[h3]We’re heading back into the fiery depths of the underworld with our second patch for Scathe 🐛[/h3] https://store.steampowered.com/app/1154830/Scathe/ First of all, we’ve added some major new functionality to improve performance and help make your journey through the infernal labyrinth that much easier! [h3]Alongside FSR 2.1 and DLSS, Scathe now supports [b]Intel XeSS[/b] 🔥[/h3] Whether you’re using an Intel GPU or not, this new technology will upscale performance without sacrificing image quality, so you can enjoy the underworld at high speed and in high resolution 😈 [h3]We’ve also included a few quality of life changes based on community feedback:[/h3] [b]Take Control[/b] - Lots of added controller support, so you never have to put that controller down again! [b]Hit Me With Your Best Shot[/b] - Hit point markers have been set in better locations above/around enemies for improved visibility. [b]Slide to the Left[/b] - Sliders in the gameplay settings are now smooth. [b]Look at Me![/b] - Visual highlights have now been added for any unread items in the gameplay menu.
