Hey Exanimates,
Everything is up and running again with the new weapons system in place. This adds support for a large number of new features and improvements, for now we are focusing on basic weapon flips, but there's a few other things we want updated even if not yet fully functional so that we don't need to patch things again in the near future. We need to do lots of updates to our procedural weapon factories which include thousands of components, but fortunately these mostly don't require any patching.
We've also finally started taking a serious look at the AMD performance issues. The game runs far worse than it should on AMD and Windows (yet totally fine on Linux), we know this is an issue with the driver, and if we can pinpoint the issue exactly we may be able to work around it or work with AMD to resolve it.
We are still looking at doing one final fairly substantial arena update before we move on from all things combat and arena, but before that we'll be doing some smaller beta branch updates just to make sure everything works properly with all the back-end changes.
That's it for this week, we're pretty sure we've covered everything now with the weapons system changes to wrap it up and we've got various general fixes done too so we're eager to get it all tested and things updated.
Have a great week!
