[h2]PATCH 1.2.4[/h2][p]Server/Client Required[/p][p]This is a critical patch that we have to push this week because Windows 11 will be releasing 24H2 update next week that is not compatible with game version 1.2.3, so to ensure compatibility with W11/24H2 please update to game version 1.2.4.[/p][p]This patch does not include all the features we had planned for 1.2.4, those features are being pushed to 1.2.5 (and the previous 1.2.5 content is being pushed to 1.2.6).[/p][p]This patch should improve performance in the game substantially, with most 80% of testers reporting a substantial framerate improvement.[/p][p]This patch also prevents players from modifying their config files to remove foliage from the map, doing so will cause your game to crash.
