  Patch Notes - Alpha v0.2.2

  Hey everyone,We're excited to announce that our first major post-launch content update, Patch v0.2.2, is now live! This patch is entirely focused on the massive performance overhaul we've been working on since the Alpha launch, based directly on your feedback. Thank you for your patience and for all the detailed reports that helped us track down these issues. You will need to restart your game client (Steam/Epic) to download the update. Major Performance Optimizations This patch is the result of our multi-week, map-wide optimization sprint. Foliage & VFX Overhaul: We have completed our initial optimization pass for all foliage (trees, grass, bushes) and the hundreds of particle systems used for visual effects across the entire main map. Technical Fixes: We've addressed major performance bottlenecks by fixing Nanite overdraw issues and significantly reducing shader complexity in visually dense zones like the Central Forest and Northeast Village. The Result: On our test hardware, these changes resulted in the average framerate jumping from ~30 FPS with heavy stuttering up to a smooth 70+ FPS. While performance will vary based on your machine, all players should experience a much more stable and fluid game. Visual & Environmental Fixes As part of the optimization pass, we also fixed numerous visual and environmental bugs: Wind System: Fixed an issue where wind effects were not synced across all foliage, making environments feel more cohesive and alive. Lighting & Shadows: Reworked lighting and shadows in several zones to fix visual bugs and improve atmosphere. Collision & Navigation: Cleaned up collision on props and foliage along pathways in areas like the Med Docks to prevent players from getting stuck. Known Issues High Memory (RAM) Usage: We are aware that the game's RAM usage is currently higher than our target. A dedicated pass to reduce the memory footprint is planned for a future update. Longer Initial Load Time: Some of the recent optimization changes have tem...

  Patch Notes - Alpha v0.2.1

  Hey everyone, We've just deployed our first post-launch patch, version 0.2.1. This update is a direct result of your immediate feedback from the first few days of our Early Access launch. Thank you for all the detailed reports! Changes Prologue Skip (Temporary): An option has been added to the main menu to allow players to skip the prologue and spawn directly in the main map. This is a temporary feature to make it easier to test new content as we add it. Fixes Startup Resolution: Fixed an issue that caused the game to start in an incorrect or unsupported resolution on some systems, which could lead to crashes or an unusable main menu. Boss Arena: Fixed an open hole in the boss arena environment that allowed players to fall out of the map. XP Cheat Removed: A debug command that incorrectly granted experience points when pressing the "2" key has been removed. Credits Screen: Added a credit that was missing from the credits screen. We are continuing to read all your feedback and log every report you send in. Please continue to share your thoughts and use the official bug report form for any new issues you encounter. Thanks again for your incredible support! The Rouge Studio Team

  Post-Launch Update & Our First Priorities

  Hey everyone, The launch has been amazing, and we've already gotten a ton of great feedback from all of you. Seriously, thank you. We've been listening to everything, and the team is already getting to work on the first batch of updates based on your experience. Here's what we're tackling first: 1. Performance & Optimization: Our first priority is working on performance, especially for the main map, to make things run smoother for everyone. 2. Prologue Skip Option: We're adding a temporary option to skip the prologue and jump straight into the main map. This will be particularly useful for testing out new features as we add them. 3. Save & Continue: We're implementing a save system so that when you complete the prologue, your progress is saved and you're automatically moved to the main map. This is our immediate focus, and it's all thanks to your feedback. It helps a ton, and we'll keep you updated on our progress! We're excited to build this with you, The Rouge Studio Team
