Public Beta Available – Engine Update to Unreal Engine 5.7.3

[p]A public beta version is now available on Steam, allowing us to test the transition to a new engine version together with you.[/p][p]As part of this update, we are moving from Unreal Engine 5.4.4 to Unreal Engine 5.7.3. This is an important step in the technical evolution of the game and lays the foundation for future improvements in performance, stability, and overall system quality.[/p][p]Since engine-level changes can affect systems differently depending on hardware, drivers, and individual configurations, we want to test this version under real-world conditions. The goal of this public beta is to gather as much feedback as possible from the community and identify potential issues early on.[/p][p]Your feedback will help us further optimize the new version and ensure a stable experience for as many players as possible.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]What to expect:[/p]

Based on our current findings, this is often caused by outdated graphics drivers.[/p][p]👉 Please make sure your GPU drivers are up to date.[/p][p]Additionally, the game may crash on startup if outdated mods (.pak files) are present in the mod folder and were created for earlier engine versions.[/p][p]👉 If you encounter a crash on launch, please check your mod folder and remove any mods that are not compatible with the current engine version.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]Important Notes:[/p]
