Hey ranchers,
An optimisation and bug fix patch is now available for testing on the unstable branch! We want your help testing the patch before it goes live on the main branch!
This interim patch includes tweaked FSR and DLSS settings, as well as optimisations to some elements which were causing hits to performance such as anti-aliasing and chicken eggs. Large ranches with high volumes of animals should see improved FPS on some set ups.
This is in addition to the following:
- Optimized number of draw calls
- Optimized textures and materials of stones, grass, trees and buildings
- Removed unnecessary files from the game
- Fixed issues when mounting horses
- Fixed a bug with a mouse or gamepad when opening a building book
- Eggs now break again
- Fixed a bug where FSR made the picture too blurry
- Fixed a bug where it was impossible to turn off TSR
How to Access the Unstable Branch
- Load up Steam and head to your Library
- Right click on Ranch Simulator and then select ‘Properties’
- Head to the Beta tab and in the drop down select ‘unstable_branch’ (no password needed)
- This will then download the new build for you
What's Next?
Once this patch is live on the main branch, we'll be working on the horse breeding and tree growth update! Keep an eye out for more news.
