Hey Tourists!
The update is officially live! We spent the last month mostly working on improving performance, with a few other improvements and additions. More on it below.
Optimization & Performance
Performance was our priority for this release. After setting up an automated testing suite and upgrading to Unreal Engine 5.8, we went hunting for bottlenecks. We managed to double the framerate on our low-end test laptop ( with a GTX 1050Ti ), with substantial gains on mid-range rigs and better overall stability. Keep in mind that you still need at least a GTX 1000 series or equivalent (compatible DX11 or better) to run the game properly. Integrated graphics is not supported.
Patch Notes
Engine & Performance
Upgraded engine to Unreal Engine 5.8 for performance, bug fixes and stability.
Optimization: performance improvement on low-end and mid-range systems.
Added an automatic hardware benchmark on first launch to apply optimal graphics settings.
Added a GPU selection option.
Fixed some GPU D3D crashes.
Localization & Accessibility
Added text localization for 7 new languages: Korean, Spanish, Spanish (LATAM), Portuguese, Portuguese (Brazil), German, and Russian.
Added a new crosshair options in settings to help reduce motion sickness.
Environment & Physics
Working on second map, we changed our water system for gameplay purposes, to support underwater visual / audio and buoyancy for physical objects and ragdolls.
We replaced the water across the entire first map for consistency.
Enabled NPC collision: players can now run over the NPCs with the Rosalie, and push them around.
A pass on ambient sounds to fill out quieter areas of the map.
Thank you for all your support, and happy cycling!
