⚙️ New Settings:
🎥 FOV Slider Added! You can now adjust your Field of View (FOV) from 75 to 110 via the Graphics Settings.
🖥️ New Graphics Option: Virtual Textures This new setting is designed to help mid to lower-end PCs, especially GPUs with low RAM. Lowering this setting can reduce crashes and help with texture loading issues — a major benefit for players experiencing instability.
For some of you, it’s the start of a new week — for others, it’s the end of one. Wherever you are, we wish you all peace, strength, and greatness in the days ahead.
As always, happy gaming — and thank you for being part of this journey.
