changedWe also want to address the most common concern so far: performance.

changedThis demo is the biggest test we’ve had for the game, across many different combinations of GPUs, CPUs, resolutions, and settings. Your feedback and reports are helping us find the biggest issues and make improvements.

addedAs a self-published and self-funded small indie studio, we’re still actively building the game, adding features, and creating new content. Because the game is still changing, the final optimization pass will happen once the major systems and content are in place.

changedThat said, we are taking performance seriously. We’re hiring extra help to support optimization, and we’ll keep improving the game as we move toward launch.

changedIn the meantime, we have some tentative changes in the beta branch of the demo , they should hopefully help improve the performance for some of our players, but we need your feedback. To access the beta branch, open the game properties settings, and head over to the “Game Versions & Betas” tab.

changedWe also recommend making sure that your GPU drivers are up to date, as some players have reported improved performance after doing so.
