[h2]Change List:[/h2]

• Fixed UI assets on load screens for ultrawide monitors
  
• Improved shader pre-compilation
  
• Refined the wording and event triggering of the hint related to the breath environment hazard on the tongue

Some players have been struggling with the tongue/breath segment of the game. In response I've added a hint there that will guide you towards overcoming that obstacle that triggers either after a couple of deaths or after not making much progress within a few minutes. This should help players who had conceptual trouble here avoid getting completely stuck.

[h2]Change List:[/h2]

• Further improved shader pre-compilation to reduce stutter when viewing effects under new lighting conditions for the first time.
  
• Reduced Rappel State Cooldown from 0.5 to 0.15 seconds
  
• Minor visual effects polish
  

There was previously a bug that could occurred for some players when landing on the ICBH where the player would rapidly cycle between the rappel state and the walking state. In a recent patch, I fixed this by adjusting the slope of that part of the game and adding a cooldown to the enter condition of the rappel state. Because of this, if you landed at just the right angle on the corner of a platform with the tether above you, there could be a short delay where you’re falling despite holding the handbrake (as you’re technically not “rappelling”). To be safe, I’ve tightened that window, so this won't be an issue going forward.

[h3]Changes Made:[/h3]

• Hint history now no longer scrolls when the game is not pause and resets to the newest hint when toggling the pause menu
  
• Increased left stick deadzone from 0.1 to 0.2
  

[h3]Changes Made:[/h3]

• Adjusted visuals on ICBH for better affordances.
  
• Fixed a misaligned button on the gamma calibration screen
  
• Minor improvements to shader pre-compilation
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the player to transition back and forth between the walking state and the rappelling state
  

I felt like the part of the game where players get onto the ICBH had visuals that could have been more interesting to look at so I did another art pass on that part of the level. I also finished some minor bug fixes and UI re-alignments.
