Today we’ve published the update 0.57.7. In this version, a substantial amount of work has been done on the servers code optimization, which allows us to significantly reduce CPU usage on servers. Overall, it should positively affect the performance of servers, especially during intensively fights and high load.
Game client also got some optimization: a huge amount of different things which hidden from player’s eyes is improved. Generally, we’ve managed to reduce CPU loading by 30-40% in some scenarios: it should reduce performance drop when many players or monsters are in one place. Unfortunately, not all of these improvements may affect FPS, but sometimes they can be noticeable.
Other changes:
- Added a new quest notification: “Quest can be completed”;
- A “level-up” notification has been improved;
- The sale of custom skinned weapons from Steam Store is prohibited to NPC-traders;
- New emotions are added: “Squatting” (“Korty”), “Point the finger”, and “Pay Respect” ("Salut");
- Leshiy’s hut got a respawn point. Also anomalies “Radio” are added which can be used as teleports to exclude respawn-wars there.
