Tunguska: The Visitation - Enhanced Edition News

Added following fixes to 1.59-1:

- Improved gamepad lock-on of objects near the player

- When crouching, guns will have slightly lower recoil

- When panting from exhausting stamina, guns will have slightly higher recoil

- Hiding HUD (` key) will only hide the left bottom corner and right bottom corner HUD, leaving the rest of the displays intact

- Made some improvements on locking on targets with controller RS. There's still an issue of being difficult to lock on to target (with the RS) if it's really close to the player. But until I figure that out, if you stand back 3 meters away, it should be a lot easier to lock on targets now.

- Controller button mapping now shows the proper XBOX controller button names rather than Button0 Button1 etc.

- When hovering/locking on doors, they will glow to indicate that they are being selected. (Let me know if you see a door that doesn't glow, since I had to manually modify every door lol)

- Fixed a bug with switching between melee weapon and sawn off shotgun

- Fixed a glitchy animation when switching between guns while aiming down sight, where the character is not aiming but still in the aiming animation.

- Slug rounds now have extended range.

- Skorpion can now be equipped on both primary slot and side arm slot

- If you create a high quality permanent effect serum, the effect will be increased a lot based on the quality

- When you attack loners like Artyom, you won't get a warning about it

- Fixed a bug where dosimeter and sit button mapping for controller are inverted

- Integrated full controller support in the base game! Please visit the in-game Options menu and ensure that the gamepad support is set to "Full". Also it's recommended to disable Steam's controller support for this game. More improvements are coming in subsequent updates!

- I tried to make the two zoom mode (with Z) a little easier to distinguish by blurring the surrounding that's a little further away from the character while zoomed in, like a "Macro" photo effect.

- Now you can use - and = to adjust UI zoom at any time, not just while the menu is closed.

- Significantly reduced the cost for fast travel (guide)

- Fixed a major bug that would cause a cleared enemy camp to respawn in just two days.

- The railroad handcart's storage is now much bigger.

- Added a different display name for the shipping bin in Ravenwood player's house, when you hover mouse on it, so that you don't think it's a normal crate and accidentally sell items.

- When the save game is corrupted, you will receive a message while in game explaining how to restore the backup save

- Drastically increased the armor piercing quality of slug rounds.

- Added a wood pile next to player house's kitchen as a storage.

- Added some ways to slowly increase the medical (increase as you use medicine and some serums) and gunsmith skills (increase as you repair weapons).

Hi everyone, thank you for patiently waiting! I finally finished the first draft of full controller support (XBOX controller), and I released a beta version "1.59beta" which contains this new feature. It includes:

- Able to customize all the button controls (axis controls like D-pad or thumb sticks are hardcoded and cannot be customized)

- Shortcuts for each UI, for example when you open the sleep UI, you can use D-pad left/right to adjust hours. Or, when you in the dialogue UI, you can use the D-pad to select responses, and right stick to scroll. Or, when you try to split items, all the D-pad keys and right stick provide different speeds to move the quantity bar.

- When UI is open, left stick is used to move the mouse cursor. A is left click, and B is right click.

To enable the beta, simply go to Properties of the game, click on the Betas tab. In the access code text field type "tunguskathevisitation" and click "Check Code".



I also removed the "Steam" mode for controller support, since now we no longer need to rely on Steam's native controller support.

Please let me know if you run into any issues or have suggestions on improving the controller gameplay :)

Thank you!

EDIT: I still need to duplicate all the changes for controller support to other languages, so hopefully I can get it done by 12/16. Thank you for your patience!

I’m in the process of implementing full controller support. That is, you can customize all of the key functions to controller buttons while in-game. However, Im not a controller player because i have really sucky thumbs that can’t even type text messages properly :). So i’m look for volunteers to play the beta build, and let me know how it goes and if anything can be improved. If you go to the settings of the game on Steam library, you should see a Betas tab, and once the beta build is ready (most likely Dec 15), you can just add the beta with password “tunguskathevisitation”.

The public update for Dec 17-18 will also contain the full controller support. This update will add quite a bit of quality-of-life improvements as well.

Thank you, and stay tuned!
