Game Releases

Overview

Sunrise Social introduces a four-hour day/night cycle, emotes, global chat with emojis, night racing with working headlamps, and updated clouds. Vehicle balancing and CPU, memory, and GPU optimizations accompany the additions. Nighttime performance drops, moving-platform bugs, and low-frame-rate racing issues remain known limitations.

New Features

• Night/Day Cycle - Watch the sun go around and the moon come out! The world is running on a persistent day cycle. Check the time in the top right corner of the UI. Cornucopias is on a 4 hour day cycle for our first release test of this feature.
• Updated Cloud/Weather System- Better looking and better performing volumetric cloud system. With better density, more layers, and variations.
• Emotes- Hold "Directional Pad Down' on controller, or 'B' on keyboard and select how you want to express yourself!
• Global Chat with Emojis- Express how you feel and what you are up to in the global chat window that is accessible by hitting the "Enter" key. Don't forget to show those emotions with our custom Emojis! Don't forget you can press "U" to toggle usernames on.
• Night Racing- If you thought it was a wild ride before, better buckle up! Vehicles now have working headlamps, that facilitate racing in the dark.
• New NPC/Avatar Example- Are you on his side? Or is he bad news. Dusty, or more infamously known as "Rattlesnake" joins the party.
• Vehicle Performance - Some balancing was made to certain vehicles for better competition ability.
• Optimization- Game systems that hit the CPU and memory have been lightened for better performance. Better GPU performance and some graphical improvements.

Known Issues

• You might experience performance issues at certain times of the day, and in night racing due to extra light actors/longer shadows.
• Character Movement is still incorrect on fast moving platforms, and might bug out in other situations.
• Players spawn in only one racing lounge for this release.
• Visual noise related Real Time ray tracing/Lumen especially at darker times of day.
• Volumetric cloud artifacts at certain times of day.
• Low computer spec users can experience random racing explosions and difficulty driving especially when dipping below 30 fps
