Patch 3 is now live!

Reality Break Patch 3 has gone live as version 1.1.1.

Dev notes: This patch includes some new Ascension Auto-Talents as catchup from v1.1, along with a raft of fixes and other improvements.

If you are experiencing super low frame rates, please update your graphics driver or rollback to a version that worked. We realize this may sound a little like boilerplate IT Support 101, but it's not: we have gotten player reports of 200%-300% fps increases after replacing a problematic driver. However, we are still investigating various performance issues reported by some players.

DLC Survey

Also, as we look ahead to next year, one of the options in front of us is to produce paid DLC for Reality Break. We would love to gauge player interest in this, so we've prepared a few questions for you. This will greatly help us in understanding what players would want out of an expansion! (the link below is for the English survey, and we will announce translated versions when available)

Thank you for playing Reality Break! :)
