Improved visuals in The Villa: We have made some adjustments based on player feedback to The Villa being “Too blurry”. These improvements should assist with overall visual clarity, but players can also disable the “Painterly Effect” in The Villa using the new options. 🏆
Painterly Effect Options: You have been asking for this, so here it is! Control the painterly effect with new settings—turn it on or off completely, or use it only in battles or the villa for a tailored visual experience. 🏆
Candle Flicker Accessibility Toggle: Customize your overworld journey map by enabling or disabling the flickering candle effect. 🏆
Migration to Unreal Engine 5.6: We have migrated all engine work to Unreal Engine 5.6 – which should improve overall performance and includes many crashes for users using NVIDIA 50xx series GPUs.
