Rise of Gun on a new engine

Hello everyone!

Today I’ve released a new test branch with the game updated to Unreal Engine 5.4!

This version should fix several old issues and significantly improve performance and optimization. Visually the game looks almost the same, but the lighting is now different, some parts of the UI are slightly broken, and a few animations have issues. These are minor problems that will be fixed later.

Switching to the new engine version is very important for us. The old UE4 version is no longer supported, which made fixing many bugs extremely difficult or even impossible. Moving forward, implementing new content and updates will be much easier.

⚠️ Important Warning:

Saves made in this test build may break your main game.

Therefore, if you have unfinished playthroughs and don’t want to lose them please do not download this branch.

You can safely test the new version after completing the main game.

How to restore your game if something goes wrong:

- Disable Steam Cloud

- Delete the folder with the new saves

- Launch the old version of the game

If that doesn’t help, completely delete the saves folder.

Test Branch Name: ue5_test

Password: IloveRiseOfGunUe5

You can find a detailed tutorial on how to activate the test branch in our Discord server.

Thank you all for waiting for the updates! I hope you’ll like the new version and that it will run much better and more optimized. This build should especially help those who couldn’t launch the game before.

I look forward to your feedback and impressions in our Discord! [dynamiclink href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/2319640/Rise_of_Gun"]
