Sniper Elite VR September Patch

Fellow snipers,
We hope your return to the battlefield hasn’t been too fraught with danger and misadventure!
With the support of JAW and Coatsink, September’s Sniper Elite VR update offers players more control of their sniping simulation experience. We’ve addressed a number of quality-of-life improvements we know the Community has been craving including custom difficulties, the ability to adjust weapon alignment and new vignette alteration options.
Alongside the usual bug fixes, we’re delighted to provide official support for ProTubeVR gunstocks and, for the full immersive experience, Sniper Elite VR now also supports Haptic feedback for bHaptics suits.
A video update on the patch notes can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duvt56Vi5_Q
The feedback we have received via Discord, Social, Steam and beyond has been pivotal in shaping this update so thank you to the Sniper Elite Community and happy Sniping!
~ The Sniper Elite Team
Full Patch Notes:
All Platforms

Players can physically crouch in order to activate stealth mode as well as the button press.
Players will now be able to turn off the vignette for explosions and killcams
The new Vignette options, players can now: turn them 'Off' completely, resulting in no vignettes turn on 'Comfort' only, resulting in 'Sprint' & 'Kill Cam' vignettes only turn on 'All', resulting in All vignettes being visible including explosions
Players can now select from a variety of weapon alignment options. Please see below - More details on Weapon Alignment
Players will be able to adjust the tracking and aim smoothing The main purpose of the tracking smoothing is to 'dejitter' the controller movement, having it on high should help a bit if you have shaky hands. When set to high players should notice a bit more lag in the overall weapon movement We also have Aim Smoothing as a separate option which dampens input while using focus mode
Players will have the option to turn bullet trails off
Players can now select custom difficulties Implemented custom difficulty with options for turning off/on aim assist, bullet drop & bullet wind
Players can now adjust the strength of the vibration. We now have a user setting for Low and High Strength and can also be turned off completely
Players can now interact with the bolt with the trigger button
Players are now able to practice using explosives in the Resistance Base
Players can use hand direction for forward movement Added option to choose between head, left hand or right hand for forward movement source
Updated tutorial message for grenade throwing
Enemies now react to minor explosions in front of them during sound cover
Improved flick grab system Flick grab beam will now cancel if the hand hits another grab collider before the flick action is activated. Reduced time & velocity thresholds to activate flick grab Improved localisation
General bug fixing and quality of life improvements

Environment popping
Lighting improvements
Improvements to ladder climbing
Stopped players from getting snagged on corners and doorways
We now reset the trip mine pin if the mine is not primed on pickup
Reduce the sensitivity of the out of bounds message
Button prompt obscuring journal text has been fixed
Resetting weapon alignment on scene change is now removed as part of the change to add new weapon alignment options resolves an issue with gun handling post killcam
Downed NPCs no longer contribute to capturing defensive areas which was stopping some players from completing the 3rd mission.
Extended grab colliders for inserted pistol type magazines to make it easier to remove the spent magazines.
Stopped sound cover from masking minor explosions within view of patrolling NPCs
Fixed automatic partial reload not showing the correct number of rounds for certain weapons
Plus a variety of other minor and trivial bugs
Additional PC VR Improvements (Including Mixed Reality):

Extra graphics options added for FXAA, MSAA, SSAA & Lens Flares (will affect performance (FPS) - intended for higher end PC’s)
Official support for bHaptics Tactsuit X40, Tactosy for arms and Tactal for head
Official support for ProTubeVR gunstocks including haptic feedback when using the ForceTube gunstock
Additional Rift Improvements:

Reduced trigger threshold to 0.75 to try and prevent clashing with the controller deadzone which was resulting in trigger presses not being recognised.
More details on Weapon Alignment:
Weapon alignment options a bit to fix some issues and add extra support. The new options are:

NONE - No artificial weapon alignment, weapon always aligns directly to hand orientation.
FULL - Releasing and re-grabbing with either hand will keep the weapon in place.
OFFHAND - The 'Pavlov' option, weapon alignment only on the fore grip hand.
SPRING - Same as FULL but weapon alignment will return to hand orientation as the hand is moved (the current system).
SPRING OFFHAND - Same as OFFHAND but weapon alignment will return to hand orientation as the hand is moved. Note:
Gunstock users should use NONE or OFFHAND or SPRING OFFHAND.
Pavlov players will find OFFHAND as the option that performs most like the Pavlov weapon alignment.
