🚀 Final Demo Optimization Playtest: Test our new FPS boost!

Gold Mining Simulator 2 Demo · published 3 months ago

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hey Miners,

During our last closed playtest, your feedback was clear: the core gameplay is fun, but the performance needed serious work. Our team has spent the last few weeks deep in the engine room focusing entirely on optimization. We are thrilled to report that we are seeing a solid 10-30% boost in FPS internally!

🔍 Calling All CURRENT Playtesters!

We just pushed an update to the Playtest branch on Steam. If you already have access to the playtest from the previous wave, we need your help for one final verification!

If you previously experienced stuttering, low frame rates, or general performance issues, please update the game, jump back onto the claim, and let us know if it runs smoother.

Once you've tested the new build, please take a minute to fill out this short survey. Your feedback will confirm if our fixes worked:

🛑 No New Invites For This Round

We want to be completely transparent with the rest of the community to avoid any disappointment. We are not granting any new access or opening new spots for this update. We know many of you are eager to play and were frustrated about not getting an invite last time. Please understand that this specific update is strictly a technical verification of the code using the existing pool of testers. We aren't adding gameplay content, just testing frames.

🗓️ Public Demo is coming in June!

If you don't have playtest access, you won't have to wait much longer. Once our current testers confirm that the optimization patch is stable, we will be ready to release the fully open Public Demo for everyone next month!

Thank you to everyone testing the frames, and thank you to the rest of the community for your incredible patience. We are almost at the finish line!

— The Gold Mining Simulator 2 Team
