Hello, fellow gamer and MMO fanatic!
This patch took some time longer than anticipated to be accomplished as a result of sheer complexity of the problems concerned, as defined beneath. Now that it’s out, we are able to lastly get to releasing new content material once more – the subsequent steps are the consumables patch and an summary of our work on dungeons.
Within the meantime, let’s see what’s new right here!
Efficiency & QOL
It’s been actually laborious to resolve the efficiency points on older machines launched by the replace to Unity 2022. Shoutout to the neighborhood members who determined to dedicate their time to serving to us by testing 1,000,000 completely different sport consumer builds!
Stuttering
After the replace to Unity 2022, some operations carried out when the character is transferring had grow to be sensibly slower for gamers with older CPUs. This had triggered seen “stuttering” for these gamers – stuttering that grew to become worse the older the CPU and the quicker the participant motion.
After working carefully with a bunch of affected gamers, we’ve managed to make these operations as quick as they had been earlier than the replace, with out having to return to any graphic or gameplay compromise.
Whereas engaged on this, we’ve additionally added a number of efficiency enhancements that would influence stuttering when transferring, together with enhancements to Rubbish Assortment (for a similar as a complete) and Texture Splatting (for terrains).
Final however not least, we’ve improved the efficiency of some elements of our UI.
Motion
In Fractured On-line, your character can transfer following two completely different logics: “pathfinding” and “directional motion (with impediment avoidance)”. Traditionally, a single click on would use pathfinding, whereas holding down the mouse button or activating AutoRun would use directional motion.
Within the Unity 2022 / massive QOL replace, this technique was by accident damaged, in order that holding down the mouse button would additionally do pathfinding. We’ve restored this as earlier than the replace, which is what most of you needed, however we’ve additionally added an choice within the Settings menu to nonetheless use pathfinding, for the few of you preferring so.
Loot All
The function you all needed is lastly stay! There isn’t a lot else to say – this button a large time-saver, significantly for gamers with increased latency.
Notice: the performance is for looting monsters solely, not different gamers in PvP. Additionally, we’re already engaged on computerized loot splitting when a number of gamers have loot rights over the identical monster.
