Hey fellow Runners!

Here's a quick bug splat update! The new FoV visualization introduced two weeks ago had some occasional but drastic performance issues and random white blinking happening from time to time, those should be in a better shape now.

During the Summer Sales, plenty of new faces appeared on Discord (more than 200!). We got some great feedback and community interactions, keep 'em coming!

To celebrate the growth of our Discord channel, we’re organizing a PVP event this Thursday evening European time. The game mode will be announced later!

Here’s the change log for 1.53’s tweaks and fixes:
