Our Cairn Quality Of Life update includes a bunch of adjustments, new features and bug fixes that will make your experience with Cairn even smoother. In particular we are bringing tweaks to accessibility, new performance options on PS5, features you asked for like the automatic finger tapping, a new feature to visualise Aava’s efforts, improvements to Aava’s getting down from walls, Climbot’s behaviour and much more. Read below for more details.
Here are the major changes:

Hello climbers,
We're so excited to see so many of you enjoy Cairn.
Our team has been monitoring the forums, social media and our inboxes to gather your feedback and bug reports, and we have pulled together a patch.
We have found a temporary solution for the FPS issues on AMD RX 9000 series cards, and ROG Ally X. Here is how to improve your framerate if you're in this situation.
In GoG / Cairn / Game Settings / Manage installation / Configure / Features / Custom executables / Duplicate
- On Windows add this launch option -force-d3d12
- On Linux add this launch option -force-vulkan
We will keep working on performance improvements, but until then, this quick setting change should greatly improve your experience!
We have also put together a patch that solves some minor bugs:
- Limb selection panel tutorial screen stays on screen if a fall during the tutorial
- Phone call message remains on screen, only experienced by Turkish players
