Hey everyone,
We’re back with another update to the Dark Laws Playtest! Thanks again for all the incredible feedback—it’s been amazing seeing how you explore Telos Island and push the game to its limits. This patch focuses on stability and visuals to make your playtest experience smoother and more immersive.
Here’s what’s new:
Multiplayer (Temporarily Disabled): While testing, we discovered a few audio bugs in co-op that could cause issues for all players. To keep the experience stable, we’ve temporarily disabled multiplayer until these are resolved. Don’t worry—it’ll be back, stronger and smoother!
Upscaling Update: We’ve upgraded the game to x1.2 resolution upscaling, along with improved lighting. Environments and details should now look sharper and more atmospheric than ever before.
Collision Bug Fixes: Several collision issues that caused unexpected movement and lag have been fixed.
