A new update for Night of the Dead was deployed after three months. Update 08 brings system changes, optimizations, and bug fixes.
Let’s start with one of the best parts of the update: the new graphics options. Developers added DirectX 11, DirectX 12, Anti-Aliasing Techniques TAA, and FSR options to the game. Both DirectX 11 and 12 options can offer performance improvements on many machines. However, the DX12 support is noted as “experimental,” so you need to test both options to see which works well with your machine.
Players with high-end systems should have no issues maxing out all the graphics options. If anti-aliasing is your thing, expect more AA techniques to come in future updates. But those running on mid-range systems or lower should experiment with the best combinations. They may consider lowering AA to get more FPS.
Meanwhile, there’s a new Rest interaction that allows players to regain health over time. They can use sleeping bags, beds, and chairs to get some rest after battling the undead.
