Enhancement Detail
Save System
Steam Cloud Integration: Cloud saves are now fully active. Your progress and unlocks are now safely backed up and synced across all your PCs automatically.
Engine
Unity 6.3 LTS Migration: The game has been moved to the latest Unity 6.3 Long Term Support engine, providing a significant boost to overall stability and modern hardware compatibility.
Co-op Performance
Optimized Multi-user Rendering: We implemented a new rendering path specifically for co-op sessions, resulting in up to 30% higher FPS when playing with others.
Networking
Co-op System Refactor: The networking code has been rebuilt for faster synchronization and a more reliable connection, drastically reducing lag and disconnects.
Rendering
Forward+ Transition: By switching to the Forward+ renderer, the game now handles complex light sources and shadows much more efficiently, especially in dark environments.
Graphics
Shader Graph Overhaul: All shaders have been rewritten from scratch. This optimization lowers GPU temperatures and ensures cleaner, more consistent visual effects.
Quality of Life
Improved Loading Times: Internal data restructuring accompanying the engine update has significantly decreased the time it takes to load into levels.
