RIFTSTORM

Your feedback matters.Hey everyone,We have been reading your discussions, reviews, bug reports, and feedback. A few issues are coming up more often than anything else, so we wanted to share what we are currently working on and our present order of priority.We know that “we hear you” only means something when fixes follow. This is not an exhaustive patch list, and priorities may move if we find something more critical, but this is where the team’s attention is currently going as head into the weekend.1. Severe FPS Drops and Simulation Thread CountWe are working to safely raise the default Simulation Thread Count while investigating the root causes of the performance issue within our multiplayer engine. Until that work is complete, players experiencing extremely low FPS after entering a mission should continue setting Simulation Thread Count to 2 under Options > Settings.We have also implemented a fallback for players who encounter this issue last patch: The game will automatically adjust the relevant settings, although you will need to restart the client for the change to take effect. If the mission is cancelled because of this issue, you should not receive any penalty. If the is

Fixes small error that may cause an error during Offline Build initialization. This fix should apply to all regions.

ATTN Weavers:Our first update is here.First, thank you to everyone who has jumped into RIFTSTORM, shared feedback, reported issues, and helped us understand where we need to focus first. We’re still very much at the beginning of Early Access, and these first hours are already giving us a lot to work with. A lot of this work has been in the pipeline for awhile, but as your input continues to flow in, we wanted to get a first iteration into your hands as quickly as we could rather than wait for everything to be perfect.Solo-Offline BetaVersion 0.6.1 introduces a Solo-Offline Beta mode for players who want to play RIFTSTORM without connecting to the online service.Your save data should be compatible between Online and Solo-Offline play, and you can choose which mode you’d like to use when launching the game.We’re calling this a Beta for now while we continue testing it across a wider range of player setups and use cases. One of the larger technical hurdles has been adapting the multiplayer architecture RIFTSTORM was built around to support a stable offline experience.We hope this first implementation allows players to move reliably between Offline and Online play, and we’ll continue w

ATTN: Weavers, With RIFTSTORM launching in just a few hours, we’re taking the Steam Demo offline.The reason is pretty simple: we need to focus the team on the main game build. There are still issues we’re actively working through, and at this point we’d rather put all of our development and QA time into getting fixes, updates, and improvements onto the version of RIFTSTORM everyone will actually be playing at launch.The demo is also an older branch of the game, and we haven’t been able to give some of its remaining issues the attention they deserve. Keeping it online would mean splitting our focus between two increasingly different builds at exactly the moment we need that focus most.Thank you to everyone who played the demo, reported bugs, sent us feedback, and helped us shape RIFTSTORM along the way. A huge amount of what we learned from those sessions has gone directly into the game.For now, we’re putting our heads down and focusing on launch.See you in a few hours, Operatives.
