IMPORTANT: WORLD UPDATE

RETURNING PLAYERS ONLY Due to the vast number of changes Last Bastion Studios has made to the game, we are strongly recommending returning players who created world saves before December 2021 should create a new world now. Because of all the changes that have taken place during Savages time in Early Access, we cannot guarantee the integrity of your world saves and gameplay performance (FPS) prior to our latest update. Existing characters are fine to use, though some armor sets/weapons/items from earlier versions of the game have been deprecated/replaced.

What could happen if you use an old World Save? You may find areas in the world where your character can fall through, items that disappear into geometry, items disappear when moving to a new bag or dropped on the ground, creature spawners that appear empty, pre-placed items are missing, loot drop tables that are off, lore in the wrong locations, world assets sticking through geometry, and performance (FPS) issues.

We do greatly apologize for any inconvenience. Feel free to ping me or a moderator if you need help getting set back up in a new world. We are happy to help.

If you are a NEW player, the above info does not apply.

IMPORTANT: VIDEO SETTINGS UPDATE

RETURNING PLAYERS ONLY Due to the ongoing updates to backend features/visuals of the game for performance, we are recommending all returning players (December 2021 or later) take the following steps to refresh their video settings:

• From the Main Menu or ingame go into Options
  
• Click Settings
  
• Click Default
  
• Click Apply
  
• Adjust settings to your liking and Click Apply again

Known Issues

• On some laptops/desktops with dual graphics chips, it is possible that the game will default to the integrated version (usually Intel) which may cause low FPS. It may require you to manually set the SavageLands.exe into “High Performance” mode to support your dedicated GPU.
