Here are the things that are new in SNØ 1.0.01.46
Additions:
- 🏔️✨ Peak of the Week - New mode presenting players with a weekly challenge consisting of a randomly picked mountain, mode and rider. Everyone gets the same challenge, and every week the leaderboard resets. Renews every Monday at 07.00 (UTC). More about this in its own post coming soon!
- 🎮 RT/LT Spin - New input option (for gamepads only) that overrides the classic "hold trick to change spin axis" behavior. Instead it maps the third spin axis to the triggers. This new spin method is enabled by default. The classic method can be enabled in the options menu.
- ☁️
Cross platform support for Steam Cloud. Save files should now sync between PC and Mac*
Changes:
- 🌱 Exposed seeds - Custom named mountains now also show their numerical seeds in the mountain generator list
- 👑 Zen PB - Your personal longest Zen ride is now shown in the main menu
- 🔮 New UI element for changing rider - Preparing for cool things to come
- 🔊 Labeled audio sliders
Fixes:
- 🐬 Flip bug - Doing flips while riding switch and holding trick will now boost your spin in the correct direction
- 📸 Attempt to fix a bug that caused game to crash on mac when taking a photo in photo mode. Not verified yet.
- ⛷️ High score rider data - fixed a bug where the wrong rider id was uploaded as part of the leaderboard meta data, causing a lot of leaderboard entries to have the monoskier stored as the record setting rider. Old leaderboard entries may still hold incorrect ids, but all future entries will be correct.
- 🎮⌨️ Optimized and more snappy detection of changed input
- 🅰️ Font size adjustments on the following UI elements: Challenger name, final score subtitle and "Stuck?" text
- 📖 Localization fixes and improvements - Improvement of Russian, and fixed a missing Turkish translation
*☁️ Steam Cloud Warning for Mac Users
Now that Steam Cloud supports cross platform saves, players who have been playing on both a PC and Mac should expect a message telling them their Steam Cloud is out of sync. Syncing it means choosing which one of your save files to keep, sacrificing the other in the process. I know a lot of people get attached to their skins, so if you don't want to lose them in the sync process, here's a couple of options:
- 🛌 Disable Steam Cloud for SNØ in the Steam game properties
- ⛷️ Make a note of all the skin seeds, and go claim them again! (Recommended option. This will unfortunately not work for your seasonal skins)
- 🧑🔬 Advanced option that will preserve even seasonal skins. Proceed with caution (I take no responsibility for any data loss caused by attempting this solution): Take a backup of the save file about to be sacrificed by the sync process (for good measure, I recommend you take a backup of your preferred save file as well). Download the SNØ Demo and disable Steam Cloud for it. Play the demo a couple of rounds, and the quit it. Now replace the SNØ Demo save file with backup you took of the save file about to be sacrificed. Now boot the full game. The full game should now have imported your old skins (thinking they are skins collected in the demo). Save file locations available in our FAQ. After completing this process, you can safely delete the Demo and its save file directories - The skins have been safely stored in your main save file.
I'm really sorry about this sync inconvenience. No matter how you choose to solve it (personally I recommend option 2) you don't have to worry about your global high scores. They are safe in the leaderboards!
EDIT: After hearing back from some mac users experiencing problems with Steam Cloud after enabling cross platform support, I have disabled it again. Major apologies to you if you experienced data loss. I will investigate what went wrong and make sure everything is set up correctly before a new attempt at enabling cross platform support.
Hope you like the changes. As always, if you encounter any more issues, please report them on our Discord or in the Steam forums!
Enjoy the first Peak of the Week(end)! See you on mountain #1670360843 🏔️✨
Best
