The Final Days v0.19 update is now out and ready for the holidays!
There's quite a few changes, but the main one is that Final Days now officially supports Steam Controllers! The config may still need some tweaking though, so let me know if you have any suggestions.
Here's a summary of the changes:
- Added official Steam Controller support.
- Frame rate and camera movement should now be much smoother.
- Added new "World Detail" graphics quality option which basically controls the maximum visible amount of debris and blood. The "Low" and "Medium" presets now have improved performance as a result.
- Changed the frame rate setting to now be part of advanced video options. The "High" and "Medium" presets use 60fps, and the "Low" preset uses 30fps.
- Spectator mode is now much smoother (particularly when there's a lot of enemies on screen, or when switching cameras on high latency connections).
- Made movement of off-screen players much smoother (no more jumping player labels).
- Gamepad controller: "RS-Click" now also opens/closes doors, and "X" now also cycles ammo types (the opposite direction to "Y").
- Can now display in-game help using a controller (instead of having to press "F1" on the keyboard).
- Improved appearance of help for Keyboard/Mouse and Steam Controller.
- Several improvements to the server browser.
- Added option to launch the dedicated server instead when starting a game.
- Multiplayer networking improvements.
- Several fixes and tweaks.
