# Insider Patch Notes 2.10.0.8

Insider Update 2.10.0.8 is now live. As we approach our February update, this stabilisation build does not introduce any specific new features to test, however it is representative of the feature set we intend to deliver in February and therefore we need your support as we prepare our final release build.

As always, if you encounter any bugs, please head to the 
[Sea of Thieves support site](https://support.seaofthieves.com/hc/en-gb) and let our Player Support team know.

## GDK Integration

While Insiders have been providing valuable test support on the GDK build of Sea of Thieves in isolation, with this Insiders update, GDK is now fully integrated into all our builds moving forward.

**GDK Integration**

* Sea of Thieves now operates on the latest Xbox GDK (Game Development Kit). Players on PC are encouraged to update to the latest graphics drivers to ensure the best compatibility and performance.
* Sea of Thieves now supports DirectX 11 and DirectX 12, where supported by the hardware. While the title will now auto-detect and optimize the experience, players can select explicitly within the game settings if they choose.
* General client performance improvements should be seen across the experience, with PC players seeing the largest improvements.
* While players on console and the Microsoft Store have experienced a large initial download, regular game updates moving forwards will now be considerably smaller.
* The Microsoft Store experience on PC is now improved, with the client now signalling the need for an update and the ability for players to set the install location when using the Xbox App.

## Known Issues

**Graphics Driver Compatibility**

* Players on older GeForce Graphics drivers may experience an extended load time when launching this GDK version of Sea of Thieves. Players are encouraged to update to the latest graphics drivers to ensure the best compatibility and performance.
