Hotfix 0.2.5581

Balance Changes

• Reduced Evade Strike damage from 30% to 13% of POWER.

• Increased Adrenaline Evade healing from 30 to 60.

• Increased Dash distance by 25%.

• Increased AI rotation speed from 15 to 30, making enemy turns feel more responsive.

• Reduced spinning sword damage from sword-wielding undead enemies by 25%.

• Increased Totem of Death meteor fall damage by 3x.

Gameplay Fixes

• Fixed an issue where dying in co-op could keep the camera locked on the killer AI. The lock-on now clears automatically on death.

• Added fallback teleporting on fall: if a player falls out of bounds, they are teleported to a random teammate.

• Loot items now despawn automatically after 120 seconds.

• Fixed double activation commands for effects.

• Increased effect prewarm time from 1 to 2 seconds to reduce framedrops on first time ability casts.

Performance

• Added preloading for all shader variants to reduce frame freezes when some abilities are cast for the first time.

Audio & UI

• Improved Group Restoration sound quality.

• Fixed Settings window header texts.

Minimum System Requirements

We updated the minimum PC requirements on the Steam page. Zombie Royale now explicitly requires an SSD, more RAM, a 6-core CPU, and a GPU with at least 6 GB of VRAM. The reason for this change is that half-resolution textures use about 6 GB of VRAM, the game currently uses around 6.5 GB of system RAM, and some heavy gameplay systems still depend strongly on single-thread CPU performance.
