Enshrouded 1.0 is LIVE! Check out our Highlights video!

2 of 2 setups were made before this update. Graphics options and performance may have changed since, so treat them as a starting point.

What changed for graphics

A new rendering technology, the “brick renderer,” is now used to truly bring the vast open world to life.
One example is the improved point light shadows - while predominantly a performance increase, this change allows the engine to render more point lights than previously, which will be especially noticeable in large player bases.
Also improved the textures of materials and environment objects in the Shroud.
Fixed several issues with roads, such as weird bumps or slopes or unpolished textures.
Reworked the course of the sun so that during sunset the areas behind the Albaneve Summits are not in shadow as long as before.
Improved the texture of several trees.
