F***.

But yeah, for the most part, when it comes to stability for the game, this is actually one of the most stable releases we've had.

I do want to touch a little bit on performance as well and talk a little bit about that.

So from the data that we can see, for the vast majority of players, the performance is actually on par, if not better, than it was before.

And it's nice to see that a lot of people are having a pretty smooth experience with the game.

But that's not the case for everyone and I kind of want to acknowledge like for some of those people that are seeing like worse performance on update 8 than in 7.

Whenever I talk to people that have run into performance issues, it has for the most cases been due to hardware not meeting minimum requirements and running out of VRAM and that kind of stuff.

It's important to note that with this update, we needed to raise the minimum requirements for the game.

And we might need to revisit this maybe more in the future to better fit which cards we list in the minimum requirements.

Because there might be some cases where some hardware are fit to fight in terms of performance, but doesn't have drivers that are maintained anymore.

And we realized that this is really frustrating for people that maybe don't meet the minimum requirements and were able to play the game before but can't now.

And you know, this is sort of the backside of working on a game that is in early access and still being in active development, having to sort of leave people behind in this regard.

The thing was that when we were in Update 7, we were sort of pushing the engine as far as we could in terms of what we were using it for and what we could do.

And we saw a lot of potential in doing even more.

Now we're sort of more primed to be able to better optimize the game and go even further on current-gen hardware.

So we feel a lot more optimistic with the new engine, being able to do more with the game than we were able to do before.
