MAJOR BUG FIX: Tropics crash on AMD, Caldera performance and more!

[h3]Hello everyone! Thank you for being patient while we work to fix these issues. We never anticipated the speed of player count and we can't thank you enough for all the support ❤️ - we'll still continue to address further bugs but hopefully more of you can finally get back to PEAK.[/h3][p][/p][h2]MAJOR FIXES:[/h2]
  • [p]WE FIXED THE TROPICS CRASH on AMD hardware. It was just…the grass. For now, grass will be disabled but maybe in the future we can properly reintroduce it.[/p]
  • [p]Improved low framerate in the Caldera[/p]
  • [p]The game will now default to a new fullscreen mode: “Fullscreen Windowed”. This will hopefully fix issues where people aren’t seeing the cursor in Fullscreen Exclusive mode as well as issues when alt-tabbing.[/p]
[p][/p][h2]FEATURES:[/h2]
  • [p]There is now a settings option called “Lobby Mode” The default is the same as it is now but you can change it to “Invite Only” which will prevent others from being able to join the game without an invite.[/p]
  • [p]There is now an option to hold a key when passed out to “Give Up”[/p]
  • [p]It will now prompt you to press the sprint button when almost out of stamina. A lot of you were forgetting you could do this![/p]
[p][/p][h2]MINOR FIXES:[/h2]
  • [p]Fixed an issue where new Eye cosmetics unlocked at the end screen would say "New Hat" and feature the wrong shader[/p]
  • [p]Fixed an issue where the "You are a ghost" message would display when not fully dead[/p]
  • [p]Fixed some overlapping in the credits.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed an issue where you couldn't interact with your backpack during the endgame countdown.[/p]
[h2][/h2][p]If you're still having issues please report them in the discord or email [email protected] - please also check out http://landfall.se/troubleshooting for some general things to try. [/p][p][/p][h3]/Landcrab[/h3][h3][/h3]

Thank you for an incredible launch for PEAK! 
[h3]We’ve been tackling a bunch of bugs and responding to reports these past few days to allow as many players to peak as possible.

If you encounter any further bugs or issues, keep reporting in the Steam forums or through our email [email protected]

[p][/p][p]Bug-Fixes:[/p]
