Movement and flying systems overhaul:
- Rewrite jetpack systems functionality for more realistic and accuracy flying.
- Automatic jetpack activation only enabled while close to ocean.
- Added gentle camera animation for flying and hovering with jetpack for more realism (If you get more motion sickness instead of less please report).
- Decreased gravity by 30% to help with motion sickness.
- Decreased walking speed by 20%.
- Updated regular and boosted jetpack speeds with extra animation for more realism and accuracy.
Graphics performance overhaul:
- Further performance improvements for shadows, foliage, water, rain, snow and textures. Game runs faster around 35-60% (depends of your pc hardware) compared to previous build.
- Weather performance overhaul including new weather types eg. Tornados, desert storm, tropical high humid and more.
Other fixes and improvements
- Fixed ocean waves sound effects
- Add more light during night when bad weather is present
- Added support for Steam VR including Valve Index (This still needs to be fully tested so please do not buy the game if you are Valve Index owner until its fully confirmed in the game requirements section for supported VR headsets)
Known issues and requests
- Game still does not support FSR or DLSS (game looks not as good as I want even on quality settings on AI upscale, need to sort that first - tested with AMD card with FSR. Will test DLSS with Nvidia soon)
- Pause menu only works on higher elevations, currently when you are too close to ocean or on lower elevation, VR cursor is not visible so hard to choose anything
- Jetpack boost with left grab trigger only works from flat surface or in the air
- Ocean waves on the shoreline not 100% accurate when game runs on lower resolution
- Floating islands not rendering correctly when flashlight is on during night
- Snow on the ground looks weird from the distance caused by snow trails feature. Snow trails currently disabled on some snowy mountains until fixed
- Some of the foliage and islands does not look right from the distance
- First island location where you start the game including mountains still needs more visual improvements for more realistic feeling
