In order to fix a crash that was happening on certain laptops with Intel chips we have had to update the Unreal Engine version Empires of the Undergrowth is built on. Doing so may have some performance improvements but mostly the experience should be the same. Weve done plenty of testing ourselves but a change like this is systemic, so any part of the game could have issues that weve missed. We are running this beta to make sure there are no hidden bugs that cropped up during the engine update, and we appreciate anyone who can spend some time testing any and all aspects of the game for problems. If you would like to join the beta, the code is givemeextraextra. If you dont know how to join a beta and would like to, follow the instructions below: [quote][olist]
