Technical Changes
Changes to the Game Sounds
In this update, we have tweaked the steps and surrounding sounds. Check them out and share your thoughts in the comments. Here is what you can pay attention to:
- Did sounds become quieter or louder?
- Can you hear steps well?
- Can you understand where the sound is coming from (position it)?
- Can you tell how sounds change depending on the surface type? For example, can you tell that the enemy is walking on top of a metal container, on wooden planes, water, or soil?
Changes to low Graphics Settings
The resource consumption on low graphics settings has been optimised. Now, when picking these settings, only low resolution textures are loaded in, as they consume less PC resources. The requirements for optimal hardware for graphics and game performance might become higher with time. If your PC does not meet them, it might be tough to have perfect results. Choose what is more important to you — performance or quality graphics. If you want the best experience, make sure your PC meets the minimal requirements and set the graphics to anything over "low" in the settings.
New Content
