Here is what changed in the Zone: Major asset optimizations: LODs, draw distance, navigation, etc. DX is back to 11, as we found out many players use hardware that does not support DX12. You can still use DX12 if you would like to by running the game with the -dx12 parameter. Melee weapon collisions fixed. Incoming damage flinch significantly reduced, now you can shoot more accurately under fire. Sprinting on Steam Deck fixed + general sprinting interruptions fixed. Microfreezes when opening the menu fixed. Camera clipping in 3rd-person view fixed. Show/hide HUD hotkey changed to "Alt+1" to work on any keyboard layout. Wild dwarf behavior improved. Domesticated dwarf AI bugs fixed. Large bunkers optimization improved. Anomaly animations improved. Enemy AI optimizations improved. ...
