We Hear You – Bug Fix Update and Ongoing Optimisation Work

First, thank you to everyone who has reported issues and shared feedback since the launch of Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II.

We know we’ve been quiet since launch. That hasn’t been because we’re ignoring the issues being raised – it’s because the team has been focused on investigating, fixing and preparing updates as quickly as possible.

We’re painfully aware that many players are experiencing performance issues, including lower than expected frame rates and unusually high GPU utilisation. Improving performance is a critical priority for us, and work is continuing on a more substantial optimisation update.

Today’s update addresses a number of commonly reported bugs and includes a small FPS improvement for many players. However, we want to be clear that this update is not intended to resolve the main performance concerns raised by players. That work is ongoing and will require a further update.

We understand how frustrating these issues are, and we appreciate your patience while we work to address them. We’ll share more details on the optimisation update as soon as we’re able.
