Tactical Assault VR v0.9.22 | HIGH ROF / Performance Update

Hey everyone,

I know, "slow is smooth, smooth is fast"... but c'mon... not at 15 FPS!

We've been busy prioritizing fixes for performance issues and game-breaking bugs. You'll find the game running a lot smoother, faster, and much better optimized.

Optimizations aren't finished yet; more issues need attention, and we will address them over time. However, with major bugs out of the way, we can finally return to working on the fun stuff: new content!

Speaking of fast and new content... check out these new additions!

MG3 LMG

(by Puddle_NL)
Introducing the newly added MG3. Famous for its blistering cyclic rate of fire, it delivers unparalleled suppression capabilities and battlefield lethality.

USP40

(by Puddle_NL)

The USP40 is legendary for its military-grade reliability, match-grade accuracy, and sophisticated recoil-reduction system, allowing for quick trigger pulls and recovery.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined the public beta and reported bugs! The public beta will remain open and is fully compatible with the live version of the game. You can stay on the beta branch to receive smaller, periodic local bug-fix updates before they are officially pushed to the live branch.

You can read up on our most recent changes below.
