Anything can happen.
And the other thing is we have been working on upgrading Unreal Engine, the Unreal Engine that we're working in, to version 4.25.
There's lots of cool stuff in 4.25 that we want to use to make the game better and also should allow us to bring a bunch of optimizations or performance upgrades for you all
we hope you're gonna notice.
What we're also doing with that one, when that one goes live on experimental, we'll be adding some improvements to the multiplayer, mostly in terms of bandwidth and how the bandwidth is handled.
So we're hoping that that gives some improvement for playing together in multiplayer.
And like specifically one of the things it's supposed to be addressing is the
player character lag and creature lag that clients can experience mostly.
To make that better.
So yeah, that one is hopefully going to experimental still this year.
And maybe, maybe Charlie Access this year as well.
This really depends on the bugs, because engine upgrades can be quite heavy on bugs.
