The Withering Update 2.0.0.25 is now live!
Hello everybody!
I'm very excited to introduce with this update the new wilderness free roam exploration gameplay mode, that I was talking about for quite some time now! The new map is now available and can be accessed from the camp, in HUB vendors area.
Important Information
Players are strongly encouraged to provide feedback on the new map and gameplay. Please keep in mind that this is still a work in progress and some parts of the map and gameplay might be a bit rough on the edges.
The landscape has not yet been fine tuned and players might see some broken / rough terrain in several places. These elements will be addressed once the map is complete and I will be able to do the final fine tuning run across all terrain.
The draw distance settings have been adjusted for the new expansion. Please configure them accordingly for your systems.
I would very much appreciate the feedback on performance and memory consumption while playing on a new map. Please provide your findings in this post.
The Wilderness
The new map consists of a very large rural area, with multiple locations for players to explore and loot. Most of the locations have one or more active events, and equipment crates.
Currently about 50% of the map has been constructed and available with this update. Additionally, a map "M" by default, has been added for the new exploration expansion.
This update also addresses multiple issues that were reported by the community or discovered during internal testing.
What's Next?
I will keep working intensively on the exploration map construction, and with the next update I plan to have it completed 100% and available. I will be posting a development update with details and estimated release date soon.
