Hey peakbaggers! Just a few updates this time around. Be sure to check out the notes below as there are some updates to display resolutions, fullscreen modes, framerate unlocking, and other stuff.
1.6.6
Bird Seeds
- Added bird seeds that can temporarily pacify angered birds. Has limited use.
- Five packs of bird seeds can now be found on peaks in the Great Gales. Use your barometer to locate them.
Fullscreen Mode
- Reworked fullscreen mode a bit to be more clear.
- Fullscreen Mode is now a drop-down to choose between Fullscreen, Fullscreen Borderless, and Windowed.
Display Resolutions
- Display resolution options will now show refresh rates (Hz). Be sure to select the one that fits your current screen.
FPS Limit
- Added an option to unlock the framerate.
- By default, the game will try to run at 60 fps (Option: Locked).
- If you wish to run the game above 60 fps (Option: Unlocked), I recommend leaving Vertical Sync on in order to prevent screen-tearing and unpredictable gameplay. Even when the FPS is unlocked/uncapped, the framerate will only go as high as your monitor's refresh rate if you have Vertical Sync on.
Vertical Sync
If you have Vertical Sync enabled, the game will try to match the framerate to your screen's refresh rate in order to prevent screen-tearing. E.g. when Vertical Sync is on and you run the game on a 144 Hz monitor, the game will try to match the framerate to 144 in order to prevent screen-tearing.
Performance
If you had performance issues previously, they might be tied to the resolution chosen before this patch. Please make sure you take a look at the resolution options and match them to your preferred display in this patch.
Specifically, if you play with Vertical Sync enabled, make sure your native monitor refresh rate (Hz) is the same (or close to) the chosen resolution option and Hz.
- Other minor bugfixes.
Hotfix 1.6.6a
Display Resolutions
Added a few basic default 16:9 resolutions as well another check to detect native resolutions that aren't 16:9 specifically.
You'll probably need to set your preferred resolution once you enter the game after this patch.
Keep in mind that some resolutions will have misplaced UI positions as the game primarily supports 16:9 resolutions.
Other tweaks and bugfixes
- Bird Seeds can now be used in all modes.
- Fixed a visual issue with the cabin crampons.
- Fixed some issues with camera animations not resetting movement and rotation values properly after animating.
- Fixed a UI issue with the chalk tooltip.
Hotfix 1.6.6b
- Fixed a bug with the currently used resolution being incorrect in the previous patch.
When launching after this updating to this patch, the game will automatically choose the last resolution available (native). This is only set once.
If you wish to use another resolution and refresh rate, please choose one from Options > Graphics > Screen Resolution.
- Game Default resolutions will now have refresh rates based on the currently used screen.
Hotfix 1.6.6c
- Common Ultrawide resolutions have been added back. They will show up if you run the game with launch options.
- If you're playing in ultrawide, please use the launch options outlined here. If the options don't show up after using it, you can add the command line "-optionsUW" after the others.
Patch 1.6.6d
- Fixed a bug that allowed you to get more release force than intended.
- Fixed a bug with ice axes adding more than one increment to the Holds Made counter in Time Attack.
- Fixed a bug causing you to sometimes teleport when grabbing a hold on Solemn Tempest.
- Other minor fixes.
