V696 News — April 5, 2026
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Hey everyone,
We have just released a technical update for V696. This patch focuses entirely on the game's foundation to ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible.
\Core Changes\
Engine Migration: The game is now running on Unreal Engine 5.7. This update provides better long-term stability and compatibility with modern hardware.
Module Optimization: We conducted a deep cleanup of the project files, removing unused plugins and background processes that were previously consuming system resources.
Performance Boost: By streamlining the engine's core, we’ve managed to increase average FPS and significantly reduce micro-stutters, especially in physics-heavy areas.
\Why this update?\
While this isn't a content update, establishing a solid technical base is necessary. With the engine now modernized and optimized, we can focus on developing new mechanics and expanding the world of V696 more efficiently.
Thank you for your support.
