Comments
Winterlands map, unlike previous version will force a set of specific filters on/off unless you're in manga mode.
Left as it was in v1.45
VR:
In main menu, (online, arcade, flycam), VR enable button will appear if HMD is present.
Click to switch betwen VR and desktop mode. If HMD is off on start will switch to Desktop mode if it was in VR mode.
In the same menu, in VR mode, if press ESC, Open VR menu will display in the computer monitor (not in HMD). It allows to render at lower resolutions, should give you higher frame rate. Keep in mind that CPU can easily be the botleneck at the moment so lowering further the resolution will make no effect.
Face the HMD downwards to avoid clicking game menu buttons.
Be extremelly cautious increasing AI number in VR. 3-4 is recommended max. Depends a lot on your CPU hardware.
Winterlands works awesome in VR in terms of performance, the urban maps not so much due to higher acces to CPU due to high drawcall counts, the Oi-terminal still works pretty nice here.
In this release the draw distance in VR is changed depending on the scenario, in future an slider will be added to the menu.
This time, it has been possible to make the UI VR compatible without the need to duplicate the UI, this is a very very important achievement (from the devs point of view) that will reduce the maintenance of the VR and key for it to be part of the game as the resources must be put in othere areas.
Music
If you've custom music in music1 and music2 folders, before you update backup the folders as these will be overwritten, this was a design flaw, this will be solved.
Best.
