As I'm sure most of you encountered, the terrible issue with UE5 and it's Lumen, Well no longer will there be a dedicated branch to switch over to disable lumen
you can now do that inside your settings, by default it is off, if your computer can handle the use of lumen then feel free to enable it in the settings panel
and with this new update the store front is being updated too to match PNA and the new game direction
Montana was placed on hold until a new map can be redeveloped for it as the current one can't be converted to world partition and the size is a bit extreme.
Some of the other features planned for PNA is on hold until part 1 of this update is polished off and stable and I receive more feedback on the current update.
Elira is going to be the main development footprint for the entire update, so Dieting, Temperature, etc. will all be test ran and polished off inside that map before
expanding to any other maps/options. PNA is not the only feature pack that will be developed, so Tigers, Leopards, Orcas, Lions etc. will have their own set of
feature packs, servers can enable what pack they want to use in their server options. Sandbox can use any of the animals. This update is to pull back the animal
count to properly redevelop everything and help be more stable and have a purpose, it's not realistic to have Tigers in a North American theme map. So as you can imagine
there will be a Jungle, Ocean, Mixed, Safari etc. As for the Ocean area I mentioned that will actually be a artic setting with creatures like polar bear, walrus,
penguins, orcas, sharks, sea lions etc. enjoy this first iteration and direction change there's a lot more to come
