Patch 1.8.5 - Volume Rework and Peak Visuals
Hey everyone.
Volumes have had an extensive rework.
The previous version was too generous in the amount of time you had on the hold. The new version should bring back the challenge of the original vision of these holds while also being a lot more balanced.

[h3]Volumes Overhaul[/h3]
- Balance meter UI has been added.
- The balance meter will fill up drastically when you have downwards momentum. Chalk negates this effect significantly.
- Pitch stamina drain has been drastically increased. If you only have one hand on a volume, the drain will be much faster. Chalk negates this effect significantly.
- After setting off a volume, you'll regain a portion of your pitch stamina. So the longer you stay on a volume, the less time / pitch stamina will you have on the next potential volume.
- As usual, if you are having trouble with these new volumes, use chalk.
[h3]Rope Tool[/h3]
- You can now chalk both hands while hanging on a rope with the Chalk hotkey.
[h3]Visual Updates[/h3]
- Mara's Arch, Ivory Granites, Welkin Pass, Seigr Craeg, Ullrs Chasm, Eldris Wall, and Mount Mhòrgorm can now be seen from Towering Vísir.
- Upscaled the texture tiling a little bit on some rock materials.
[h3]Major Bugfixes[/h3]
- Fixed remaining ice axe issues related to destructible ice.
- Fixed a bug where you could "fall" through branches and wheels after grabbing them, leaving your arms behind.
- Fixed a bug where you could use the barometer along with the ice axes.
