Summary (AI)
Patch 1.016 for AETHUS introduces a DX12 launch option on Steam, improving framerates and stability for compatible hardware. A new setting allows players to disable item drops on death, with item dropping disabled in Seam X-5 due to spawn location issues. Several fixes address construction linking, task scanning reliability, and edge cases involving item loss and fall-death triggers. The update also clarifies settings saving per slot and adjusts visuals in the Credits screen.
Tip: expand all for quick scanning.
