INDUS New Update Is Fixed Everything?

4K View2024-10-31

"Hey everyone!"

I just dropped a video an hour ago talking about the next update of Indus. But plot twist 30 minutes after I hit upload, bam! We get a fresh bug fix and improvement update. It’s like they waited for me to finish before they dropped the goods. Let's break down what’s new!

So, according to the Google Play update notes, here’s what they rolled out:

New Features:
Ranked Game Mode.
Visual Style Color Presets – Because who doesn’t love a fresh coat of paint?
New Home Screen – Out with the old, in with the new!
Some New Content:
Fixes and Improvements:
Improved Cosmium VFX.
Improved Aim Assist.
Increased Vehicle Count.
Increased Backpack Capacity (Med Kits and Med Packs) – Now you can carry everything, including the kitchen sink.
Increased Chappal Damage
Multiple Bug Fixes – Because bugs should stay in the code, not on the battlefield.

Seems like they really listened and fixed a ton of stuff. Alright, let’s jump in and see all the goodies we got this time!

"Alright, let’s review this update!"

First off, New Content! Everything you see on the screen in this update? Yup, it’s all paid. So happy New Year to all the paid players get ready to lighten those wallets!

Now, let’s hit the New Features:
Ranked Game Mode
Visual Style Color Presets – Fancy way of saying, “We've adjusted the brightness, maybe.”

New Home Screen – They made a few tweaks here and there. They moved the hero from the center to the left (because why not?), swapped out the background image, and added a dark tone to make it .

Visual Style Color Presets – So, how do they look in-game? Well, I barely noticed a difference. Some spots are a bit brighter, but it’s not exactly eye-popping. They said “new colors,” but I’m still searching for them.

As for the Ranked Mode, I’ll cover that in detail at the end of the video.

And last but not least, Graphics. I cranked the settings to max, hoping for a visual miracle, but nope—still looks like the same old game. So, yeah feels good, I guess?

Let’s keep going and see what else this update has in store!
"Alright, let’s check out the Fixes and Improvements!"

Fixes and Improvements:

Improved Cosmium VFX – Something I never asked for, but hey, shiny stuff is always cool. Good job, devs.

Improved Aim Assist – Aim assist is great. if you use it. But for old school players like me who go manual? Beware: without it, this game will happily send your aim off into the wilderness. Trust me, I tried to aim at enemies, and nope game said, "Empty space it is." RIP me.

Increased Vehicle Count – Now, this is actually useful. Less hiking, more driving.

Increased Backpack Capacity (Med Kits and Med Packs) – Yep, confirmed. More space for those lifesavers.

Increased Chappal Damage – My mom is cheering for this one! Finally, they’ve made the legendary chappal as powerful as it deserves to be.

Multiple Bug Fixes – Did they fix everything? Yes. and also no. Some bugs are like that one friend who just won’t leave.

"Now, let’s get to the most important part—Gameplay!"

So here’s the deal: the game is barely playable at this point. I tried three matches, on three different devices, with three different data plans, and guess what? Lagged out each time. Moving around felt like I was in quicksand. You can check out the gameplay at the top if you want a good laugh (or a good cry).

And no, it’s not the screen recorder’s fault. I even turned that off, but the experience actually got worse.

According to their announcements, they’re “maintaining the servers” well, let’s just say that right now, it's more like they're “maintaining the lag.”

Oh, and I noticed a tiny improvement in controls. I think? Maybe it’s the lag messing with my head, but it felt like there was a small fix there. Just don’t ask me to pinpoint what exactly.

Now If you don’t already have this game installed, do yourself a favor and save your data. Honestly, it's not worth it right now.

And to the devs, here’s a friendly suggestion: maybe remove the “Made in India” tag from the game until it’s actually ready. It’s painful to see the potential of Indian game development get buried by rushed releases. It’s not that India can’t make great games—just look at Scarfall 2.0. Those guys know how to take feedback, fix issues, and improve with every update.

So, dear devs, here’s my olive branch — give it one more shot, but please, make this one count. Don’t let us down!

Good night, and fingers crossed for better updates ahead!
