We’re in our second week of Early Access and have a bunch more changes to hopefully improve your experience playing Fractured Lands! If you gave the game a try on day one, there’s much that’s being done to optimize the game and give you each round added personality that’s distinctly apocalyptic.
We’re hoping to do one more update this week as well, so if you don’t see your oft-requested item on the list below, there’s still much we’re working to modify as we move through this early period of release.
On to the notes!
Crash Fixes:
- Fix crash encountered rarely when using health restoration items

- Reduce issues related to unexpected vehicle/ground collision (vehicles clipping landscape)
- Addressed issue where equipped melee item appears in player leg on Character Front End screen

- Revised audio files for male and female genders
- Reduced audio application frequency

Previously unpublished change from v.0.1.0.1:
- Adjusted Razorback in-air direction functions:
- While in-air, the Razorback can now nose down by letting go of the accelerate button and pressing it again
- While in-air, the Razorback can now nose up by letting go of the decelerate button and pressing it again
You might notice a new option at the end there. We neglected to tell you about a control change for the Razorback that we felt needed to be explained. We also included some screenshots with this patch to help illustrate some of the recent changes since many of them were visual.
The patch should be going live today at 5pm PDT so check it out and let us know if you have any feedback for the above changes.
You got blood on my computer screen!
