Update 76 Alpha3 is Now Live! (On the Alpha Branch)



Howdy folks!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ui59PEXO-5M

Another week, another Update 76 Alpha. This one (aside from its toys) is really focussed on trying a new resource loading approach. The goals here are to:
  • Speed initial loads for HDD users
  • Make mid-game asset loads a bit smoother
  • Break the resources apart a bit more for smaller downloads with some future updates
  • Just a much-needed organization pass


As mentioned in the devlog, PLEASE, if you are using the Alpha, if you could try this out, then make a post in the Bug Reports section with [Alpha 3 Load Performance] in the subject line with the following info:
  • HMD, CPU, RAM, Windows Virtual Memory/Pagefile Size setting, EXACTLY what type of drive the game is running from, and if it is also your OS drive
  • How does Take & Hold feel? Is it different than before?
  • How does Return of the Rotwieners feel? Is it any different than before?
  • How does Spawning from the Item Spawner feel? Is it any different than before?


Thanks so much!!!

Changelog - Update 76 - Alpha 3

Additions:
  • Added New Firearm: AK74N (5.45 x 39mm)
  • Added New Firearm: RGM40 (40mm Caseless Grenade)

Changes:
  • [TENTATIVE CHANGE]: The main ‘guns’ bundle is no longer pre-loaded. It has been broken apart to aid on-demand loading, and instead only pre-loads a much smaller bundle that mostly contains ammo and some other base assets
  • Only one attachable melee weapon (bayonet) can be mounted to a weapon at once (due to how data is fused to enable this feature)
  • Added GP-25 Attachment mount to AKM, AKM Modern, AK101, Kalishniluger
  • Added AK Bayonet Mount to Kalishniluger


Fixes:
  • Fixed Gimbal-Lock spinning caused by holding a firearm two handed, but sideways (common when Arm-swinging)
  • Fixed Broken M79 Firing Sound
  • [Meat Fortress] Speedloader Now Spawns Correctly in Take & Hold with Revolver
  • SVT-40 Scope fixed
  • Fixed like a bajillion issues with attachments (that were all inter-related)
  • Fixed Foregrip pose offsetting to aid with close dual grabs (like p90)


Notes:
  • Vault is currently disabled to prevent Vault file corruption due to unfinished Item Database changes
  • Thown objects (shuriken/pencil) are still broken, as are Meat Fortress Syringes
  • Pickup/drops sounds are still firing in places they shouldn’t. This is still being worked on
