Beta Available for Testing! v1.0.3i
Patch 1.0.3i Beta 1 is now available in our beta branch. (Instructions below; beta is Windows only.)
[h3]IMPROVEMENTS[/h3]
* Controls remapping: You can now remap mouse buttons to keyboard inputs and vice versa.
* Some physics optimizations, which should improve performance if limited by CPU power (sometimes occurs when many animals are active in the game world, though most players are usually limited by GPU power) and possibly reduce some lag spikes.
* In the Quest panel, player's current quest is automatically displayed (instead of first quest in the list).
* In Graphics Quality, new option for Grass and Bush Variety: Low will be a bit faster.
* Reduced odds of wolf carcass spawning.
* Slightly reduced odds of coyotes and mule deer spawning.
[h3]BUGS FIXED[/h3]
* During winter season, after sleeping and dreaming at end of December, terrain is bare ground instead of covered with snow.
* Some areas of snow during Winter Season have obvious tiling patterns or are too dark or contrasty.
* Wolf can get stuck hovering in the air along rock face.
* Wolf sometimes climbs weirdly up a rock and then leaps off.
* Elk Hunt notification can appears when biting other prey and interrupt the action.
* Doe mule deer carcass is masquerading as moose in scent view.
* A dead log has orange rim glow.
* Scent View Tutorial Tip blocks input and scent controls while displayed.
* Typo on one dispersal wolf: Cinnebar instead of Cinnabar
* Animals occasionally will teleport when touching other animals.
* Visual glitches with dreams.
* Water splash audio sometimes stops when you zoom out and then back in again.
* In Lost River, fire tower and porch roofs do a poor job of blocking raindrops.
