-Polishing pass of interface and HUD - corrected a number of fonts and colors to better pair with the HUD font/color paradigm established in Consortium: THE TOWER.
-Updated the Info Console - accuracy improvements and other minor fixes, now in sync with stand-alone Info Console program.FIXES:
-Fixed rare/edge case non-progression that would occur upon loading a saved game made during Knight 15’s opening speech just before she hands over the CMC - in this one case, her hand would be empty. (fixes the one and only case where an ISS has started but was paused so will play again (K15 group 80) but had the flag HasPlayed already set so would not fire the started logic again which caused the CMC to be missing from K15s hand).

-Fixed non-progression bug that could happen with the controls for leaving the Bishop’s bed after dismissing pawn64 because you told him the truth about wade listening in. Now properly allows the player to get out of bed at the right time, if they choose to (for meeting with K15 or use the VT), and will carry onto the dream if they stay in bed.
-Fixed non-progression bug that could happen after the Pawn 64 "incident" if you told R25 about the traitor organically (as opposed to her asking you...). Now correctly forces the player to meet with K15
-Fixed issue where if the Pawn 64 incident occured *and* the player has not yet told R25 who they think the trator is, the timing of meeting up with K15 at her office was screwed up.
-Fixed timing with K15 showing up to open her office if the Pawn 64 incident did not occur, preventing an unnecessarily long wait for her to show up
-Fixed erroneous long "pause" that was in the pawn64 "incident" just after it started.
-Fixed erroneous early failing of objective that gives the player choice of VT, bed or meeting K15.
-Fixed turning on/off bishop cabin lights not making the lights on/off sound in the last half of the stream
-Changed using bishop's bed ISS prompt to be simply "lights!" so that it works as a toggle - Developer post
CONSORTIUM VR V1.0.6

CONSORTIUM VR v1.0.2

Original postWe have fixed all of the remaining issues reported to us (and more…)! (we think…)
Fixes include a really bad bug that would happen when saving/loading universes during the last half of the narrative stream - this bug could cause all sorts of havoc, including breaking the “saving wade” sequence, virus logic breaking, etc.
While there may still be lingering unknown issues, the build should be in solid shape now! Kindly let us know if you run into any more problems, and we’ll fix ‘em right away.
MAJOR FIXES:
-Fixed issue where any universes loaded during the last half of the narrative stream would fire off all the starting logic for the last half of the stream (logic that should only ever fire once…), CAUSING HAVOC. (Fixed OnStart on logic_choreo_scene ents firing again when a level was restored on any choreo ents which were currently running)
-Fixed traitor not being damageable. (Fixed scripted sequences saving the incorrect state of NPC damageability and setting NPCs to be non-damagable after their animation state ended. This is only the case where a save was made durring an NPC scripted animation. NPCs damage state is properly restored now.)
-Fixed “pawn 1 dead” global not being set, and put some extra insurance to try and help some saved universes be in sync. (this bug was accidently introduced just before 1.0.0…).
-Music volume levels and attenuation settings fixed up across the entire stream
-Fixed issue where a big chunk of the new king convo was inaccessible for everyone
-Fixed non-progression that would occur at the end of the convo with Kiril in the brig if he disliked the seekerFIXES:
-Improved how NPCs which fall out of the map are handled. This fixes cases of loading universes and NPCs falling out of the stream environment, causing NPC dialog logic to fire erroneously.
-Fixed incorrect group sequence being assigned to a zenlil 1 choreo scene
-Fixed proximity sphere around initial stealth merc standoff not turning off in time which fired standoff groups which shouldn't fire if the player has already started attacking
-”Killed by” text in ending screen will now not include an "a {thing}" unless refering to an enemy unit, not an NPC name
-Fixed traitor not attacking the player during confrontation in bishop 8s cabin if the player mildly attacks them first
-Fixed traitor not wearing VR deck in cabin confrontation
-Fixed suffocation event not turning off in Bishop 6's cabin
-Cleaned up jank from info console buttons
-Fixed issue with the "k15 and Wade dancing” vid
-Fixed issue where traitor did not appear to materialize her KAR in during the confrontation.
-Fixed broken mission pod 1 launch sequence erroneously firing and the pod itself appearing to be back in the hangar bay briefly
-Fixed k15 line cutting off during saving wade
-Fixed lights being turned off when confronting traitor in b8's cabin - now lights only all go off for the traitor battle.
-Filled in collision holes in hangar bay
-Fixed Kiril not appearing to grab the cell bars correctly. (fixed kiril not able to have lower body bones gesture influence because of the looping scripted idle sequence he was in)
-Fixed traitor getting stuck in a super angered state if they were attacking the bishop before being knocked out and put in the brig
-Fixed issue where chapter saves caused hitches in NPC dialog
-Fixed failing "confront ###" objective too early when players can still technically complete it
-Fixed transform track in queen line
-Fixed all “Kiril intro pre-EMP attack” K15 chair bouncing
-Fixed the jank caused by a posture anim on pawn 64 being applied while he was in a movement sequence
-Pawn 64 will now correctly stop his movement if he is close to the bishop while running to him to talk to him
-Fixed being able to sneak by pawn 64 when agreeing to talk in the cabin and breaking things (rare).Missile Defense:
-Fixed ending conditions of “Easy” so it doesn't end so earlyTWEAKS:
-Updated localization with latest changes
-Tweaked lounge window virus behaviour
-Suffocation damage reduced from 20 to 4.Missile Defense:
-Slightly boosted difficulty of Easy missile defense
-Boosted difficulty of final wave of hard missile defense - Developer post

