[h1]Major Update 1.3: Performance Boost & Revamped Aesthetic[/h1] [h2] Post-Processing [/h2] Locations now have a simulated measure of GLOOM and HEAT, both of which impact location look and feel. Darker darks, less flat looking generally, greater lighting clarity. Here's a 20 second video showing some selected before and after shots: https://youtu.be/qTnMnxkpbsc The GLOOM setting can be adjusted. Look under [b]Settings > Display > More[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40406344/1287f739ff510a47c49fab3fd7fdd0437b957c0d.png[/img] Set GLOOM to 0% to get back to the 'classic' look (i.e. how things looked before this update). Or increase it for a more moody vibe. [h2] Performance [/h2] A tonne of unexciting under-the-hood changes to render frames faster. Pretty decent result - on an NVidia GTX 1070 (the min recommended spec) seeing a +50%-ish framerate improvement. An important first-step towards console ports. And should mean a much better experience playing on Steam Deck.
