Deliver Us Mars, the sequel to the hit title Deliver Us the Moon, was released early this month. While many are enjoying the much-anticipated sequel, some players have encountered performance issues. So, the developer released the first patch that solves the said issues. A ton of QoL improvements are made as well.
The loading time when going through caves and airlocks has been improved, and the performance hit of using the Hair Groom setting in cutscenes is reduced. Using DLSS Frame Generation will now turn off VSync, and a checkpoint triggering while climbing won’t cause performance stutter anymore.
You can read about the rest of the changes below.
