Please Note: This is Alpha content, currently not available in the demo. If you wish to test it, please apply for beta on our website www.piratesofpangea.com - we have very limited keys, so please be patient. We will notify you by email if you are selected for Alpha or Closed Beta testing.

Ocean Caustics Update: Graphic, fps and memory optimization



Enjoy a swim in the glistening moonlit waters, or splash around in the warm blue, rippling soft, ocean waters of the Tropical Bermuda triangle. New caustics and lightening should make your tropical waters a bit more inviting.



We have done some fps optimization so you can enjoy 60+ fps on ultra mode. Ultra mode brings out more definition, and vibrant colors of the terrain under the backdrop of the beautiful blue tropical waters. If you are unable to run ultra mode, or experience some stuttering, you can try the high texture quality mode as well.



Optimized the lighting for the day night cycle to perform better during foggy mornings or hurricane.

Golden Hour Update: Graphic facelifts, QoL & bug fixes



In line with our plan, we have made graphic improvements, added facelifts and zings to your tropical experience! Take a moment away from your treasure hunting and sit by your campfire and enjoy the breathtaking sunsets and sunrises.

Some flowers and bushes may have grown at the island that may cause some of you to relocate! We apologize for any inconvenience.

BEFORE


AFTER


Due to the graphic changes, if some of you experience some stuttering or stickyness, please go into settings menu in the game and change your graphics texture quality settings to "high" or lower.

In most cases, the texture quality setting of "High" will work very well.

Please be advised that we are still testing several things and any changes aren't final just yet.

Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed an issue that was causing an item description window to not close.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing the shipwrecks to not target properly when trying to salvage them. You may now click the shipwrecks easily even when standing on your warboat or raft.


Optimization changes:
  • Optimized some models to speed up rendering.
  • Optimized reflections


Other:
  • An item dropped in the ocean might show loot beams from afar.

Demo Update: Interior Camera, weapon socket enhancers



  • Fixed an issue that was causing obstructed camera view inside small buildings.
  • Nearby shadows are now enhanced to be sharper and have more definition.
  • Weapon socket enhancer window usability has been optimized.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing the Drop item window to appear when adding sockets.
  • Building items (such as candles, art etc.) obtained from looting shipwrecks now require build hammer and build menu active to place them.



Demo Update: Building System Updates and hotfixes.

Hotfixes:
  • Fixed an issue that was causing the building item to stay in a destructible state.


  • Build, Destruct and Paint modes now have visual indicators in the fps cam mode.

  • Attacking a locked target now gives slightly increased accuracy to your "fire cannon" skill.
  • Increased the duration of the Mermaid Speed Buff
    (Note that you can swing by a Mermaid to get increased speed and maneuverability on your boats)

  • Fixed an issue that was causing you to not be able to mount your vehicle when inside the hitbox of the shipwreck.
