    It’s basically fixed, however the lighting is still buggy. It always get way too bright or dark in certain environments, and there’s not much we can do with the graphics.

      I think they did a really good job on it. A few people have told me you can change a slider so it stays day time all the time when playing solo. I'm going to try it out tonight once I've finished my current articles/review.

    It is very commendable all the effort the developers went through to improve their game. I got it last year for Christmas and put in maybe 5 hours, really wish there was an option to go to sleep at night and wake up at daylight like Minecraft because for me that really stopped me playing, and honestly I found things to be kinda confusing

      The bloom doesn't seem to have too much of an impact on framerste which I found surprising, but washes out a lot of the details when facing the sun. I turn it off even through the trees look a bit rough, it just works better for me.

    I’d consider it abandoned at this point, not all the maps are released and about 90% of drops are broken and meshed into the ground rendering them useless. Also most island servers have obs blocked off, and with it drops good luck getting off servers
