Game Update 2015031905

Features

  • NEW WEAPON – Improvised Machete – Made from whatever could be found on an interstellar prison ship, this savage weapon is a desperate weapon for desperate people. Replaces the longbow as the free drop pod weapon. Using the machete is not an easy job, and one that will cost you stamina.

  • Improved server list: now you can sort servers by ping, name and number of players. You also see in which country the host is. Improved “take all”-action in inventory: now it will auto-populate items into free equipment slots.
  • Redesigned the leaderboard view: you can now see which rank you have and how you score against your friends. Added number of kills leaderboards: in contrast to the score ones it doesn’t have an upper limit.
  • Added a new inventory slot (default key: 3) that takes small weapons such as the Machete and .44 Revolver

Changes

  • There are now fewer large ferns in some parts of the field areas to increase variation.
  • Updated vegetation and Dino rendering.
  • Tweaked water waves
  • Tweaked sniper scope texture
  • Tweaked volcano sound
  • You can now aim a bit higher and lower
  • Minimum spotting distance increased – this means less white outlines when being attacked by things like the velociraptor
  • The longbow is now available in the respawn store
  • Falling leaves from trees added in some areas which can be used to tell wind direction
  • Increased the default graphical settings in the Primal Launcher

Bug fixes

  • Fix for a crash when a player leaves exactly when he/she is going to respawn
  • Fix for tree trunks not being drawn correctly (the normal mapping was a bit broken)
  • Fix for server list not showing PVP server correctly.
  • Fix for the game crashing when harvesting Dinos and having very high Experience
  • Fixed some pathfinding issues around high cliffs close to the sea

In progress

  • Fine-tuning of colour, shine and shadow balance. More on this in the next updates.
