Hello climbers,

We're so excited to see so many of you enjoy Cairn.

Our team has been monitoring the forums, social media and our inboxes to gather your feedback and bug reports, and we have pulled together a patch.

We have found a temporary solution for the FPS issues on AMD RX 9000 series cards, Steam Deck, and ROG Ally X. Here is how to improve your framerate if you're in this situation.

In Steam / Cairn / Game Settings / General / Launch Options (See screen below) :

• On Windows add this launch option [c]-force-d3d12[/c]

• On Linux add this launch option [c]-force-vulkan[/c]

• On Steam Deck add this launch option [c]-force-vulkan[/c]

We will keep working on performance improvements, but until then, this quick setting change should greatly improve your experience!

We have also put together a patch that solves some minor bugs:

• Limb selection panel tutorial screen stays on screen if a fall during the tutorial

• Phone call message remains on screen, only experienced by Turkish players

This is where to find the Launch Options in Cairn's settings on Steam:

We will keep working on performance, but until then, this quick setting change should greatly improve your experience!
With a lot of love,
The Bakers

We're still on our journey to the summit of our own Mount Kami, but we're already so grateful for all the encouragements we're getting along the way!
