Hey everyone, we're getting a lot of work done behind the scenes for a potential online multiplayer mode. But in the meantime here's a higher performance version of the game to help tide things over until we have that mode solved.

We've upgraded from the official FSR 1.0 provided by Unity and gone with a custom implementation of FSR 3.0! That's right, we skipped 2.0 because we were already fashionably late to the first party. With FSR 3 we're getting 90-120 FPS on Game of Thorns on a Mobile 3080Ti. We also added a Honk feature to the L1 button. Depending on the vehicle class you might see vehicles react to the honking...
