Sunkenland Update v0.8.90 Targets Combat Stutter and Tool-Related Frame Drops
The changelog also covers disappearing terrain trees, camera stutter, and coastal defense weapons damaging enemies.
Sunkenland Update v0.8.90 focuses on reducing stutter across combat, camera movement, and several commonly used tools. Chainsaw and Booster logic received optimization work, while bullet-hole generation was adjusted to reduce frame rate fluctuations during fights.
Vector3 Studio detailed the changes in a Steam announcement. Camera movement also received attention, with the update targeting a smoother experience when moving and rotating the view.
Several severe frame-drop problems are addressed in the bug fixes. Equipping the Ore Detector, Repair Hammer, Drill, or Welding Tool should no longer cause the same major performance hit. The update also fixes terrain trees disappearing and an issue that allowed coastal defense weapons to damage enemies.
Camera behavior appears in both sides of the changelog. Optimization work targets smoother movement and rotation, while a separate fix addresses camera stuttering that could occur when rotating the view while moving. The changes follow the recent v0.8.88 hotfix, which also included combat performance work.
