Hey Everyone! Hope you’re all well!
We know we’ve been more on the quiet side lately, but that’s because we’ve been working VERY hard on Tainted Grail to bring you something REALLY amazing! This update will be quite hefty, but there’s a lot of big and important news coming your way. Many of you have been waiting for this, so stay tuned!
Before going further, we’d like to once again THANK YOU SO MUCH for playing Tainted Grail and supporting us along the wavy and shaky development road :D With our biggest post-release update so far (version 1.1), we aimed to address most of your commonly reported issues and requests. Since then, we’ve seen tons of positive comments and reviews on Steam, so seriously, keep that feedback coming because you’re being heard! You can consider yourselves a vital part of Tainted Grail, Travelers!
Okay, back to the juicy part!

Let us start with….
1. Patch 1.15
Say hello to Patch 1.15, our new update that has just been released on Steam! Before listing all the patch notes, let’s start with what has been our #1 priority for this patch: optimization across all platforms.
We’ve constantly been going through the game top to bottom, searching for things to optimize. With today’s patch, the biggest improvements should be seen on Xbox. Our internal testing shows a significant performance boost of around 20+ more FPS.
These optimizations should also help older or weaker PCs run the game better, although, as always with PC, it heavily depends on your hardware. Modern or high-end PCs probably won’t see much difference, but the game should run better overall. Our internal testing also shows an improvement of around 2–3 FPS on Steam Deck and PS5.
Now, regarding PlayStation 5: we’re working really hard on this platform, but the issues we’re facing mostly come from how Unity handles graphics on PS5 (which we can’t change) and, unfortunately, memory allocation as well. This makes fixes tricky, but we’re digging through systems and rewriting parts of the game to find any solutions.
Our internal testing shows that we’re getting closer to significantly reducing crashes, and we hope to push an update that should help with this when Sarras launches. This crash-fixing patch will, of course, be available to everyone, not only to people who decide to buy Sarras.
All in all, the struggle for better performance on PS5 continues, and we’re doing everything we can on our end to improve the situation. We hope to have more good news in February, but we can’t promise anything; it’s not entirely in our hands. Still, today’s patch should offer a small boost to performance and stability. We’re really sorry for all the trouble, and thank you for your patience.
Now, for the rest of the patch notes!
