Steam Game Festival Demo Update - 5th Feb 2021

Fellow swashbucklers,

A new update has just gone live for the Buccaneers! Steam Game Festival Demo, including several bug fixes and improvements based on your feedback.

Among the highlights is improved support for Valve Index controllers, which should now have better hand placement by default. We also added manual rotation and position offsets to the Controls menu in the game's settings, so you can tweak the hand placement yourself if it still doesn't look right.

Here are the full patch notes:

Changes

• Disabled “hide UI” hotkey.
  
• Updated lightmaps for Clarence Town.
  
• Reduced delay before music starts playing in the Main Menu.
  
• Disabled player abilities which have no effect in the demo.
  
• [VR] Added hand rotation and position offset settings to the Controls menu.
  
• [VR] Changed default hand rotation for Valve Index controllers.
  

Big fixes

• Attempted fix for inactive controllers interfering with mouse and keyboard controls.
  
• Fixed Clarence Town navmesh near the jetty.
  
• Fixed bounty board in Cockburn Town.
  
• Fixed post-battle UI scaling incorrectly on some screen aspect ratios.
  
• [VR] Fixed game freezing in Cockburn Town.
  
• [VR] Fixed incorrect demo completion text.
  

Thanks again to everyone who has tried the demo and given us feedback so far. We're continuing to monitor bug reports and suggestions in the Steam discussions and on our Discord, so please keep them coming!

Happy pirating! 🏴‍☠️
