Gunfire Games has released the September 7th Update for Remnant 2 that brings to the game numerous QoL improvements, as well as a Potato Mode.

According to the developers, the new Potato Mode will allow for low-end systems to more aggressively disable expensive rendering features. As such, this will help them achieve higher frame rates and smoother gameplay.

Additionally, this new update adds a Detailed Geometry video option, which is enabled by default. This option allows for users to disable the setting to reduce environmental geometry detail. The developers claim that this will improve the maximum performance for those with high-end CPUs.

Furthermore, the developers have streamlined the backend connection when joining players’ games. This should address several issues including general failures to connect after “connecting” screen and joining games while using a character with a lot of gear and items.

As always, Steam will download the September 7th Update for Remnant 2 the next time you launch its client. Below you can also find its complete changelog.
