Patch 1.2

Our team at Total Mayhem Games has been working relentlessly over the past few months to elevate We Were Here Forever.

We have just released version 1.2, containing the following changes:

Improvements

• DLSS support! Turn on DLSS with an eligible NVIDIA video card and enjoy significantly enhanced performance and smoother gameplay, all while maintaining superb image quality.

• Texture Streaming enabled! Texture streaming allows better memory consumption with better loading times.

• Reworked Sound FX! The team has done an extra pass on some of the most noticeable sound effects in the game, and a lot of them have been completely reworked.

• Zoom factor of the zoom button has been increased, making it a lot easier to spot something in the distance.

• Patch 1.2 has been checked for the Steamdeck for optimal performance!
