Hey Awesome people,
I wanted to update you guys quickly to let you know what is going on.
First of all thank you all for your support and patience through this journey, we have a vision and ambition that needs time to make great.
Sadly I had some family stuff going on a few weeks ago. My mother passed away and we have alot of work to do IRL to make make sure everything is handled properly and right.
That means I have not been working on YFR a lot the past few weeks. And I will not have the amount of time I used to have before this, for a while.
In the mean time we noticed alot of people having issues with their memory and the game somehow hogging all of it and basically choking their PC.
Long story short here is the deal for the upcoming weeks/month(s):
The Farming Update is as good as done, I was mostly tweaking some settings, timers and code.
However with the memory issues I feel not completely comfortable releasing the farming update in the current state.
I have been doing alot of optimization where I could but this might not be enough.
[b]So.. What I'm going to do is: [/b]
I'm going to completely check and optimize/replace the code base/foundation we build upon. To make sure it is the best it can be, this will take some time. But will yield great results in the long run.
At the same time we are aiming for a Realistic looking game Graphics wise and we use Unreal Engine 5 and their new features which (at least for now) come at a price.
UE5 is still being developped and optimized by Epic Games and it will take time for them to see what kind of Specs they can run their features on. This will probably change somewhat in the coming year, meaning lower specs than current might be able to use the newer engine features.

YFR is still not dead, we need some time to make everything work better, we hear your concerns, we appologize. And to make matters worse Real Life is gonna demand more of me as well.
I'll keep you guys updated.
Thanks again for your patience.
