[p]About Micro Stutters[/p][p]We've had some reports of people playing on 4k resolution monitors with high refresh rates (120hz and above) encountering performance issues. This is something we are looking into and testing across various monitors and configurations to identify the cause. Whilst we look into this, we ask that anyone experiencing these issues please drop a comment in our bug section of steam forums with your GPU, CPU, and type of drive you have Beneath installed on so we can get as many variations confirmed of people encountering this (especially important if you are NOT running 4k or above 60fps) Thank you for your patience whilst we investigate this, we'll be updating you all as soon as we have some conclusive updates![/p][p] [/p][p]Thank You & Stay In Touch[/p][p]Your feedback is invaluable. Every bug report, screenshot, clip, review and stream helps us make Beneath better. If you encounter something not listed above, please drop it in our Steam Discussions or share a ticket with specs, reproduction steps, etc. We’re committed to supporting this game long‑term, improving the experience, and making the depths you explore feel immersive, stable and scary.[/p][p]Thanks for playing, thanks for diving deep, and thanks for helping us fix the rough edges.[/p]
