Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor gets mid-game saves and CPU optimizations

Features

• Mid-game saving is here!
  The game will now autosave when you enter the shop. If you need to end the game before finishing a run, it will resume at the beginning of your last shop visit.

Improvements & Fixes

• Optimized bullet trail rendering. This reduces the CPU load in bullet-heavy scenarios
• We introduced additional levels to some of the upgrades in the upgrade menu.
• We rearranged some of the upgrades in the upgrade menu
• Smart equip just became a whole lot smarter (rarity now counts for 15 gear levels and upgrades count for 5)
• Fixed an issue where the upgrade UI got stuck on screen if multiple overlays appeared almost simultaneously
• Fixed an issue where the "complete a stage while activating B0b-33 no more than 2 times" mission goal was not completing.
• Fixed an issue where the alien threat level milestone was not triggering correctly.
• Fixed an issue where the ‘elite on spawned’ quirk was not working properly.
• Fixed an issue with beam count gear not interacting with beam count upgrades
• QoL: Added rich deposits communication to biome selection
• QoL: Added stat deltas when comparing gear on the gear screen
• QoL: Added new character portraits that match class mod and DLC skins on the end screen and in class mod masteries
• QoL: Added a tooltip to smart equip
