Optional experimental fix for client freeze issues

Greetings travellers,

Thank you so much to everyone that already contributed to our investigations on the client freezes that some players are experiencing ( [URL=]https://www.worldsadrift.com/forums/topic/the-war-against-freezes-enroll-today-to-win-it/[/url]), it’s super helpful! In fact, we were able to start identifying patterns and work on possible optimizations. Great news, we now have a first experimental fix that we would like to try with your help once again. We released an optional patch you can download, this is how to:

– In Steam, right click on the game in your library and choose properties.
– Click on the “Betas” tab.
– Choose the “client-freeze-test” beta.
– Steam will then download the update for you (size: 394.1 MB)

This is totally optional and you can opt out of this patch anytime if you notice any issues with it. Essentially, we are trying to get some feedback see if it’s a step in the right direction before we roll it to all players. It would be greatly appreciated if you try it to share if that helped (or not) reducing the amount of client freezes or if it at least reduced how long it last.
