⚙️ Improved Performance
You may have heard that open-world optimization is a bit of a… challenge. So performance was a huge focus for this update.
We’ve put a lot of work into optimization to improve overall performance while keeping visual quality intact, making the game feel more responsive and enjoyable.
Behind the scenes, this includes:
Level of Detail (LOD) improvements
Smarter rendering; dynamic culling
Animation, audio, VFX and general optimizations
With these improvements, the world should feel smoother, clearer, and more immersive than before!
