Dear players, On behalf of the Northenlight Studios team, we are thrilled to present the most comprehensive and deeply.

🔍 More Than Just an Update: A Core Overhaul

This release is not a simple patch—it's a rebirth of the game’s core systems. Here are some of the highlights:

⚙️ FPS & Performance Improvements

• Critical issues like sudden FPS drops, input lag, and mini-freezes in certain map areas have been largely resolved.

☁️ Fully Activated Dynamic Weather System

🚧 Death-Related Crashes Resolved

• We’ve fixed rare but critical "death crash" issues reported by some players that caused the game to close upon dying.
