Orbx has issued a new update for Volanta. Version 1.11 adds a higher update rate (1 second) for Premium users, who will now be able to see their location on Volanta with higher accuracy. Other users are also updated at a higher frequency. These settings can be turned off in Volanta if desired. Volanta’s v1.11 update also comes with a performance improvement. The tool will now ‘cease most performance-intensive activities when minimized’, aiming to give user back a little bit of system performance.
The update will automatically be applied when using Volanta.
