- Patch Title: Darwinia 2.3.3-45 hotfix
- Patch Release Date: April 12, 2024
The developer of Darwinia has released a new update for the game on April 12, 2024. Here are the new things that you should expect to see or change on this new update. This information was curated directly from the official announcement on Steam.
This update contains a major bugfix for the 2.3.3 release.
Major changes:
- Fixed broken music playback.
Known issues:
- macOS: On MacBook Pro 14″/16″ with 120Hz displays (or in fact any Mac with > 60Hz displays) there is stuttering in full screen mode. This is caused by the “Direct-to-Display” feature in Metal, which cannot be opted out of. We have implemented a partial workaround to this problem, but there is still occasional render stuttering. Players can work around this by running the game in Windowed mode, or by running an application that keeps a hidden always-on-top window running (such as Notchmeister). We have an open bug with Apple about this problem and will continue to look for a better solution.
- Windows: Some applications (e.g. ReShade, Bandicam, Overwolf, RivaTuner Statistics Server, etc) may inject Vulkan layers into the game process, even if those applications are simply installed but not running. Some of these layers are known to cause occasional crashes when using the Vulkan renderer. To work around this, either uninstall those applications or use a different renderer in the Screen preferences (OpenGL or Direct3D 11).
- Older graphics drivers may be less reliable and cause crashes. Please update your drivers from your card/chipset vendor’s website.
