Carefully going through your comments and feedback allowed us to prioritise what to focus on – one of the most requested changes was to have the option to skip the Prologue in the New Story submenu, which we’re happy to announce is now available.
We’ve also introduced a pop-up message at game startup regarding outdated GPU drivers and provided more detailed information about the CPU recommendations.
What’s more, we introduced additional fixes to existing DirectX 12 issues, which were implemented to the existing temporary separate branch ‘glimmer', while our team is continuing work on a permanent fix.
Thank you for your ongoing feedback and support, we're working tirelessly to make your #Frostpunk2 experience even better with each update!
Yours,
