House Flipper 2 News

We're super proud to announce that our cooperation with AMD led to some new spicy results!
Today, House Flipper 2 receives one of the biggest updates in terms of visuals and performance.

AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3) is a big step towards making House Flipper 2 much smoother without having to step down on your preferred quality settings. It offers both upscaling and frame generation to help you achieve a new level of visual fidelity!

Check out the video preview showcasing this new feature:

Along with that, we also brought a couple of new maintenance changes, some of them specifically aimed at improving the situation for people experiencing motion sickness symptoms when playing HF2!
If you're one of those flippers, please let us know if that helped you even a little bit! ❤️


[hr][/hr][h3]📑 Lets take a look at the patch notes section:[/h3]


Maintanance:

• FSR updated to version 3 - enabling this option should improve the game's frame rate.
  
• Head camera position adjusted to reduce motion sickness.
  
• Default field of view changed from 60 to 70 - this adjustment should be better suited for people experiencing motion sickness.
  
• Instances where houses lose materials from walls and floors should no longer occur. However, materials that were lost before the update will not be restored.
  
• Damaged house files should no longer cause players to become stuck on an endless loading screen.
  
• Optimization of larger plots.

[h3]🎥 3... 2... 1... ACTION![/h3]

It's nice to chill out with the House Flipper community, answer some questions, share some sneak peeks, and generally just stay in touch with you guys!



That's why we're hosting another stream, no specific occasion, just thought to make it more of a regular thing!
