[p]Hey, hunters! Today’s update is a technical one. It brings a few new optimization features (you’ll find them in the Settings), along with several quality-of-life tweaks.[/p][p]We’ve also done some general under-the-hood optimization, and added an integration we think some streamers will appreciate. Let’s dive into the details…[/p][p][/p]

Chaos Tricks

[p][/p][p]Good news for everyone who streams Ghost Exile—or loves watching it! You can now let your viewers make an already tough run even harder. Trigger a hunt? Easy. Hit the streamer with another jumpscare? Be my guest. It’s your stream… but it’s their rules.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]

Technical Summary & Optimizations

[p]A heads-up you’ll care about: we’ve upgraded our Unity engine version after a serious security vulnerability was discovered in older releases.[/p][p][/p][p]FSR & DLSS support added. You’ll find new options in Settings—test them out and tune upscaling to your preference![/p][p][/p][p]Optimized tent tool rendering. When you’re far enough away (okay, not that far), tools now swap to low-poly placeholders to save performance.[/p][p][/p][p]Optimized spatial (3D) audio. Significantly reduced CPU usage.[/p][p][/p][p]Added a frame rate limiter. Cap your FPS in Settings to help reduce CPU load.[/p][p][/p]

Quality of Life & Other Changes

[p][/p][p]Improved photo quality & journal zoom. Photos look sharper, and you can now zoom them in the Journal.[/p][p]Tripod auto-capture. A camera placed on a tripod will automatically take a photo when a ghost enters its field of view.[/p][p][/p][p]Claustrophobia ghost behavior. It no longer interacts with items that haven’t been touched by a player since the start of the match.[/p][p][/p][p]Smarter contract ghost selection. The system now prioritizes ghosts you haven’t encountered in a while.[/p][p][/p][p]Improved favorite-room algorithm. More consistent, context-aware selection with fewer random shifts.[/p][p][/p][p]Seal mechanics (sequential). Only the first intact seal now blocks hunts; the rest activate one by one as the previous is broken. Previously, every seal could block a hunt independently.[/p][p][/p][p]Burning the curse on a ghost’s favorite item no longer triggers an immediate hunt—it now starts after a short delay.[/p][p][/p][p]Oni (Level 3) footsteps. Now louder and more distinct.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Next up: the event. We’re shifting focus to it now and aim to release it within the next couple of weeks![/p]
