Greetings Scavengers,

I've got a hotfix to address a few things that have come up since launch. Please do let me know anything you find in discord.

I've seen a few reports of poor performance so made a change to address this, as well as some other balances.

If you have low FPS try going into Options > Graphics and reducing Render Scale to around 0.5. This is not really visually perceptible and should improve your FPS on lower spec systems or laptops. In addition, when you open the game in Steam, you are presented with a choice of two builds, so do try running the Lower Spec build with reduced texture memory as well if you have any problems.

You should also check you have your latest GPU drivers installed and updated. I worked hard to include other graphical options too, so I suggest checking them out too. For example, you can toggle ambient occlusion, and alter or disable anti aliasing.

It's also worth keeping in mind, it should be said this game is not really a 4k game. It is a fairly low poly indie game, and unless you have a recent card, you could think about playing at 1080p which you can also set in Options > Graphics. It was designed to be played at this resolution, and if you do have any performance issues, you will lose absolutely nothing from the experience by playing at this if you are on an older machine.

Thanks to everyone who has supported the game so far! I really appreciate those positive reviews, it lets us know there are people who are enjoying it and that we did something worthwhile over the past four years development.

Cheers,

Al.
