- Significantly improved overall reflections of the map
- Improved lighting system related to: Screen-Space Ambient Occlusion, light temperature, shadow
amount, volumetric, dual and directional in scattering fog and source angle
- Fixed duplicated skill crates in Prison
Optimization & Graphical Settings
- Improved in-game optimization pipeline related to (un)loading, (un)drawn objects policy and objects details reducing over distance of the entire map
- Increased objects streaming efficiency
- Optimized the objects instancing of Secondary Points of interest such as :SurvivalCamps, RoadBlocks, Trains, etc...
- Decreased overall micro stutters & FPS drops / hitches
- Optimized Auto-Exposure Metering Mode
