Intravenous News

Hey folks!

This beta version takes care of a couple of things and is for sure the last beta before release.

Version 1.2.0 BETA 9:
- increase armor protection to 40% and 20% on easy and normal, respectively
- updated MP7 to better support the tactical reloads system
- fixed some events causing the player to update their movement speed while moving, resulting in cases where the player would suddenly stop firing while running at top speed
- fixed not being able to properly run and shoot at the same time when using a controller
- (MAP EDITOR) fixed a crash caused by having a scene with 0 parts

Hey folks!

This beta version adds a couple of things and fixes a few minor issues. Aside from that, this might be the last BETA version before the release of the update, so if you wanted to play & give feedback on the update - now would be the best time!

Version 1.2.0 BETA 8:
- added a "optimal play using mouse & keyboard" disclaimer on game launch
- added a personal disclaimer on game launch
- when armor vests break, a distinct sound will now be played to communicate to the player that something has just happened
- using a bandage now plays a sound effect
- limiting the amount of times a "hit" sound can be played on the player to 3 sounds max., to prevent them overpowering the newly-added "armor break" sound
- weapon spread increase from firing decreased by 20% on most weapons for the player
- fixed certain player states not reacting to camera stick movement (lockpicking, picking up a body, etc.)
- fixed opening the level list resetting the difficulty back to "normal" once closing it, even if it was set to any other difficulty

Hey folks!

This update adds a couple of more things related to controller support. Now you can remap actions to different buttons. Some actions are not remappable, so you'll have to use the scheme system if you wish to swap the sticks in charge of movement/camera.

Version 1.2.0 BETA 6:
- added ability to switch between camera modes by pressing on the camera stick (left stick on scheme 1)
- added ability to remap controller action buttons
- russian localization tweaks
- portuguese-brazil, spanish localization update
- adjusted the "very unfair" weapon randomization scheme
- fixed the game switching to keyboard mode only when the player would press on a keyboard key that is bound to some kind of action (should have happened when clicking any keyboard key)

Hey everyone!

The Controller Support update will soon be finished, and aside from controller support it also adds custom difficulties, tactical reloads, and optimizes the lighting rendering pipeline.

With that said, I'd like to ask you folks of a favor: if you have a controller, or wish to test out and give feedback on the aforementioned features - please opt into the "controllersupport" beta branch and give it a try.

If you wish to opt into the BETA branch, simply follow these steps:
1. right-click on "Intravenous" in your game list
2. click on "Properties"
3. switch over to the "BETAS" tab
4. click on the dropdown box and select "controllersupport"
5. done! once the game finishes updating, you will now be on the upcoming version 1.2 branch, with all the features that it brings.

Whether it's the custom difficulties, tactical reloads, or controller support - any feedback or bug reports are appreciated!

I would also like to hear from folks with controllers on how the game plays with one. I am primarily keyboard + mouse guy, so playing on a controller is not comfortable for me no matter what tweaks I make to the control schemes. Hearing some feedback from frequent controller users would be greatly appreciated.

By participating in the BETA branch you would also help with testing the upcoming update - something that makes the game a better experience for everyone!

Thanks for reading, hope you're enjoying the game!