Original postOur deepest apologies to everyone who hit these issues!
We are watching all feedback closely - kindly consider posting any issues you find in the Bugs and Issues forum either on Discord, or here on Steam.
FIXES:
-Fixed hand direction movement control for VR which had a couple of issues. It used the wrong direction for movement AND was the wrong hand.
-fixed being able to open the bishop menu in limbo
-fixed the laser dot not showing on menus in VR
-Fixed issue where players could get stuck on the bed, causing a non-progression.
-Fixed issues where the VT Civilian Defense scenarios could not be loaded/played at all, due to an issue we introduced just before 1.0.0 🙁
-Fixed timing issues around K15 coming to her office and the player arriving at the office that were pretty bad in the case where players just spoke to pawn 64.
-All PC keyboard and controller bindings no longer affect VR mode in any way. There could have been bugs by pressing 2D controls in VR mode. Did notice one where pressing the crouch button would make the VR player slower, as if they were crouched.
-Fixed issue where the Chapter 6 save could erroneously occur inside the elevator in certain circumstances - Developer post

CONSORTIUM VR / Remastered: Release Candidate 1

Original postMany VR fixes, finishing touches, various critical fixes, major Steamdeck support improvements, VT levels finished and more. This is an early “release candidate”. All that remains: further testing, fixing bugs and important polish.
We would love any and all gameplay feedback for the newly updated (possibly finished?) civilian defense VT scenarios. Updates include major improvements to civilian AI. Hop into our Discord, post here or send us feedback via the in-game bug reporter.
IMPROVEMENTS:
-Setup controller image screens with labels for deck, xbox, oculus, and index.
-Hooked up radar charts to the end game career record.
-Split incapping beam sounds between incap and healing - healing now has a sound that is in sync with the time it takes to heal things.
-Adding impulse now from the CEAR laser so you can push people with it
-Radial damage is now properly calculated
-Friendly fire lock check has returned! Supports VR as well now.
-Fixed radial damage against shielded enemies not orientating the shield mesh in the right direction
-Finished/Fixed VT “Death Gauntlet” example level with built in editor - 10 soldiers and 6 civies total. Now with patrol nodes. Tuned and tweak for fun - I think it's a neat little "puzzle" level now.
-Skin will now show gore if damaged by bullets fire
-Shock grenades now do way less stamina damage per blast - result is more instances of "enemies temporarily shocked" rather than straight to unconciousness.
-Frag grenades now do way more stamina damage and less health per blast - now, shielded combatants (even just 1 strommon shield) will still be alive after one frag grenade, BUT they will likely be knocked unconscious unless heavily shielded.
-Polished frag grenade and shock grenade explosion sound cues
-The player can now recycle grenades, but you have to be quick!
-Zenlil Core “broken” sound polish
-5 new lounge screens added to the rotation.
-improvements to the physics ragdoll bodies. Less spring when ragdolling them in different downed poses. It is pretty hard to fix overall because the animation forces the body to intersect the ground at several points and the physics engine trys to de-penetrate those bodies when ragdolled.
-VT Civilian Defense 2: New time based leaderboard score modifier calculated when level ends successfully. Score gets boost if the VIP is saved in 15 minutes or less. Largest boost: if completed in 50 seconds or under (can you do it?)VR fixes and improvements:
-virtual desktop XR runtime support
-fixed missing controller icons for VR (tutorial video and message board)
-tutorial videos play with time dilation for VR and paused for non-VR. Pausing breaks so many things in VR unfortunately…
-disabling oculus OpenXR plugin in PC packages. This should fix the issues with running in steam.
-ditched buggy HP mixed reality controller plugin… (note: game still supports HP mixed reality headsets/controllers, this plugin has simply been deprecated).
-fixed controller button highlighting showing in VR mode
-fixed not being able to get back to the main menu in VR using Oculus Link through SteamVR
-VR controller text updates when you switch from left handed to right handed
-Bishop menu opens with the unused VR controller buttonMissile Defense:
