Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II

Hi everyone.While we continue work on the next update, we’ve made a new build available on the optional public_beta branch on Steam.This build includes further work aimed at improving game performance. Our internal testing across a range of hardware has been very encouraging, but PC performance can vary considerably between different systems, so we’d like to test the update more widely before considering a full public release.If you’ve previously experienced poor performance in Mechanicus II, we’d particularly appreciate you trying the beta and letting us know whether you see an improvement, no meaningful change, or any new issues.For feedback and bug reports, please use our bug report form. Where relevant, please include your CPU, GPU, resolution, graphics settings and whether you’re using DirectX 11 or DirectX 12.To access the public beta:Right-click Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II in your Steam Library.Select Properties.Open the Betas tab.Enter mechanicus2beta into the private beta access code field and select Check Code.Select public_beta under Beta Participation.Steam should then automatically download the build.To return to the current public version, select None from the sam

This new bug fix update focuses on confirmed gameplay, progression, stability, visual, and localisation issues reported since release. This includes fixes for several mission blockers, crashes and combat or skill-related problems, alongside a new setting intended to reduce CPU load on some systems.We know some players are still waiting for further improvements to performance and other technical issues, this update is not intended to address that. The broader optimisation work continues separately and we'll share updates on that as soon as we can.You can find the full list of changes below. The changelog is available in English only.Campaign and ProgressionFixed missions becoming impossible to start after investing in Scaevola’s Eradication Ray upgrades while she had numerous active perks.Fixed the Forge City Assault mission failing to trigger after awakening all three tombs surrounding Zeocene.Fixed the Mission Failure screen not appearing when Faustinius was defeated during the final skirmish of Jaws of Defeat.Fixed Command Protocols disappearing after loading an autosave during the final skirmish of Regicide.Combat, Skills and UnitsFixed a brief freeze when the Lokhust Heavy

Hi everyone. Today, we’re releasing a major technical update for Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II, built around an upgrade to a newer version of Unity. Internal testing and feedback from the public beta of this build indicate that the upgrade improves baseline performance and optimisation across a wide range of hardware configurations. However, performance gains will vary depending on your system and settings, and we want to be clear that some players may see limited or no noticeable improvement from the engine upgrade alone. To provide greater control over performance, the update also introduces two new graphics settings: Mesh LOD Quality: Controls the level of detail used for 3D models at a distance. Reducing this setting may improve performance, particularly during larger or more visually demanding skirmishes.Background Effects: Controls the visual effects displayed in the backgrounds of environments. Reducing or disabling these effects may improve performance in affected areas.We recommend experimenting with these settings to find the best balance between visual quality and performance for your system.We have also added a much-requested option to restart a mission from the War M

Hello everyone.As previously mentioned, the team is currently working on a performance-focused update for Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II. This build includes a major engine update, with the aim of delivering meaningful performance and optimisation improvements.The build is still undergoing testing on our side. However, because PC performance can vary significantly depending on hardware, drivers, settings, Steam cache state and other system-specific factors, we also want to gather feedback from a wider range of real player setups before moving the update to the main live branch.For that reason, we’re making the upcoming performance update available through an optional public Steam beta branch.This will allow players who are currently experiencing performance issues, or who simply want to help test the build, to try it ahead of the full release and share feedback with us.Beta Branch DetailsBranch name: public_betaBranch password: mechanicus2betaInstructions on how to access the branch:Right-click Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II in your Steam Library.Select Properties.Go to Betas.Enter the beta access code above.Select the beta branch from the dropdown once it appears.Allow Steam to
