Performance Notes
- WARDOGS runs on Unreal Engine 5 with BULKHEAD’s custom “War Dynamics Framework” for 100-player matches.
- DLSS Frame Generation is supported and can be turned off without restarting.
- Windows 11 update KB5124010 caused WD-L020 crashes; Update 0.1.2 (September 30) fixed them.
- Controllers are supported, with an aim-assist strength slider (0 turns it off) under Settings > Controller > Advanced.
- There is no Mac or Linux version. Proton/Steam Deck support was reported as something that “may come later”.
