You still have a little more time to try out Fractured Online for free, as the new engine upgrade is live, and a promised big quality of life update is coming tomorrow.
The Unity update is live, and with that upgrade came some bugs that delayed the rest of the update while the Dynamight Studios team fixed those.The new engine is here, and the team has been hopeful the change will address causes of those instability and crash issues that Fractured Online had sometimes seen since launch.
The meat of the update is a series of quality of life changes and fulfilled community requests, and that update is currently scheduled to go live tomorrow morning, September 3rd, at 10:00 a.m. UTC.
Several new settings options become available, including the ability to change controls to a MOBA /RTS style, to disable quick casting, change mouse cursor graphics, and see monster names on mouseover.
There are a couple of changes to mounting, making it faster to mount when you are a peaceful player and are out of combat. If you are aggressive and there are other aggressive players nearby, when you Dismount all your abilities go on cooldown. Other changes in the update include expanding the cases where you can use the I'm stuck button, a series of helpful tool tips, and smarter targeting.
The team is vowing that this is the final extension of the free “week”, which will now run through September 9th at 8:00 a.m. UTC. Free access is intended to let everyone download the game and take a look around with these brand new setting options, bug fixes, and quality of life updates.
