Hi everyone! Hope you've had a blast crushing those monsters and taking photos of Heph.
We have been absolutely blown away by the response to Rift of the NecroDancer since it came out yesterday. We appreciate all the feedback we've received so far. Please keep sending stuff our way -- we read everything that comes in!
There are a few small-but-annoying bugs that we wanted to get a hotfix out for ASAP, so read below for the full list of changes and known issues.
🔁 Changes
- Added the words 'Custom Music' to the gameplay screen when playing a custom track to help distinguish between official and custom music
⚒️ Fixes
- Disabled the automatic FPS throttling when the game is unfocused
- This also fixes the softlock that could occur when unfocusing the game while the feedback form was open
- Reduced the resolution of all videos to prevent stuttering on low end PCs
- Prevented a softlock that would occur when entering the Calibration Test from a custom track
- Fixed a performance dip that occurred when triggering vibe power while 'Remove Guitar Strings' was set to Enabled
🪲 Known issues
