Good day, morning or even evening!
As most of you know and maybe are suffering from performance drops in the game. We have introduced visual sliders, ability to toggle off indoor shadows, but it seems like we are still not there yet! As me and the people who are testing the game do not feel any significant FPS loss it is a tricky situation when trying to deal and find which part of the game is at fault. So I have come to a conclusion after a sleepless night trying to figure out what is the problem. Just for this specific issue that I will from now on put a lot of attention to, I have created a "Performance" branch in the game, meaning if you right click on the game in your Steam library and select properties>>Betas and opt into the Performance branch you will be issued a build specifically for this experiment. Why do we need a separate build? As not to interfere with the main public live builds that most of the people are enjoying, in case we brake something while trying to catch the issue. Now at the time of this announcement I have uploaded builds into the Performance branch, anyone and everyone who has experienced slowdowns in the game, please try that specific build and tell me if you feel an improvement of is the issue greater than thought. This will help me make the game a more enjoyable experience for you and all the community. Me and my team love our fans and we do not wish to disappoint!
