News - Immortals of Aveum : Version 2.0 nimmt die Performance aufs Korn

Der Magie-Shooter Immortals of Aveum verzauberte in der Release-Version nicht unbedingt durch technische Meisterleistungen. Das ist den Ascendant Studios ganz offensichtlich auch bewusst und deshalb liefern sie konsequent Patches nach. Jetzt steht das Update auf Version 2.0 bereit und das nimmt vor allem die Performance aufs Korn.

Bei einem First-Person-Shooter sollte die Performance im Fokus stehen. Immortals of Aveum mag zwar viel Magie bieten, zauberhafte Technik hatte das Spiel von den Ascendant Studios bisher aber nicht unbedingt. Die Entwicklerinnen und Entwickler scheinen sich dessen durchaus bewusst zu sein und werkeln entsprechend fleißig daran, die technischen Probleme auszumerzen.

Entsprechend steht jetzt Version 2.0 für PC, Xbox Series X/S und PlayStation 5 in den Startlöchern. Auch wenn ein großer Versionssprung auf tiefgreifende inhaltliche Änderungen deuten könnte, in diesem Fall werden vor allem technische Fehler angegangen.

So haben die Ascendant Studios einige Ursachen für Abstürze behoben, zudem wurde ein Bug, der Speicherstände überschreibt, weggezaubert. Zudem soll das Spiel nun insgesamt runder laufen und die Framerate weniger einbrechen.
