v68.23 – Minor version for Steam Clients – 07/11/2025
- Potentially fixed a bug with VRAM allocation where players would experience sudden FPS drops that would never or take a long time to recover. This patch also reverts the previous fix in v67 on the 20th of June, where we had instilled a temporary workaround that would dynamically manage VRAM to mitigate instances of memory buildup.
