The Light Brigade News

Hello Soldiers, today we are rolling some improvements and optimizations across from recent changes on the Quest branch of the game. This will help low quality settings in particular, but minor improvements to all quality levels. There are also some bug fixes for common recent issues to round it all out. Full change notes below!

Please Note: the LOD (Level of Detail) distance setting is now separate in the Video Settings menu. Please adjust it for your hardware as needed.

We are working on new content separately so expect to see more of that as we near the next content patch.
