ANEURISM IV News

The Fabric of Society update introduces a cosmetic system with 45 new garments to drape over your hollowed-out husk—because if society’s crumbling, you might as well look decent on the way down, right?

More importantly, we’ve finally solved the dreaded rubberbanding issue that has plagued ANEURISM IV for so long. Movement is smooth, network stutters are gone, and the entire database system is now fully asynchronous, resulting in a massive performance leap. This is a foundational update—expect faster systems, sharper threads, and fewer ways to cheese the taxman. We'd like to thank everyone who helped us test this bug update. We really appreciate your help and support!
