About Micro Stutters

We've had some reports of people playing on 4k resolution monitors with high refresh rates (120hz and above) encountering performance issues. This is something we are looking into and testing across various monitors and configurations to identify the cause. Whilst we look into this, we ask that anyone experiencing these issues please drop a comment in our bug section of steam forums with your GPU, CPU, and type of drive you have Beneath installed on so we can get as many variations confirmed of people encountering this (especially important if you are NOT running 4k or above 60fps) Thank you for your patience whilst we investigate this, we'll be updating you all as soon as we have some conclusive updates!

 

Thank You & Stay In Touch

Your feedback is invaluable. Every bug report, screenshot, clip, review and stream helps us make Beneath better. If you encounter something not listed above, please drop it in our Steam Discussions or share a ticket with specs, reproduction steps, etc. We’re committed to supporting this game long‑term, improving the experience, and making the depths you explore feel immersive, stable and scary.

Thanks for playing, thanks for diving deep, and thanks for helping us fix the rough edges.

The upcoming update introduces an endless roguelike mode, where you’ll face continuous waves of enemies using randomly generated weapons and unique buffs and debuffs that completely change your playstyle.

Every run is a new challenge — unpredictable, intense, and endlessly replayable.

• Random weapon drops and gear

• Dynamic buffs and debuffs

• Gradually increasing difficulty

Alongside this update, we’re also developing an entirely new game — a slasher set in medieval Japan, featuring new gameplay mechanics, distinct characters, and a rich, dark atmosphere.

More details, screenshots, and previews are coming soon — including the release date for the endless mode and the first look at our new title.

Ahoy, mateys!

Our next update is now on the Beta Branch. Since Salt 2 entered Early Access a little over three years ago, you all have supported us in the addition of a ton of new content, mechanics, and fixes including cooperative multiplayer, a main quest line, many new points of interest, island types, quests, items, ships, underwater content, skill trees, and so much more. We couldn't have done it without the brave players who took a chance sailing the seas in another Early Access title. We appreciate you all.

While we will continue to release updates for the game as always, this update will mark our 1.0 release out of Early Access for Salt 2, once we transition it from the beta to the default Steam branch. We plan to do so on November 12th.

This update, launching alongside the 1.0 release, includes a brand-new endgame loop with a set of new legendary items, ship upgrades, world bosses, and new points of interest. Once you reach level 40 or higher, you'll find a new NPC in the world that will get you started hunting down rare items and bosses in exchange for legendary loot. We've also added a new endgame merchant with a set of expensive but unique ship decoration items.

So what's next after official release? We will continue expanding on the content in the game as usual. This will include adding more things to discover, new quests, new enemy types, new points of interests, more island types, new items, and other improvements. And we're always monitoring community feedback to see what type of content you want in the game. You can send bug reports and feedback through the in-game bug report window, or on our Steam forums.

Here is a list of the changes for this update:
