A new update is focused on gameplay issues, UI behavior, quest flow, and a number of bugs reported across Alaborg, Koschei encounters, and the Kodok & Vorosha areas.

• Fixed cases where players could fall out of bounds or get stuck in the environment

• Fixed issues with moving platforms and interaction points in specific locations

Optimization

• Simplified the Eastern Merchant armor set, reducing its performance impact

• Optimized master materials for characters, some environment surfaces, and vegetation to improve overall performance

• Rebalanced shadow settings, slightly improved quality with fewer issues related to draw distance

• Simplified rendering of Koschei’s snakes on low and medium settings

• Applied additional optimizations to visual effects to reduce FPS drops in heavy scenes

We’re continuing to work on performance improvements with each update. Some of these changes take time to implement properly, so they will be rolled out gradually in upcoming patches.
