Second Extinction recently received a new update that fixed many issues in multiplayer and made some improvements to the game.
One of the best features in this update is “Lost Items.” This automatically stores progress on the servers in case the player disconnects or crashes due to some reason. Additionally, the developers fixed the FPS dropping dramatically when a lot of visual effects appeared on the screen, which was quite annoying when playing an online game.
