CRYENGINE 5.6 was a huge release for the team, and inevitably, with a build of this magnitude, gremlins and bugs appear once the engine is in your hands. This update addresses more issues that have emerged from your feedback, and we’d appreciate it if you would continue to raise any issues you have on the dedicated forum feedback thread so that we can address them in due course. If you find a bug in the engine, please report it directly on GitHub, which helps us to process the issue quickly and efficiently.

As ever, stay tuned for updates on the forum, or via Facebook and Twitter and don’t forget to join the community and our CRYENGINE development team over on our official CRYENGINE Discord channel.
