The Warhammer shooter Eternal Crusade has received a major update that significantly boosts performance on many machines.
The eternal war is now a bit prettier
On May 12, Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade received Patch 17, which upgrades the Unreal Engine 4 to version 4.11 and brings many optimizations. The result should be better performance on almost all machines.
But also apart from performance, there are numerous bug fixes and visual improvements that gradually put the game into a smoother state. At the end of a battle, there is now a clearer end screen that shows how much XP, SP, and badges you could acquire.
Some adjustments have been made to the balancing, especially the melee attacks of many weapons have been revised and adjusted. Grenades can now be thrown further, which is supposed to enable easier targeting with the explosives. Additionally, players now spawn at different locations and not all centrally at one point, so they cannot be easily “farmed”.
Lastly, it is pointed out that the latest version of the game already contains some new Steam achievements, but these cannot yet be collected individually. “We tried to hide the achievements, but it doesn’t work. Just pretend you didn’t see anything.”
A complete list of all changes and adjustments can be found in our sources.
