Pathogenic Patch 1.3 delivers performance optimizations and multiplayer beta server tools

Pathogenic launches Patch 1.3 with major performance gains during busy fights, expanded multiplayer lobby settings, mod management checkboxes, and organelle balance adjustments.

What changed

• Optimized rendering and soft-body physics calculations during intense battles.
• Added lobby options for player collision, friendly fire, and health scaling up to 400%.
• Introduced independent on and off toggles for individual installed mods in the menu.
• Rebalanced multiple combat organelles including Exocytotic Chamber and Pyrosome.

Combat Performance and Visual Enhancements

• Optimizations reduce processing strain caused by projectiles, explosions, beams, and toxin clouds.
• Liver stage textures use substantially less video memory to prevent freezes on portable hardware.
• Minion processes for Swarm and Bacteriophage units operate with reduced graphical overhead.

Multiplayer Beta Infrastructure

• Hosts gain custom toggles for friendly fire, ally transparency, and player collision.
• Enemy health scaling per extra player offers configurable values between 100% and 400%.
• The server browser reorganizes co-op lobbies into tabs while saving player mutation rolls individually.

Organelle Balance and Mod Safety

• The mods menu now provides checkboxes for each modification and disables broken entries automatically.
• Organelles like Pyrocyst and Exocytotic Chamber received damage and reach adjustments.
• Apoptosome was reworked so all defeated enemies explode upon death regardless of attack connection.
