We've DOUBLED Performance
Over the last several weeks we've been working hard on optimizing every single aspect of the game and we've successfully cut the frame time in half compared to a build from early 2022. This means that if you were getting 72 FPS in early 2022, you would now be able to get 144 FPS with the same setup.
Because of this focus on performance and stability, there aren't that many new exciting features to talk about. But if you haven't played VAIL much in UE5, now is the time to jump back in! This is the closest we've ever been to being as stable as UE4.27.

[h2]General Changes[/h2]
We'll keep improving stability, and we have lots of new features coming your way very soon.
See you all in-game!
Love you all, AEXLAB
