Patch #1 - Roadside Research

Greeting my fellow goopers I hope this announcement finds you well (I promise not to call you that again)

Welcome to this new patch announcement. This will be broken down into multiple sections

1. What we have fixed

2. Common Requests we are aware of

3. What is coming next

We have recently pushed two hotfixes last week, an update on what we are working on Monday. And today we have a first patch now that things are bit... calmer. Thank you for your patience!

So without further delay, here are the patch notes for today's build update.

1. What we have fixed

Patch Notes - Thursday, February 19th

• Fixed an issue where settings like mouse sensitivity, FOV, etc. won't save

• Changed settings when it comes to upscalers to mitigate ghosting (In the future we will provide the option to turn off and change settings of the upscalers)
