Hey everyone. This update brings a new tool that will allow you to practise whatever sections of a peak you'd like, as well as a few bugfixes. Be sure to check out the notes about the new tool below!

[h2]Routing Flag[/h2]
The Routing Flag is a tool to practise sections on a peak. You'll find the flag at the starting area on peaks you have already completed (and if you have any potential collectable items from the pertaining peak).
Once picked up, press the hotkey 'G' to to place the Routing Flag on a wall. You can then teleport automatically to wherever you placed it, allowing you to test different leaps and routes to perfect your climbing. The locations of the routing flags will be saved for each individual peak once set.



[h3]Routing Flag Description[/h3]

• Only shows up when you've finished a peak and collected all potential items on it.
  
• Summit Stamping, Time Attack, and Bivouac use will all be disabled when using the routing flag.
  
• Location of the routing flag will be saved when you place it. If you want to use Time Attack, Summit Stamping or Bivouac, then you'll need to put the flag back.
  
• Hotkey for placing a routing flag 'G'. Can only be done once you have picked up the flag from the starting area.
  
• Hotkey for moving to your routing flag 'F'.
  
• To release from the flag, either press "Jump" or grab a hold.
  
• While a routing flag is active, you cannot die.
  

[h3]Bugfixes[/h3]

• Fixed a bug with already having the smoking pipe unlocked even if you didnt complete 10 boulders in YFYD.
  
• Optimised a few of the environment background mountains on Solemn Tempest.
  
• Fixed some issues with save files.

[h2]Patch 1.5.0[/h2]

Hello everybody! This patch adds a few changes to the Barometer to better help with finding items on peaks. There are also some minor tweaks to Ice Axes and Crampons, as well as a bunch of bugfixes. Be sure to check them out below!

[h3]Barometer[/h3]

• The North and West position indicators have been replaced with an indicator for Highest Altitude reached.
  
• A directional indicator have been added to show the general direction of the nearest collectable (Artefacts and Collectable Ropes). If the indicator is spinning, all artefacts have been found on the current map.
  
• You can find the new item direction indicator and highest altitude reached next to the regular compass.
  

[h3]Ice Axes[/h3]

• Ice Axes strike force will scale down gradually depending on how quick and often you spam switching between ice axes and hands.
  This resets itself after a moment where you arent swapping, or instantly when you are grabbing a regular hold or latched onto ice. The lowest percent the strike force will be limited to (after much spam-swapping) is 30% of the original.
  
• You won't notice this unless you spam equip / unequip ice axes.
  

[h3]Crampons[/h3]

• Crampons jump will only reset if you are grabbing a hold / latched on ice and below a certain high velocity.

• Added some additional checks to detect Ultrawide resolutions.
  
• Nerfed the wind on Solemn Tempest.
  
• Great Gaol can now be seen from Wuthering Crest.
