Hey everyone, we hope you are all enjoying update 0.5. We decided to shift our focus from multiplayer bug fixing and having that be our priority, to going ahead and finishing implementing the equipment that we have already creaeted with our new character controller. The halligan will help you force doors to gain entry to a building or room. The K12 saw will allow you to gain access to buildings with Roll down doors, cut window bars, cut locks, and perform ventilation. The water and CO2 extinguishers allow you to put out different types of fires whether they be chemical or just rubbish. We are very close to implementing the extinguishment of fires in an update and as most of you have requested this feature for a long time, it is now #1 on our list.
We are aware of those of you with Low End PCs having issues with very long loading times and terrible FPS. All we can tell you for now is to stick to the Fire Academy, upgrade your PC, or be patient while we look for more solutions to optimize the city scene. It is a very large and resource intensive map and has performance issues that come with it. We are constantly brainstorming on ways to improve those loading times and performance. We just ask for your patience and we hope the Fire Academy allows you to still enjoy the game, especially once we reimplement all of this equipment in the next update.
We have been all ears on your bug reports and suggestions and they are all added to our tasks lists. We want to again thank you all for the pateince and support through out our development and we hope you are all as excited for this next update as we are!
