Lurking Danger News

After listening to the community and noticing that the game still suffered from significant frame drops on certain devices—especially during co-op play—this update aims to improve overall performance with a strong focus on the co-op mode. I’ve worked to reduce the most severe frame drops and hope this update brings a smoother experience.

It’s now possible to play co-op using a keyboard and mouse. If you connect only one controller, Player 1 will use the keyboard and mouse, while Player 2 will always be controlled with the gamepad. This change should make it easier to enjoy co-op even if you don’t have two controllers available.

Additionally, this patch fixes issues where one of the two players could become stuck and unable to move.

Other bugs have also been addressed, and several elements have been adjusted to improve the overall gameplay experience.

Note: You may need to readjust your camera sensitivity settings after this update, as some internal changes might have affected how it feels.

After hearing the community and realizing that the game has serious performance issues on some devices, I want to start by apologizing and sincerely thanking everyone who reported these problems. I’ve been working hard to identify the cause, but as I mentioned before, while the game runs fine on some systems, it crashes or performs poorly on others. That said, I remain fully committed to fixing these issues and improving the game. If this update doesn’t completely resolve the problems, I hope to address them in upcoming patches.

General optimization improvements, with a stronger focus on co-op mode, where the most severe performance issues were found. Naturally, co-op requires more resources since two screens are rendered simultaneously. If you're trying this mode, I recommend limiting your frame rate or lowering your graphics settings for better performance. This update should improve the situation overall.

Fixed a bug with shooting accuracy that caused bullets to miss more often than they should. Aiming should now be much more accurate, and most shots will land near the center of the crosshair. The game still features a sensitivity system where movement reduces accuracy, but with this fix, shooting should feel more precise and reliable.

Improved AI behavior for both enemies and your companion. Previously, she would shoot at walls or fail to respond properly. However, it’s important to note that her AI was never intended to overpower enemies or carry the fight—she’s meant to assist as someone with limited combat experience. She helps, but she won’t do everything.

Other minor fixes and tweaks to ensure a smoother, more polished experience.

Once again, thank you all for your support. I’m committed to bringing more updates and improvements. If you encounter any bugs or have feedback, please don’t hesitate to reach out—it's the only way I can keep making the game better.
