Dear Players,

Today we release v1.0.7 including various features and fixes. Since launch we have been releasing hot fixes every few days in response to the many helpful reports submitted through the in-game bug tracker. We have solved some major issues such as VR quality issues, many MacOS issues, AI behaviour problems, and more.

This is all thanks to the many players giving great feedback via the in-game "Report Issue" button. We carefully read all submitted issues, and are working our way through fixing any reported bugs as efficiently as we can.

In v1.0.7 we include:

VR Gimbal Camera Zoom

We have reworked the gimbal camera in VR mode to use tracking mode, and be zoomable. This makes it much more effective in VR as you can now recon, tag targets, and call support much more easily. It is also closer to the functionality and style of the non-VR version.

After launch, we promised a series of improvements to VR, and with the other changes already implemented, we have more or less completed our list of improvements. We are still actively interested in improving VR further, so please let us know if you have other ideas for VR! The best way to do this is using the "Report Issue" button in game.

Improved MacOS M1 Support

We have included the latest version of GLFW which is expected to fix an issue stopping some players with Mac M1 computers from being able to play. We have previously fixed a bunch of other issues for Mac players in previous patches, so MacOS support is greatly improved.

There are several other gameplay improvements and bug fixes in this update. See the complete patch notes below.

We look forward to hearing your feedback on this new update!

Much love
The Carrier Command Developers
