      We really intend to work with you guys through the experimental period to make sure we can iron out as much as we can.

      Next question on people's minds will probably be stability.

      Is it going to be more stable now on Unreal Engine 5?

      Or is it going to be stable at all, really, on launch?

      Right now, at the time of recording, we're hoping that at the pace that we're at, things should be stable for the experimental release.

      Our game code is largely the same, it's just mostly the engine that has changed, but you never know, that's still a big change and there might be issues.

      But it is entirely possible that there are some Unreal Engine 5 related issues that we were unable to catch in-house.

      Or without external QA testing agency, we have that as well.

      And that, like, there's just no replacement for putting the game out there, out in the wild with you guys, to see what you guys catch, okay?

      So far, we think it's fine, like I was talking about before, but we never know what's gonna happen when we give it to, you know, hundreds of thousands of people, so...

      Yeah, and so the areas that we anticipate that might have some stability issues would be areas that have been reworked, for example, vehicles, that's a contender.

      But if you do run into issues with stability during the experimental period, the old version of the game, Unreal Engine 4 version of the game will still be on early access.

      So remember to back up your saves,

      test out the game, make sure it's stable for you before committing to your save files.

      And if it doesn't work out, switch back to early access and load your backed up saves, okay?
