Mechanics Changes
Underwater Strafing Movement
+Added underwater strafing to all creatures. This allows moving sideways, up, down, backwards, or along any diagonal while orienting towards your camera look direction
+The default keybind for Use is now F, rather than Q
+Added new keybind, Strafe Left. This currently only works while swimming. It defaults to Q
-This is an optional keybind
+Added new keybind, Strafe Right. This currently only works while swimming. It defaults to E
-This is an optional keybind
+Added new keybind, Strafe On. This currently only works while swimming. It defaults to Middle Mouse Button
-This is an optional keybind
-While held, the other movement keys strafe instead of turn
+While strafing underwater, all creatures will now rotate on the roll and pitch angles if moving side to side, or backwards
Aquatic Sleeping
+Aquatics can now sleep. They can do so by pressing the rest key while swimming, and they will orient upwards and sleep like whales do!
-Krono, Elasmo, and Mosa now heal at the baseline "standing" rate while not asleep, and heal at the "sleeping" rate while sleeping
Incubated Buff
+Eggs now grow 50% faster if a group member sits or lays down on the eggs
-The players in the eggs receive an "Incubated" buff to indicate this status
General
+While darting, fish only get eaten while holding the use key
-If the use key was double tabbed to enter object pickup mode, they are now picked up rather than eaten while darting
-The use key also no longer stops movement while swimming unless you have a valid interaction target
+Crouched creatures no longer stress other creatures out and cause intimidation
+While in burrows, only burrowed creatures can stress you. While out of a burrow, only creatures outside of a burrow can stress you.
+Adjusted carcass scaling so hatchlings and juveniles grant less food than before
+Creatures can no longer drop more food on a carcass than the food they've eaten in their entire life, normalized across growth and size
Optimizations
+Integrated AMD FidelityFX(r) Super Resolution. You can enable this in the graphics settings.
-Enabling this feature allows the game to render at lower resolution and upscale at runtime to the target resolution (eg. 1920x1080).
-This helps improve performance for GPUs supporting it.
-This feature will be unavailable on unsupported GPUs, and the option greyed-out.
+Vastly improved/optimized the server-side save file load code so that in parses in seconds, rather than minutes, even on huge files
+Big burrow actors now hide if the player is not in a burrow
