Changed
- Upscalers switched off for now: NVIDIA DLSS (and DLAA), NVIDIA NIS, AMD FSR 1, FSR 3.1 and FSR 4 and Intel XeSS, with all their modes, are switched off while we fix a performance problem in the game. The game draws at the Render quality you choose and scales it to your screen with plain smooth scaling.
- FXAA is the only antialiasing for now: SMAA is switched off too. If you had SMAA, you get FXAA.
- Your old upscaler choice goes back to Off at the first start. They all come back in a later update.
Antivirus false positives
Some antivirus programs that are not up to date may flag king_kong.exe as malware. This is a false positive: older machine learning detections can mistake parts of the game, such as its own renderer and its program icon, for something harmful. The fix is to update your antivirus to its latest version.
Kaspersky is the one most often reported. If you cannot update it, Kaspersky's free online check (OpenTIP) shows the file is safe.
