    Hey Folks,

    @Asu has done great work and we're very close to releasing the 60FPS build - but during testing we've had a few hard-to-reproduce issues! To avoid potentially marring this very important update, we've decided to release a separate, public-access test build.

    Simply download the test build (to somewhere like your desktop - DO NOT replace your existing KAG install with it) and run it using either of the provided batch files based on your auth method (kag2d.com or steam account). If it works, great! Please let us know. If not, please post in here with whatever issues you are encountering.

    This build is only available for windows at this time. If this method of testing proves popular, we will investigate quick-turnaround options for OSX and Linux.

    This build will NOT autoupdate and is strictly for testing this new feature. If you are interested in helping ensure that the next release goes well, please download and let us know how you go!

    [download link removed, use the release version to test]

    Have fun!
    Max

    (also - please let me know if this format suits you, as well as if I've screwed anything up with the .zip; I've downloaded and tested it already and it seems to work out of the box and show the right servers, but would love a sanity check)

    (also, if you could post those "weird looking graphs" from top left that'd be great)

    You got it *dude.* The menu is fine, I will play single player to test for a bit.

    Seems to work just fine... no notable oddities as of yet in testing.

    Works all right, although i don't know if it's me but it feels kinda sloppy even though it was running up to 100+ fps
    (I don't know if they'll be useful, but i'll post the logs)

    Works great, building feels tighter. The block selection and placement feels improved somehow.

    Downloaded it, saved the princess went to sandbox, spammed 100 buckets, the graphic looks nice and smooth
    No lag, FPS always maintains at 60

    I can now feel finally ascended

    one thing that feels a bit off is the range of the sword slash. When I slash it feels like its reaching far too much in front of my attack range (although its probably because I was fighting with zero latency on the campaign)

    That shouldn't have changed really but there's a few things that could explain it. There's a single frame latency induced by interpolating (it doesn't do it when it is not interpolating) so you could feel like it's slightly further when moving quickly. The other option is imo that you didn't notice this before because of 30fps.

    Can you screenshot the graph on the top left corner? Does it improve if you enable vsync?

    You can play it on fullscreen mode you just have to fix it in the startup_config.cfg to your prefered monitor resolution settings and set the fullscreen to 1. I just tried sandbox and 1 player mode and it seemed to run very good. I'm running it on Windows 10 btw.

    Person who voted "no, it doesn't work for me" it'd be super helpful if you'd chime in with what happens/how it doesn't work. We can't help you without that info!

    Re: physics - nothing has changed there at all, the update logic and physics still run at 30fps, but your perceptions may be changed (and 0ping local does feel a bit different to online, shows how absurdly forgiving the slash range is).

    Try to remove the directory and extract it again. Did you start KAG from the batch files?

    Your computer is just not fast enough, what this update means is that there is support for 60fps (and beyond) now.
