EVA VR Patch 1.6.4: Unified Rendering, Dark Circus Skins, and Survival Leaderboards

EVA VR has shipped Patch 1.6.4, a venue-wide update that modernizes rendering, makes Survival score-chasing more competitive, and kicks off the spooky-season Dark Circus cosmetic drop. Here is the full breakdown for After-H Battle Arena operators, shoutcasters, and competitive teams.

TL;DR — Why Patch 1.6.4 Matters

New rendering engine now powers every map, with better lighting, reflections, and unified gameplay features.
Mist, Spectre, and Sonar Recon Beacon are unlocked across the full map roster, eliminating meta discrepancies between venues.
Survival mode gets floor-by-floor kill comparisons plus a global leaderboard visible in the Moon of the Dead lobby and on eva.gg.
Dark Circus skins arrive from October 15 to November 10, delivering a haunted lobby experience.
Substantial bug fixes across Survival and After-H smooth out late joins, UI glitches, and competitive integrity issues.

New Rendering Engine on Every Map

After months of incremental tests, the new rendering pipeline now fuels all standard After-H maps:

Visual upgrades: lighting, reflections, and VFX receive immediate gains, with additional art passes planned.
Unified content: the Mist character, Spectre weapon, Sonar Recon Beacon, and every unlocked skin are available on every battlefield.

Competitive takeaway: plan for slightly brighter sightlines and more readable silhouettes when reviewing VODs or map tactics.

Survival Mode Leaderboards Go Global

Survival squads finally have objective bragging rights:

At the end of each floor, teams compare kill counts locally, ideal for in-venue challenges.
A global leaderboard inside the Moon of the Dead lobby and on eva.gg showcases worldwide rankings.
Encourage community nights by rotating captains and tracking their floor efficiencies live.

Pair these metrics with our Strategy Hub Complete Guide to build repeatable training plans.

Admin Quality-of-Life Updates

Venue game masters receive a streamlined experience:

Improved mode selector simplifies switching between After-H and Moon of the Dead playlists.
Faster navigation helps staff react during back-to-back sessions without delaying lobbies.

We recommend updating your internal SOPs so new attendants know the refreshed menu flow.
