Hello explorers!
A huge thank you to everyone who supported ITR2 on Early Access launch! And thank you for sharing your impressions and feedback – this is the essence of developing a game in Early Access. We see your comments/reviews/posts and are working to process and respond to them as best we can. There’s also a lot of suggestions and criticism that we’ll gradually address and take into account going forward. Some of the issues you've pointed out have already been fixed in patch 0.10.1, released earlier today.

Now, we'd like to clarify the most frequent issues raised so far and what we are doing or have done about them.
[h3]Day-Night Cycle[/h3]
First of all, in patch 0.10.1, we slowed down the passage of time in the Radius locations. It was indeed too fast, and this change is already in the game.
[h3]Player Height[/h3]
The issue with player height is significantly more complex and doesn't have a fix in update 0.10.1. It involves a number of different factors. Firstly, it's related to our technical implementation, and we are working on fixing the associated bugs. Secondly, the player's height in the game is influenced by how correctly their safety zone is set up (we measure from this point, and if it's above the floor, the height will be higher). Thirdly, for architectural reasons related to co-op, all players' heights in the game are the same. This approach is standard for modern multiplayer VR games, and it is necessary to reduce the number of bugs related to ensuring everything in the game works the same for users of any height. The discrepancy between real and virtual height can be confusing for some players, even if everything else works correctly. When these factors combine in certain ways, we get the current situation with height. We are continuing to research the problem and are looking for the most effective solution.
[h3]Body Rotation[/h3]
We've also received many requests for different solutions regarding body rotation relative to the head. Today we’ve added a setting for this to the game, so everyone can adjust this aspect to their comfort.
[h3]Technical Aspects of the Current Version[/h3]
Additionally, a significant number of problems and misunderstandings arise because the game works only through OpenXR and doesn’t support other, no longer developed runtimes. Please use only the OpenXR runtime and avoid using OpenXRToolkit and LIV. Also, use the latest version of Virtual Desktop with automatic runtime selection or any version with VDXR set as the default. We currently don’t support HTC Vive Wands controllers. We’re exploring options for full support of various VR devices, but this is not an easy or quick task.
[h3]Troubleshooting[/h3]
We see that some technical issues are related to specific hardware and operating systems. We’re actively helping our players resolve these issues and have already published a guide on common technical problems and their solutions.
[h3]Co-op[/h3]
Regarding all issues in co-op mode – as we warned, it is in beta, and we’ll be working on it until full release. We continue to work on its stability and proper synchronization, and in update 0.10.1, we fixed some bugs related to it. The rest are in progress.
[h3]The Base[/h3]
We’re aware that not everyone is happy with the new Base, particularly its scale and appearance, though the feedback on its convenience, new features, interfaces, and the format of the Supply Depot is generally positive. With all these changes, the Base simply couldn't remain in its old form, and its new version reflects the changes since the original game. We've written about this in several diaries, and the theme will be further explored in the game later. In any case, thank you for the feedback! Work on the Base is not finished, and there will be further iterations.
[h3]Future Plans[/h3]
As for our future plans, in the coming weeks, we’ll continue bug fixing and are planning another patch. Part of the team has already switched to working on our first content update. We’ll share more details about our plans in one of the upcoming diaries. Stay tuned :)

See you in the Radius!

Hello explorers!

This week marks ITR’s 4th anniversary. Today, we’re very excited, happy, and proud to announce the Early Access release of Into the Radius 2. The launch is also accompanied by a 15% discount until July 31st.

We’d like to extend our gratitude for your patience and feedback during the months leading up to Early Access. Your responses to our Dev Diaries and Questions have been incredibly helpful in not only shaping the game, but also keeping us motivated.

Below is some useful information to keep in mind if you decide to play the game.
[h3]What to expect in this version[/h3]

• Over 12 hours of gameplay
  
• Basic tutorial on a separate location
  
• Completely reimagined player base with old and new features
  
• 2 full-fledged Radius locations, one of which is larger than any in ITR1
  
• 14 types of firearms (some with 2-3 variants) with new animations and sounds
  
• A set of basic attachments, standard and tracer ammo, and various magazine options
  
• 6 types of chest rigs with different configurations (each in right-handed and left-handed versions) and 4 types of starter backpacks
  
• Basic Explorer gear: updated probes, artifact detector, electronic tablet, flashlights, injectors, cigarettes, and crackers
  
• Basic set of updated enemies and anomalies
  
• Various types of artifacts and brand new "nests" for them
  
• New movement types, including jumping and special anomalies
  
• Full progression with 7 top-priority missions, multiple Security Level increases, new weapon unlocks, and 6 types of side missions
  
• Single-player mode and an early version of 2-player co-op mode
  
• Click here to learn more

[h3]Important notes about ITR2[/h3]

• Works only through OpenXR
  
• It doesn’t support LIV. In some cases, you may need to uninstall LIV from your computer.
  
• Doesn’t have integration with bHaptics and other additional accessories
  
• May have issues when using OpenXRToolkit
  
• If you launch the game and experience shaking visuals or controllers, make sure that OpenXRToolkit is not running, and if you are connecting via Virtual Desktop, ensure it uses the VDXR runtime (from version 1.32.9 this happens by default when the OpenXR runtime is set to Automatic).
  
• We cannot guarantee that each EA version will support previous saves, so be prepared for your progress to be lost with updates. We can also tell you long in advance that you'll need to start fresh after full release as well.
  

We look forward to your feedback and first impressions!
Happy anniversary, and see you in the Radius :)
