WARNING: Terrain generation has changed to address issues listed below! If you load your game in a bad spot, select "Location Rescue" from the pause menu. You may need to set a new Backup location.
- Spawn point rework: should reduce bots ending up underground, especially around roads. Objects shall also be placed in better areas.
- Buildings: flattened areas around buildings & increased chances of them being properly populated.
- Pilot & vehicle improvements: you can now control ship speed by holding forward or backwards. Pilot skill points will now affect the ship's health and damage (subject to future balancing).
- Reworked how headquarter leaders are spawned: should be more reliable.
- Reduced weight of health & energy consumables.
- Tweaked skill explanations to be more informative.
- Surveyors will now continue to spawn late in the game, alongside Collectors. Collectors will no longer give conversion points.
- Items will drop to the ground after a headquarters building gets destroyed.
- Fixed ambient occlusion to be more consistent across different resolutions & in virtual reality.
- Updated LWJGL 3 / GLFW libraries (should fix a 32-bit error with glfw32.dll).
- Added a "no players created!" dialog when trying to join a multiplayer game with no saved players to join with.
- Fixed 2 rare crashes: one in TeslaCoil.canZap (seen on death) & during physics object creation for turrets.
- Fixed player not getting damaged from beams.
- Fixed vehicles flying off wildly when in virtual reality.
- Various small virtual reality improvements, like not blurring the menu when underwater or tweaks to the Vive weapon/hand pose.
There is a known "screen goes black" problem when playing in virtual reality, and I think it is related to the shadow effect after playing for awhile. If you have this problem, restart the game & disable the shadow effect. I'm hoping to find & fix this as quickly as possible...
Thank you again for your support & feedback!
EDIT: Small update on Windows today (2/26/2016) adjusts the launch script to better run on 32-bit machines.
