[h3]Hello Vikings![/h3]

[h3]Pre-Beta 0.5.5:[/h3]

Archery is here! We started updating the inventory to make it more convenient and functional, this patch brings its first part. Also bug fixes and improvements.

[h3]Patch note:[/h3]

• Added archery.
  Use bow and arrows for ranged combat.
  
  Objects penetration. Depends on pulling strength and surface: trees, stones, grass, etc.
  
  
  
  Body parts penetration and different body parts damage/reaction.
  
  
  
  Shields interaction. Arrows can pierce shields, you can also block an arrow with a weapon if you manage to do it in time.
  
  
  
  Archery UI is temporal. With the future patches more bows and arrows will be added and become available for customization. We also continue polishing arrow flight speed, damage, etc.
  
  
• Added inventory upgrade foundation, UI for quick slots 1-4, easier weapon swapping.
  
  
• Added music in Deathmatch.
  
  
• Fixed blood trails not showing up.
  
  
• Fixed infinity block after fast clicking.
  
  
• Fixed slow block animation blending.
  
  
• Fixed rare character flight after respawn.
  
  
• Fixed not being able to pick up shield.
  
  
• Fixed certain weapon customization modules making weapon invisible.
  
  
• Fixed old weapon showing up in hand along with new one after customization.

[h3]Known issues:[/h3]

• Block missing hits. We are repairing the parry system to make it work properly in the next patches.
  
  
• T-pose showing up sometimes at the start of match at the moment of choosing inventory slot 3. It will be fixed in the next patches. Now you need to unequip and equip it again and it will not appear during the match.
  
  
• Pressing of inventory slot during its loading can cause some bugs (invisible weapons, etc.). Temp solution - press any inventory slot again.
  
  
• Weapon impulse bugging. Sometimes no impulse or too big.
  
  
• Characters don't play movement animations correctly. Only hands move according to animations. We need to fix upperbody bones rotation during movement animations.
  
  
• Wounds are visible not on all the characters, also remain on after character respawn.
  
  
• Dual wield weapons were temporarily turned off while we are upgrading inventory.
  
  
• Dead bodies disappear fast after death.
  
  
• Rare crash on Mjolnir drop.
  
  
• Balance between melee and range weapons

Some bugs can appear due to conflict with temp / saved files of previous VALHALL versions on your PC.
If you meet any unlisted issue then need to:
- uninstall the game through Steam
- delete manually game folder in your Steam folder
- delete all game saves here: C:|Users|*YourName*|AppData|Local|VALHALL.
