Regardless of how you feel about MindsEye’s gameplay, it’s hard to argue for it when it comes to game performance. Aside from a day-one patch, the game remains plagued by performance issues that need to be addressed as soon as possible.

Thankfully, developer Build a Rocket Boy is aware of these technical issues and has just issued the first MindsEye hotfix today.

Benzies and his studio have decided to price the game at $60 due to today’s high cost of living (and eggs).

This incorporates various technical improvements for both GPU and CPU optimization, as well as other issues.

MindsEye First Hotfix Prioritizes Game Performance

According to the developers, their “top priority is game performance,” and “Improving performance across all devices is our immediate focus.” This patch is scheduled to go out this week on PC, with consoles getting it as soon as possible (certifications need to be passed before they are released).

The confirmed fixes include:

Initial CPU and GPU performance improvements, along with memory optimizations.
Reduced difficulty for the CPR mini-game.
A new setting to disable or modify Depth of Field.
A fix for an issue with missing controls for the MineHunter and Run Dungeon mini-games.
Pop-up warnings for PCs that have Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling disabled, and PCs with CPUs that have potential crash issues.

Build a Rocket Boy states that this patch is “the first in a series of updates aimed at enhancing” player experience.

Interview: Mindseye’s Huge Plans For Post-Launch & Thoughts On Pre-Launch Negativity

Adam Whiting sat down with Dualshockers to discuss Mindseye ahead of its imminent release.

Steam players will also see that Build.MindsEye is now accessible. The developers are also working on any missing DLC entitlements, and these will be added to player accounts as soon as possible.

Based on the recent launch issues being shared on social media, the developers have a long road ahead of them. Let’s hope the devs manage to turn things around for the game. In this day and age, it’s something we’ve seen countless times happen where a game failed to launch with any momentum, but with enough TLC, managed to turn things around.
