Mist Survival News

Hello everyone,

In this patch, i've concentrated on improving performance and addressing potential issues that could lead to game crashes.

There are still areas experiencing hitching and fps drop issues, such as the Hotel, the village near the old abandoned school, and hunting area near the hotel. Resolving these issues is a priority, but it will take time. I am committed to fixing these and more in the next patch

[h3]Rework Work In Progress[/h3]

• Z1_Sector1
  

Currently, I'm reworking Zone 1, which means it will be temporarily unavailable. My plan is to divide it into smaller, more manageable sectors (like Zone0). The first sector, (Zone1_Sec1), will include the Old West town and shops. Each sector will be updated as soon as it's ready.

To facilitate this rework, I need to remove all existing assets first. This step is crucial for creating a new landscape that's easier to optimize, especially for distant assets which were challenging in the old layout.

In the upcoming patch, I'll also temporarily relocate the wild animals from Zone 1 to Zone 0. This includes herds of wild boars, wolves, and bear cubs.
