1. Improvements and New Features
  2.  
  3. Hello KeepUp Survival Community,
  4.  
  5. We are pleased to announce that another update has been carried out, bringing additional improvements and minor changes.
  6.  
  7. A particularly important innovation affects all current and future players, regardless of their hardware: thanks to AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3.
  8.  
  9. To ensure that these features can be used smoothly, it is important to reset the graphics settings once. Any changes to the graphics settings should be followed by a restart to ensure that the settings are properly applied.
  10.  
  11. Performance Boosts Thanks to FidelityFX Super Resolution
  12.  
  13. To optimize performance, you can now use AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3, or "FSR" for short, in the graphics settings. This option is available to both AMD and Nvidia graphics card users.
  14.  
  15. By enabling FSR on Native AA, the frame rate has already been doubled.
  16.  
  17. Optimal settings for maximum performance:
  18.  
  19. For the best performance on Ultra settings, we recommend enabling FSR along with native AA and a sharpness setting of 0.5. Optionally, you can also set shadows to medium for further improvements.
  20.  
  21.  
  22. Additional Feature: Anti-Aliasing
  23.  
  24. A new anti-aliasing option has been added to improve image quality and make edges appear even smoother. (FXAA, TAA, MSAA, and TSR)
  25.  
  26.  
  27.  
  28. Graphics Improvements Related to FSR
  29.  
  30. Due to the earlier switch from UE4 to UE5, there were some issues that needed to be fixed. The graphic representation also did not reach its desired potential. Thanks to fixing a bug, the graphics now look sharper and clearer.
  31.  
  32.  
  33.  
  34. General Performance Improvements
  35.  
  36. Many aspects have been revised to improve performance. If you still want to get a bit more performance, set the shadows to medium. The differences in representation are minimal, but it helps improve frame rates.
  37.  
  38. Further Improvements and Bug Fixes
  39.  
  40. Object Highlights
  41.  
  42. From now on, certain objects will be highlighted to help you see them better and more clearly.
  43.  
  44.  
  45.  
  46. Oxygen
  47.  
  48. Your character can no longer dive indefinitely. On the left side of the screen, you will find an oxygen display. When it runs out, your character takes significant damage.
  49.  
  50.  
  51. Sprinting
  52.  
  53. There were two small bugs with sprinting that have been fixed. On one hand, the display continued even after stopping sprinting. On the other hand, it was possible to sprint indefinitely by pressing W and A/D simultaneously. Both issues have now been resolved.
  54.  
  55. Paraglider
  56.  
  57. A small error in the paraglider that affected lateral movements has been fixed. You can now glide through the air smoothly again.
  58.  
  59.  
  60.  
  61. Vehicles & Horses
  62.  
  63. It was previously possible to drive vehicles underwater easily. This is no longer possible. When you reach a certain water depth with a vehicle, your character will automatically get out. The vehicle despawns after about 3 minutes and reappears at the last save point, including any loot. These 3 minutes give you the opportunity to retrieve your loot from the vehicle if desired. The same applies to horses.
  64.  
  65.  
  66.  
  67. Horses
  68.  
  69. The camera control has been slightly improved, making transitions smoother. The camera has been fixed, leading to better control behavior.
  70.  
  71. Animation errors and jumping issues have been fixed.
  72.  
  73. Further improvements are planned to make the horse more dynamic.
  74.  
  75.  
  76.  
  77. Vehicles
  78.  
  79. When getting into the vehicle, there was an issue where the character was not completely removed. You could see the shadow and weapons hanging in the air and hear the character's footsteps. This problem has now been resolved, so such errors should no longer occur.
  80.  
  81. Character
  82.  
  83. The camera control has been improved, making movements smoother and more pleasant. This leads to an overall better gaming experience.
  84.  
  85. Controller Support
  86.  
  87. Due to numerous requests, we have improved and adjusted the controls for vehicles, horses, and now also the paraglider. You should now be able to play these with your controller. If the control is still not quite optimal, please let us know.
  88.  
  89. Bug Fixes
  90.  
  91. Numerous other small bug fixes have been carried out.
  92.  
  93. If you've read this far, thank you for your attention!
  94.  
  95. And you are the person to first know that a homemade helicopter is in the works. You can use it for exploration, and transport options are also planned.
