Game Engine Update
Over a year in the making, we are pleased to finally get the much-anticipated game engine upgrade out to all our pilots. Some of you may notice visual or performance enhancements, but the things you don’t see are the real prize here. Upgrading as big as we have will provide our team with stability, access to better and more tools, the ability to jump on issues more efficiently, and more capabilities to develop new kinds of content.. like night maps ;)
We want to extend a sincere gratitude to those of you who have helped in any of the playtesting opportunities to help us get this across the finish line, and we thank everyone for giving us your patience and time while we focused efforts on quality improvements. Our team is on alert and monitoring the dashboards to make sure we can address any issues/bugs that could arise with a new engine, but rest assured we are equally as excited as you to start releasing some of the content we have been teasing to you. Two additional notes:
Process load times may take a bit longer when you launch. This is expected with the new engine update.,
Please report any new issues or bugs you might be experiencing in our Discord or contact us at [email protected] with a screenshot/video, device info, and description.,
