      mark my words we plan on fixing them okay so uh yeah you might be wondering what version of unreal engine 5 we're going to be upgrading to it's going to be unreal engine 5.1.1 i think i did mention that earlier but just putting putting it out there um you might be wondering why did we decide to do this change isn't a lot of work why did we decide to do that and the answer is because we're masochists all right we're game developers all right we hate ourselves

      Uh, no, but the real reason is that, like, um, this is future-proofing, we believe.

      We think it's necessary at some point to do it, and so we might as well just do it now.

      If we don't do it now, we have to do it later.

      But if we do it now, then we can get it over and done with and iron things out with you guys in the meantime, okay?

      So it's probably better to just do it now.

      There's other features that are, you know, super worth it, like the Chaos Physics System, uh, Lumen, um, we think there's gonna be long-term performance gains.

      Also, the World Petitioning System is just such a massive gain.

      Like, why wouldn't we want that, right?

      That was a huge deciding factor.
