- Player Reports: Stuttering / FPS Drops - 12 August 2026
Player Reports: Stuttering / FPS DropsHey Geese (and Ducks)! Over the past few days, some Windows PC players have been experiencing sudden stuttering and FPS drops, particularly while moving their mouse. We've been digging into this nonstop, and after a lot of testing, we want to share what we've found. What's going on?First, the important part: this wasn't caused by a game update. Prior to today's v4.10 update, we were already receiving reports of this issue. The previous PC build had not been updated since May 20, when we released v4.09 with some role adjustments. We actually held back the release of v4.10 while we investigated these reports because we wanted to better understand what was happening before introducing a new update into the mix. Nothing was patched, added, or altered on our side when these reports first started appearing, and today's v4.10 update is not the cause of the…

- Updated Cosmetic Tiers - 13 April 2026
Hello everyone,You may notice some changes when browsing your collections. We’ve rolled out a tiering update that removes the “Event” and “Limited Time” categories, reassigning those cosmetics into our standard tiers: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Ultra Rare, Epic, and Legendary. Why were these tiers removed?Event Tier Originally, Event cosmetics were tied to seasonal events. These events concluded on May 31, 2024, when they were replaced by Flight Passes, which now use the standard tier system.Limited Time TierThese cosmetics originally came from older limited-time webstore packs and collaborations. Moving forward, all limited-time cosmetics and collaborations will use the standard tier system. Why the change?These tiers served their purpose in the past, but no longer fit how cosmetics are distributed today. Rather than repurposing them, we’ve aligned everything under a consistent tier struc…
