ThreadOne of the hardest-working dev teams of 2026 🔥 Thank you PEAK ABYSS 🙌
All I can say is holy fucking shit, the game IMMEDIATELY stopped being shimmery and was the most polished, clean looking I had ever seen it.

There are a lot of mechanics the game fail to thoroughly explain, but you don’t need to know most of them to enjoy how beautiful the world is and what it has to offer, just discover as you go.

ThreadDLC SHIPS! I WASN’T CRAZY
This game just has weird visual fidelity that sort of shifts between being great and terrible at times.

ThreadCan my Hardware cut it?
Main thing is I notice a fuzziness around objects and foliage moving in the distance doesn't look quite right, but I have trouble pinning down exactly how.

ThreadShimmering when raining and poor water quality
In particular, the game looks HORRIBLE when it rains, there's so much shimmer going on on the ground that it's hard to focus on anything else.

So I put around 20 hours into the game when it first came out, but I dropped it due to smudgy and grainy graphics and soulless poorly designed quests.

ThreadJumping back onto the game?
I really appreciate it and yeah I really do wanna get back into it because the world itself looks absolutely fantastic and I love a lot of of the things that come with the game I assume most of the bugs or at least some of them have been ironed out?

ThreadFinally fixed the visual bugs and got this running flawlessly at Max RT (Settings & small video showcase)
I also came across a mod (not a promo, just sharing) built on RenoDX, and it worked like magic to fix the remaining visual bugs I was facing.

ThreadI hate the general negative discourse this game seems to get on the internet especially on Reddit
Frames dropping to 17-22 range during boss fights (that is very broken since the game was barely functional when it was happening & crashed for a lot of people when it happened) the only time the game looked good was if it was daylight and not raining. Which is still an issue.
