Hey Drifters, in this latest BETA patch, we’ve overhauled how our textures are loaded to minimize memory crashes, hangs, game launch black screens, and driver crashes.
We’re putting this up in the BETAS tab, so to try it out:
- Right click on Hyper Light Drifter in your Steam Library
- Navigate to properties
- Hit the BETAS tab
- Use the drop down to select “next_update”
