: Communication between chasers sharing the same vehicle has been significantly improved when traveling at high speeds.
The developers explained that their proprietary cloud technology was causing some of these frame rate drops. They acknowledged failing to properly communicate what they were trying to achieve with this innovative but performance-heavy system. In response, the team entered “war room mode” and released v0.1.571 as a comprehensive fix. “We released PATCH 0.1.571 and servers stabilized dramatically and new players now have much better FPS getting in the game,” they reported.
However, the realities of simulating hyper-complex procedural volumetric cloud systems and massive, multi-vortex tornadoes severely strained the game's initial Early Access builds. Optimization bugs, catastrophic server hitches, and fluctuating frame rates plagued early users.
The list of bug fixes in v0.1.571 was extensive, addressing everything from performance issues to gameplay exploits. Here are the most notable: OUTBRK v0.1.571
Beyond new content, v0.1.571 addressed several game-breaking issues identified by the community during the early access launch:
The in-car tablet computer has been completely redesigned.
: Fixed an exploit allowing players to spam report the same element for extra points, and fixed an exploit allowing walking while deploying a probe with the camera or phone active. : Communication between chasers sharing the same vehicle
Today, players can track development progress via the official OUTBRK Trello Board or participate in and tournaments, such as those featured at the National Storm Chaser Summit. OUTBRK on Steam

: Missing undetected wall clouds were added to scenarios, ensuring that storm structures are accurately represented. In response, the team entered “war room mode”
Reduced instances of random disconnects during peak storm cycles.
Increased environmental detail in key areas, enhancing the visual fidelity of the storm environment.
: The first batch of locations where terrain clips through the road was fixed, reducing visual glitches.
Rain now interacts more accurately with environmental winds, behaving dynamically.
These improvements, along with enhanced vehicle engines and new social features, show a clear path forward from the solid foundation laid by v0.1.571.
