Known Issues

  • Game fails to start or shows "out of memory" → Please check that your PC meets the minimum system requirements listed on the store page.

  • Game runs slowly even though your PC meets the specs and quality settings are optimized → Updating your NVIDIA drivers to the latest version may improve performance. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

  • Game crashes under certain conditions (hopefully resolved in this update, but if it still occurs, please contact us using the form below) https://forms.gle/NB88NzwcRNVaWJFp9

  • Desynchronization issues (e.g. game state inconsistency) → These are more likely if the host’s connection is unstable. If possible, please have the most stable connection/player host the game.

  • Crash when enabling FSR (e.g. by switching to a quality preset) → If FSR causes crashes on your system, please avoid using quality presets and adjust settings manually. FSR has been confirmed to work with GPUs that meet our minimum specs, but performance may vary depending on your environment.

  • Movement of capsule-carrying players may appear unnatural after reconnecting

  • Minor bugs may occur after using the reconnect feature
