The Devourer: Hunted Souls Patch Notes - v0.3.9

New Features:

• Added clipboard item for VR players.
  
• Added finger animations for VR players.
  
• Added brightness settings.
  
• Added tutorial texts to understand general game mechanics; you can toggle them on/off
  
• Added additional Screen Space Tutorial texts for every item; you can toggle them on/off
  
• Added a whiteboard with default controls to starting area
  
• Added item respawns for unlocked items (as a preparation for Early Access Launch)
  

Improvements:

• Due to a bug in the engine, all objects and houses were always rendered when you looked into their direction, causing a huge performance loss. Culling now works as intended, resulting in higher frame rates and stability.
  
• Upgrade to Unreal Engine 5.2
  
• A lot of textures have been changed to consume less VRAM.
  
• Added a symbol to indicate auto saving.
  
• Players can now sprint out of crouching.

• Pressing escape now exits interactables.
  
• You can now see who is ready in the lobby.
  
• Redesigned settings menu, should be more understandable now.
  

Bug Fixes:

• Clicking on the "Find Sessions" button now triggers finding sessions as intended.
  
• Clients can now see current tasks in the lobby.
  
• New joining clients can now see the current loaded save game and difficulty in the lobby.
  
• Potential fix for low frames in the lobby that could cause VR widgets to still be visible in non-VR.
  
• Settings menu: Some settings had wrong default values, which have been fixed.
  
• Settings menu: DLSS/TSR now deactivate the scaling options when turned off.
  
• Flashlight and tablet item no longer stutter when turning the camera.
  

General Changes:

• Reworked death system, no maze anymore, and should be easier to understand. If every character dies, the losing screen is triggered immediately instead of teleporting players to the zombie area.
  
• Shorter respawn time for players who died.
  
• Disabled Instanced Stereo, since it somehow caused crashes for people playing non VR
  

Language additions:

Known Issues:

• AMD GPUs may experience visual glitches (everything is pink and/or bright).
