0.9.0F is Live on Staging! New optimization and quality settings! More fixes!
NOTE KNOWN ISSUE WITH TRUCKS BEING STUCK AFTER GETTING IN. BEING PATCHED AT 3PM EST. WORKAROUNDS IN THE MEANTIME: 1. GET OUT AND THEN BACK IN THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT WORKS. 2. CLICK THE TRUCK FROM RTS CAMERA.
In this patch my goal has been to add to and improve the quality settings menu to allow players, especially people having trouble running the game, to modify or toggle certain settings that are performance intensive in hopes that they can get improved performance with some of these changes. I also improved upon the Quality option which now are presets and effect all settings including the new ones. For example Very Low preset will disable things such as shadows, dynamic destruction, 3D Hose, charring effects, and lower your texture quality, while the ultra preset will max all those settings. Presets can be applied and then modified to exclude or lower specific settings. Optimization was another key goal in this patch and several optimizations were made. Along with these changes, several bugs have been addressed which can all be found below. We plan on continuing to optimize and improve the hose system, fix problematic bugs and start slowly shifting our attention to fixing the main multiplayer issues, EMS issues, and AI issues. Thanks for all your support! Were 1 week since the release of the update on the staging branch and already have 100+ fixes, changes, and optimizations logged over 6 different patches since. We don't plan on stopping!
