Patch 0.4.2 Has Been Released

Hello friends,

Patch 0.4.2 for Grounded 2 is now available to all players. Thank you again for your patience; we greatly appreciate the reports everyone has submitted to our support team! We hope this update will address the performance issues you've been experiencing.

Performance Optimizations:

• Reduced the streaming range of the player, so that less things now load at one time. This should cause significantly less hitching around the Park
  • This will cause all resources to re-grow through your bases
• Performance around player bases and the Park have been optimized to reduce stutters and hitching
  

Omni-Tool Change:

• Due to the changes listed above, we have changed the Omni-Tool to one-hit all resources that are re-growing only through player-built structures
  • This will occur again in the 0.5 "Into the Abyss" Update on August 11
  • We expect this to be taken full advantage of, have fun.
    

Crashing/Stability:

• Fixed various crashes in 0.4.2.
  • 35% of the crashes hit in 0.4.1 should be fixed in 0.4.2

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed an issue where AXL could be softlocked mid fight and roar infinitely
• Fixed an issue that was causing Half Int. Corner Stairs to change and rotate into a different position
