Virtual Hunter News

This small update includes a few small changes and fixes. Finally you can hear the wooden floor under your feet in the lodges and all surfaces should use the proper walking sounds. Animals stance check change should help to keep them more predictable. The next update will most likely be the big OpenXR update which will take us a moment to finalize. This is the biggest backend change to the game and it will benefit everyone when it goes live. But it takes a ton of work and testing to get it right.

• Changed animals to check the player's stance more frequently.*
  
• Added wood floor surface to the lodge’s loft
  
• Adjusted binoculars sharpness to match the scopes
  

• Fixed an issue where players visibility was set to 0 by default
  
• Fixed an issue where players footsteps didn’t match the surface they are walking on
  
• Fixed hunting stands misaligned ladder highlights
  

* We’ve had reports where spooked animals will sometimes spook again from very far away even if the player was still and prone in a good wind. This change can help with this and we need your reports on it! Please let us know if spooked animals are still fleeing again from much further than they are supposed to.

We received feedback how our new optics and magnifications were not correct and they were too small. Thank you for that! After testing and diving deeper into this, we realized that the calculations we used were not correct and magnifications were all over the place. To fix this, we completely reworked them by measuring their magnifications by hand based on real life metrics instead of relying on Unity’s camera FOV and different calculations. All optics now and in the future will use this system and are as true to life as possible.

• Reworked all optics magnifications based on real life metrics instead of relying on different calculations to ensure they are correct.
  
• Adjusted male fox spawn rates (they spawned way less than designed)
  
• Adjusted predator callers position in the inventory
  

• Fixed an issue where 3-9x50 scopes zoom operation was inverted when used with the left hand
  

If you run into any issues, please let us know in the Steam forums or join our discord where we can help you out!

Happy hunting!