-Fighter bullets hit c3800 more often now, all three C3800 shield types are triggered more often now from incoming gunfire.
-Changed up kill numbers that relate to dynamic difficulty increases, changed "starting period" difficulty numbers for better initial pacing.VT Civilian Defense 3:
-Now player exit is only up top and has the animated tall tower thingy
-Spawns mostly finished
-New center geometry - the power or computer core for the station once it becomes operational.
-More cover added in various spots, spawning times tuned and loadouts modifed for difficulty - it's definitely a fun/hard challenge now. Very hard to not lose civies.
-Loading animation polishVT Civilian AI:
-Civilians will no longer try to move places when knocked down
-Soldiers will no longer target immobile civilians
-Civilians will now cower if shot while not running some place
-Civilians will no longer stop following the player if shot, unless they are knocked down or killed of course
-Civilians will no longer give up on hiding if they are spotted, but will try to move to better hiding spots if possible
-Civilians will no longer say scared lines about knocked down soldiers
-Civilians being attacked will ONLY run to a hiding spot if they aren't already following the player
-Will now not show civilian talk actions over their head IF the civie is immobile
-CEAR laser and bolts now do damage to vt civies.Steamdeck / 100% controller mode:
-Can now cancel selection of drop down option via B button or whatever is bound to MenuDeSelect
-Hiding more PC glyphs when in steamdeck / big picture mode
-Online subsystem queries now all come from the cached gameinstance pointer instead of re-creating each call which spammed the console
-More fixes and improvements to difference between mouse/keyboard mode and pure controller mode
-Info console text field now controller focusable which will summon the virtual keyboard on steamdeck
-InputMode changes are now considiated into the game mode so it is always known when an input mode is active and when to show / hide the cursor if needed
-Fixed not being able to dismiss tutorials using controller
-Can now recycle using the trigger if PCU is full. Also fixes the crosshair icon not changing.
-Fixed flickering hotslots on steamdeck when using the gyro
-Setting resolution to steamdeck native on steamdeck and forcing fullscreen mode on steamdeck and big picture mode
-fixed xbox inverse face button colors and changed button glyphs to mock modern designTWEAKS:
-Removed delay for changing the merc disposition after Kiril is downed
-Added more force to shotgun shell blasts
-Reduced itempiercingAmmo (KAR ammo) storage space from 35 to 10FIXES:
-Oculus Leaderboards up and running for the Quest
-More improvements to showing world HUD ISS's. This change fixes some more cases of blipping ISS windows for talk anywhere convos and more VR cases. They should be all fixed now. ;)
-fixed another bug with mobile low clouds where they weren't horizon blending because of precision loss... This was supposed to be easy ;)

-VR: Fixed blip to show ISS on device

-Completely finished polishing all information console articles and images.
-Information console has received a major visual polish/completion pass.
-Can now recycle regardless of full energy - excess/waste energy is expelled

-VR news AI reporter lines cleaned up - fixes long-standing bug where iDGi-1 erroneously attributed some lines to Malcolm Thomas.
-Fixed VT civilians saying two lines at once.
-Fixed elevator room bounds sticking way into the hallway which was causing the skybox to not be turned off in the VT sometimes. Not sure how this actor got nudged…
-Fixed VT editor level AI groups not working which led to bad behavior for "go to the exit" or any AI node queries really....
-Fixed VT user scenario Death Gauntlet level conditions not being meetable. Also set a level fail condition of losing 1 friendly.

Back to 0.1.41 again...
Apologies for the confusion. This is a slightly older version of the game that does not have the BIZARRE "HUD not starting up when starting new game" bug. It still has the vast majority of the fixes and changes from 0.1.42.

Reverted the revert... (back to 0.1.42)
The VR build works fine, but there is a major bug in the flatscreen mode where the HUD doesn't show upon starting a new game. To get around this, re-load your game.

Reverted to V0.1.41
A major bug was found in 0.1.42 when running in flat-screen mode where the HUD does not turn on at all. Will properly hot-fix, but have reverted the build for now...
