Thank you to our Crows for spending your precious time on the Beta Test.
We have received valuable feedback regarding the beta test, and promise to provide an improved gaming experience at our official launch.
Among the opinions and questions you sent us through various platforms (surveys, official community, etc.) regarding our beta test, here are some answers from the developers of CROWZ about major questions.
1. Graphics
▶ We received a couple of feedbacks on graphic options such as DoF and blur that they seem strange in the game. The issues that may be relevant to the regarding matter have been fixed. More resolute and improved display will be shown in the next version.
2. Latency
▶ We opened a US server only to test high latency. As a result, we spotted issues such as – abnormal vehicle maneuvers, various lags, characters teleporting and/or being buried underground, etc.) caused by high latency among players in Asia and Europe.
▶ Any downsides occurred by latency will be improved by adding main regions through multiple tests to make sure that players do not experience bad gameplay due to network issues.
