Ahh General Patch Notes I’ve been expecting you!

EmbryStarred · May 26, 2020, 4:03pm

Great patch! One thing for quality of life I would love to see in an upcoming patch is making the audio for mimic distorted only while a predator is using thermal vision:)

Earmack · May 26, 2020, 4:06pm

Again no bump ps4pro resolution? Shame.

Coffee2Go · May 26, 2020, 4:07pm

I don’t see any FPS improvements on PC btw guys… You sure you guys optimized the performance?

aaronBLUEeyes · May 26, 2020, 4:09pm

Bongo989 · May 26, 2020, 4:10pm

It was a problem with the Anti aliasing. Its says that the fixed it now

APetro96 · May 26, 2020, 4:11pm

Very happy with this!!!

aaronBLUEeyes · May 26, 2020, 4:11pm

What is this, and what does it mean?

ylterysh · May 26, 2020, 4:13pm

better graphics pretty much or at least they should be a bit more crisp

Broomers1138 · May 26, 2020, 4:13pm

Bye bye FT scout

obe4477 · May 26, 2020, 4:16pm

Like the Update but how come there still no fix for cross-play invites?

Bayn_11 · May 26, 2020, 4:17pm

they are two forms of anti-aliasing, i.e. techniques to “smooth the edges” of the ingame polygons. TXAA is a better version of it. Essentially it should look smoother and less blurry

G-bomb82 · May 26, 2020, 4:18pm

Sounds like something between Epic and PS needs to be worked out from my reading between the lines

descry · May 26, 2020, 4:18pm

Any chance of getting the full patch notes instead of this random highlights feed?

aaronBLUEeyes · May 26, 2020, 4:19pm

Thanks much 👍 I’m a graphic designer and totally get what you’re saying because we deal with different interpolation methods when working in After Effects or Photoshop for instance.

Droopsnoop · May 26, 2020, 4:21pm

You are a bold one
