[b]Audio[/b]
As part of our Early Access goals we have been eagerly waiting to get back to the audio of the game where we know we can move the dial leaps and bounds. We have moved forward with these efforts and have spent the time to craft an audio relevance and distance manager to emulate the actual distant battlefield noise while still maintaining our focus on optimization. Through some clever architecture we can now hear battle sounds ranging across the map but don't have to actually calculate the unseen players several km's away. This coupled with our 32 player servers has given a really nice boost to our soundscape as ranging battles can be heard ringing out in the distance. Look forward to more improvements in this area as we enter our next dev cycle including a overhaul to our boom sounds!
Thanks to the wonderful assets created by the geniuses over at Aftertouch Audio we will be able to rapidly increase the quality and fidelity of the Exfil environment.

[b]The Range[/b]
As an ongoing WIP we have introduced a training range where operators can try out weapons, test their shooting skills or generally goof around and have fun. We will continue to build out this space as we gather feedback.
Pickup existing weapons from the armoury

[h2]AMD FSR 3 and Nvidia DLSS 3.5 [/h2]
We have integrated the latest from AMD and Nvidia in the frame generation and upscaling field. Early test results show improvements of 15-30% more frames (and some even higher). Also based on consumer feedback we have made FSR available to Nvidia users as apparently it works great on those cards too!
Be sure to carefully note the best settings for your video cards and give us all and any feedback in our discord!

All this and an additional 100+ bugs fixes and additional Quality of life improvements.
