This patch is our heartfelt tribute to both the weathered Explorers already familiar with the puzzles and riddles of Castle Rock, and the fresh faces on the verge of escaping Castle Rock for the first time. We are committed to delivering the finest experience possible to all Explorers! Our team at Total Mayhem Games has been working relentlessly over the past few months to create Patch 1.2. We have incorporated approximately 200 enhancements to enrich your Antarctic adventure and ensure smooth exploring. With the new patch, FPS performance improves significantly as shown in the image below.
In addition to these enhancements available to all players, we are happy to announce that We Were Here Forever now supports NVIDIA DLSS! This means that all players with a compatible NVIDIA graphics card now experience a boost of up to 50% in performance and efficiency.
