Hi Hurtworldians,

Tonight's hotfix focuses mainly on improving server performance. While this patch won't give big gains, it gives us the tools to profile our servers and determine whats causing the lag spikes.

Players being starved of entity spawns should be now fixed.

Ram optimisation on the client should have also improved a lot. Low ram mode has been moved into the game options and will automatically turn on for anyone with less than 5gb of ram. This is a quick fix for people with 4gb of ram struggling to get into game, we will likely improve the solution in future so everyone can have access to full res textures.

We are working around the clock to isolate the server performance issue, I have high hopes everything will be sorted by the weekend.

Happy hunting!
