The Elamigos 1.08.0 → 1.09.0 update is a recommended installation for players seeking improved performance (via shader pre-compilation), optional ray tracing, and the latest balance changes. However, users should back up save files, disable mods before updating, and expect lower performance if enabling RT on mid-range cards. The Elamigos patch installer is stable, but the 1.09.1 hotfix must be applied separately for RT stability.
Final Verdict: ✅ Safe to install for vanilla game users. ⚠️ Mod users should wait.
