What the pre-launch updates provide you
On February 17, 2024, there were the pre-launch updates in the game.
HUD Improvements
On one hand, HUD improvements have been made, meaning changes to the displays in the game. The hotbar has been adjusted and now runs from 1-0.
Additionally, the status bar has been changed and equipped with icons. Furthermore, the HUD will be hidden if no actions or survival pressure is triggered over a certain period of time.
UI Adjustments
Moreover, there have been changes to the UI (user interfaces). Equipped items, for example, are no longer displayed in the inventory, and you can easily drag and drop objects from the inventory to the hotbar (and vice versa).
Additionally, the stamina bar is now invisible when not activated. Crafting instructions are now text instead of cards, and while you are in the menu, you can also see the other menu options in the top bar.
…And more
Furthermore, the following adjustments have been made:
- Controller support (however, you will still need a keyboard and mouse)
- FSR3 removal (XeSS and DLSS are still available)
- Playable on the Steam Deck (but not officially supported yet)
When does Nightingale launch? Originally, the survival game was supposed to start in Early Access on February 22, 2024. However, the release was moved up by 2 days at the beginning of February. Thus, the game will now launch on February 20.
