Patch v1.54
A new patch has been released for Primal Carnage: Evolution!
Please make sure that you are on the latest version by restarting your console, or by using the Check For Update option in the game properties.
WELCOME WEEKENDERS!
We've been bowled over by the sheer volume of people trying to access Evolution's online services, it's been a scramble to modify the netcode to support the level of demand coming in. We want to share our sincere apologies for any issues you may have encountered at launch, please bear with us as we resolve a few growing pains over the next several days!
This first patch primarily addresses sync issues - such as skins not being visible in the inventory, or currency and experience points showing the wrong values, along with a bunch of minor fixes and user experience improvements like a confirmation popup before buying store items and separate FOV sliders for human / dino.
If you're still encountering issues with any of these after updating to patch 1.54, please let us know in the Evolution bug reports section of our official Discord if you can.

MORE SOON!
Our number one priority is making Evolution as stable and performant as possible. We are 100 percent focused on that, and will be prioritizing bugfixes before adding any major new content.
For those not in the know, our small team at Circle 5 has just two active programmers that are now working across both Primal Carnage: Evolution and Primal Carnage: Extinction (PC). We're sorry for any issues you may have encountered, just know that our coding duo have been working night and day to address issues as they've been reported.
Highlights of upcoming fixes include:
Resolving an engine-level bug with audio spatialization that should make sound effects feel properly 3D
Major memory optimizations and loading system rework to improve performance and fix stuttering
Additional fixes for edge cases causing trophies to not unlock in some cases.
These changes will hopefully be deployed within the next week. Keep an eye out for future patches!
