A few hotfix updates released for BlastZone 2 v1.29.4.2

Two small hotfix updates have been released for the PC/Steam version of BlastZone 2. The first one fixes a startup crash issue when attempting to use the “Very High” or “Extreme” detail terrain without downloading the free DLC first.

The second hotfix update makes a few changes. This includes an improvement to framepacing when framerate caps are used. This fixes frame hitches when there are quick changes in the rendering workload, such as when many enemies explode at once.

Also, a new useGameUpdateMultithreading option has been exposed but is only accessible by manually editing the config file. This option is enabled by default to maximize performance, but can be disabled to reduce latency at a performance cost. Also, this update is built using the new Visual Studio 2019, bringing with it various optimizations and improvements, but doesn’t require any new runtime installs to work correctly.

Enjoy the new updates!
