[h3]Hey everyone,[/h3][p]
We’ve rolled out a build that addresses the major compatibility issues many of you have asked about - including fixes for Virtual Desktop, other wireless streaming methods, and various HMD/controller setups (especially on Quest).[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We've had the build on our experimental branch for a while, and it looks like nothing major came up. Thanks everyone who jumped in and tested it! [/p][p]
If the game didn’t work properly for you before, now’s the time to jump back in and give it another go.
[/p][hr][/hr][h3] 🛠️ What’s been fixed:[/h3][p][/p][p]✅ Virtual Desktop & wireless streaming issues[/p][p]✅ Improved support for a wider range of headsets and controllers[/p][p][/p][p]This build is focusing only on fixing those compatibility problems. No 8+ hours of new content, that's coming in Zero Caliber 2. ;)[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]
Man, it still feels good to finally have some updates to share here.
And trust me, Zero Caliber 2 Remastered will make up for the wait!
[/p][p]If you’re curious what we’ve been cooking, and how different Zero Caliber 2 Remastered is from the standalone version, check out Mac In VR’s video:[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]
And hey, you know what they say - a wishlist a day keeps the bugs away! winkwinkwink[/p][p][/p][p]Cheers,
Dan[/p][p][/p]

[h3]Hey everyone,[/h3][p]Some of you probably thought Zero Caliber was dead.
Yeah, it’s been a while.. It’s old, sure, and honestly feels like it came from a different timeline at this point - but it’s not dead! It’s still holding on as one of the few VR shooters with hte complete single player, Co-op, and PvP package.
And now, we're finally getting close to releasing its long-awaited sequel: Zero Caliber 2.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]BUT… and this is important.[/h3][p]I know we haven’t treated Zero Cal the way it deserved.
That led to all kinds of compatibility issues with Virtual Desktop, wireless streaming, and certain HMD/controller setups (especially Quest). For some of you, the game just didn’t work. That’s on us.[/p][p]I could go into the reasons why, but that’s a much longer story. Maybe one day. ;)[/p][p]For now, I just want you to know: we finally fixed those compatibility issues![/p][hr][/hr][h3]🛠️ The updated build is available on the experimental-public branch.[/h3][p]If you had trouble launching or playing the game because of those issues, feel free to jump in and test it out.

[/p][hr][/hr][h3]A few quick heads-up:[/h3]

• [p]This build is focused only on fixing those compatibility problems. No 8+ hours of new content, that's coming in Zero Caliber 2. ;)[/p]
• [p]It’s single player only (no servers running for this one).[/p]
• [p]It’s still experimental. If you run into bugs, especially anything related to VD, streaming, or controller compatibility, please post them under this news post.[/p]
• [p]Back up your save files before switching to the branch. Just to be safe.[/p]

[hr][/hr][p]If the feedback’s solid and things hold up, I’ll push this live at some point.[/p][p]It’s good to finally have some real updates to share here again. And trust me, Zero Caliber 2 will make up for the wait.
And hey, you know what they say - a wishlist a day keeps the bugs away! winkwinkwink[/p][p]

🧟‍♂️ Who Let the Zombies Out?! 🧟‍♂️

Hey everyone,

Zero Caliber's FREE Zombies DLC is LIVE, adding an extra 1.5-2h worth of content to the base game! You can launch the zombie missions the same way you'd launch regular campaign missions - look for the 'Dark Ops - Zombies' maps! Before going into details, here's everything we packed into this update:

🗺️ Three Brand New Maps
🔫 Limited Ammo
🎰 Randomized Weapons
🤝 Solo & 2-player Co-op Zombie Mode (crossplay included)
🧟 2 regular and 3 special zombie types
🐰 Easter Egg galore

[h2]NEW MAPS[/h2]

You can fight zombies on 3 brand new maps: HQ, Oilrig and Ship. We don't know much about the origins of the zombie outbreak, they just appeared, and are storming the OSA's HQ in great numbers. You'll have to fight them off wave after wave while carrying out small tasks, with one main goal: ESCAPE.

[h2]LIMITED AMMO[/h2]

Opposed to the base game where ammo is unlimited, the new zombie game mode is different. You'll start with one single pistol and 1 mag. Worry not, there are strategically placed ammo boxes all around each map. Simply grab it and place it into your ammo holster. (You can keep count of your ammo on your wrist watch.) If that's not enough, slayed zombies have a chance to drop ammo. If even that's not enough.. well, it's MELEE time! Oh, we've also added two new melee weapons. 😎

[h2]RANDOMIZED WEAPONS[/h2]

Between each zombie wave, additional, but randomized weapons will appear at designated weapon racks. It's up to you if you take them, or stay with a previously obtained gun.

[h2]SOLO & 2-PLAYER CO-OP[/h2]

It can get lonely in the dark.. but don't worry, you can wreak havoc on zombies with your best pal, S.O. or anyone you find online!

[h2]SPECIAL ZOMBIE TYPES[/h2]

Fighting the same enemies can get boring.. so we made sure you'll encounter enough zombie variety to keep you busy. Look out for the big ones! 👀

[h2]EASTER EGGS[/h2]

We've hidden quite a few surprises for those with a sharp eye - we can't tell you what they all mean just yet, so stay tuned for a HUGE announcement coming real soon!
