Fireside Chat: The Trail So Far

We’re back, Hikers!

We can’t believe it’s time for another Fireside Chat already! 

Following the Mariner update a couple of months ago, June and July, we have been heads down tackling bug fixes with patches extremely frequently. Again, thank you all for all your reports and patience. We have got so much done and also still have so much to do and we really could not do it with all of your help!

Because we have been patching so frequently, we wanted to give our players a heads up that during August, we will be pausing patches temporarily! Don’t worry, we’re not stopping for too long! We have a heavy task ahead of us on a big optimization patch which will be taking priority for the time being! While we have been chipping away at optimization, some of the bigger steps are just ahead of us and our priority will be improving the game’s performance for more people with lower specs. We’ll be communicating more of this progress in our Discord so if you would like to keep more up to date on this process, be sure to keep up with us there! 

While optimization will be the primary focus in August, we do have a couple streams of development we are always working away on! While we can’t quite share details YET, we have the Hunter Update currently in progress as well, so stay tuned for more on that ;). For those of you who have been hungry (get it?) for more wildlife and weaponry, this will be the update for you! 

There is still a lot ahead we’re excited to get to show you so thank you again for all your support. While we plan on less frequent patches while we focus on the big optimization tasks, please do continue with your reports and feedback! We’ll still be tracking reports and communicating with you all throughout the process :). 

We’ll see you again soon! Happy Hiking!
