is the worst you have in combat).

V1.1.4.0 Preview

[…] there is actually something else we are thrilled to talk about.

As work continues on the inevitable Xbox Port, we are finalizing the implementation of a new renderer for Grim Dawn with DirectX 11. This tech, known as Deferred Rendering, utilizes additional graphics memory to reduce total draw calls per frame by around 30% or more. This should result in a decent performance increase, especially at high video settings. Complex scenes, such as Devil’s Crossing and parts of Fort Ikon, should see the largest gains.

Whether this major update to the game engine is released with v1.1.4.0 or with v1.1.5.0 later this year will largely depend on how smoothly bug fixing goes, but one thing is for sure: you can expect to see noticeable improvements to the game’s performance in the future!

To elaborate on the previous response - Crate was not in the position to set up dedicated servers at release, and they have no plans to add them more than 3 years later.
