ContractVille News

[p]Hello Contractors![/p][p]The 1.8.4 update is now live for ContractVille! While our team is hard at work on the next optimization phase, we are rolling out some essential groundwork today.[/p][p]In our upcoming patches, we will be introducing a PSO (Pipeline State Object) update. To put it simply, PSO caching is a system that pre-loads assets and shaders to prevent those annoying micro-stutters or sudden frame drops. To get the best possible performance out of this upcoming system, we’ve made several material improvements in today's patch. While you might not see a massive FPS jump right away, these material changes are crucial steps to ensure a significantly smoother and more fluid gameplay experience when the PSO update drops.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]🛠️ Bug Fixes & Improvements[/h3]
