Editing Release 104 (section)

====Unity 2021 Upgrade Status====

We’ve been working hard to get Unity to the current 2021 LTS version and it’s finally completed and coming! After this release is out, we are going to put the new version on QA for players to test for the next month. Why are we waiting another release? Because we want to get things right. A lot of things have changed in Unity since 2018 and here are a few things to expect:

*Better overall performance
*The newest hardware and software will be better-supported
*Terrain shaders have been updated and are faster. Some terrain settings have been refined to increase performance. These two changes in performance should affect RTX card users that previously had problems while looking at certain parts of the terrain after playing a while.
*Shader changes to use D3D11 more efficiently
*Loading time between scenes should have decreased by a few seconds
*We now have access to better tools to expand the game with greater visual effects, like shader graph and the new terrains tool
*The Unity 2021 editor is way more performant than the 2018 one, which is very good for us devs!

On a sad note, this new update to Unity took so much of our time this release that other planned projects were completely on hold for the month, but don’t despair: the best is yet to come!

With this said, we are hoping to see you in QA to test this with us!
