Hi everyone, In this hotfix we focused on the outdoor maps, as it seems to cause you a lot of troubles, and did some more blood optimization on performance. In this third hotfix you could find:

  • Further foliage optimization, notably on Forest and Slums map

  • Blood optimization

  • Slums map colliders set up correctly. Now you the round end properly when you go out of map

  • You can talk your enemies into submission via the taunt mechanic, NPCs will react

  • Minor bug fixes

We're aware that some of you still have the blood splatering issue on AMD cards and are working on it as fast as we can. And of course, we continue the work on other fixes, tunning, and feedback implementation.

Thank you again for your support and patience,

Half Sword team
