Attention, players!

Unfortunately, with the new patch released on May 8th, 2020, some players may experience freezing of the quest progress. We had to sacrifice it for the sake of server stability. If you come across such a problem, the only way to fix it is to start a new session. We apologize for the inconvenience.

That said, the new update brings a lot of additions and improvements. Without further ado, let's jump into the patch details.

Mobs

1. Merids have been rebalanced and reworked:
   • their health has been reduced
   • the model has been slightly enlarged
   • the hitbox has been adjusted
2. Kvar animation speed has been readjusted
3. Baby Sahrim, Sahrim, and Snow Sahrim’s stats have been rebalanced

Controls:

1. The game now supports AZERTY-keyboard

Graphics Settings:

1. Stochastic Screen Space Reflection is only available in Ultra settings

1. The amount of experience required to reach Account Level 2 has been changed. Now, you can get Account Level 2 by only completing the first main quest “Steps toward Rescue: Study of the voids”

UI:

1. You can now track average FPS in the game client. Press Ctrl+Shift+F to activate the FPS-counter
2. Map and navigation panel:

Quests:

1. You will be rewarded a random orange perk for finishing main quests
2. The item that activated the quest “Lost Property” has been removed from the global map. The said quest has been disabled.

4. The quest “Toxicity” becomes available when the character’s toxicity level reaches its half

Localization:

1. German and Italian texts have been updated
2. Other languages have received multiple edits

Gameplay:

1. The banker's storage capacity has been increased from 10 to 15 item slots
2. The water flask’s capacity has been increased to 30 units. The flask replenishes a third of character’s water balance

2. Gas-trap recipe has been changed
3. Simple Pickaxe recipe has been simplified
4. Healing Bandage crafting has been reworked: now you can craft 3 bandages from required resources, but it will take more time

Bug Fixes:

1. Fixed an issue:
   • when Baby Sahrim has low health and reaches Sahrim or Snow Sahrim it stops and does not move
   • when mobs moved incorrectly or stopped moving for some time
   • that could lead to the absence of visual effect when character attacks is blocked
   • when the Gas Trap icon in the Technology Atlas did not correspond to the item
   • when Foam Moss and Yutt Burrow were not seen on minimum graphics settings
   • he description is displayed when Perk is destroyed. Removed the point about the issuance of points of Practice Units, because it was not true
   • when the character twitched the spear while changing the direction of movement in the fighting stance
   • when the character twitched the head while sprinting with an equipped spear
2. The description that appears when the player dismantles a perk has been corrected. The line about Practice Points has been removed because it was false
3. The gas trap icon in the Technology Atlas corresponds to the icon of the item itself
