Gray Zone Warfare has rolled back the latest fix in response to players who said it was degrading performance. The hotfix 5.2, which was originally deployed yesterday, was intended to address a handful of quest bugs and improve rubberbanding. Soon after the release, players began to share clips of heavy deceleration and crashes that they did not get before.

Madfinger Games quickly pulled back the patch and restored the valuable frame rate, but according to CEO Marek Rabas, if you listen to players, this problem can be solved quickly.

"When we reported performance issues, we didn't trust the community, so it was mostly ruined." "It's a great opportunity for us to get to know each other," Rabas wrote on Twitter. After checking every commit, I made sure that any fix would not affect the client's performance. It turned out to be the wrong merge, and unwanted changes were propagated to the hotfix branch. There are multiple branches not only in the game, but also in Unreal Engine, etc."

It's unclear if Rabas said he reported a test build issue before the hotfix was released to everyone, or if he should have reacted quickly to the hotfix released yesterday, but in any case, Madfinger will take reports of poor performance more seriously from now on . Open world extraction shooter is not particularly performance in ideal situations — as it requires. Even with decent hardware, its choppy frame rate was one of our main frustrations with the Early access release last month.

"So the lesson learned the hard way," Lavas continued. "We will continue to trust the community and improve our pipeline to limit these issues. Forgive us; we will do better next time."

These bugs were certainly re-released before the release of the big "Patch 2" of the gray zone, which Madfinger said was "just around the corner" in a recent blog post celebrating 900,000 copies sold

"This success guarantees a long-term commitment to the Gray zone war, and the game will continue to grow." We guarantee that it will continue to improve and evolve over time. As we move forward together, we are excited to bring you new content, enhancements, and experiences," the post reads.
