Version: v0.641
SteambuildID: 3829759
Client patch size: ~350 MB
- FOV Slider to change the field of view
- Spectator camera improvements
- General bug fixes
FOV Slider
- Added possibility to set a different horizontal field of view from 85° (default) to 110° in the Game Options tab.
Hunter
- Adjustments to interactions with world items: Reduced the total time necessary to pick up lanterns, hammers, axes and bear traps. (total time until player can use a world item is reduced from 0.7-0.8 seconds to 0.45 seconds.)
- Revive interaction will now pause burning damage and completely remove the burning status if he is not lying in a fire zone anymore.
- Improved the outline of your team-mate to be more visible across different times of day.
World
- Further tweaks to the activation range of crows and ducks.
Spectator Camera
- Spectated player's name, rank and prestige will be displayed in the lower right of your screen.
- Mission logic (closed rifts etc.) will now be displayed through the eyes of the spectated player. This is the first of many changes to make the spectator mode more accurate. We currently have a bug in version v0.631 that on switching spectator with F8 or F9, the map also opens/closes. Press Escape to close it.
Audio
Developer Note:
One of the things we're excited about is that Hunt: Showdown uses Binaural Audio. All you need is a pair of stereo headphones to allow you to accurately tell where monsters and enemies are in 3D space. That's why we recommend to play with your headphones in stereo, but our spatialization solution also supports surround speaker setups like 5.1 and 7.1.
Sometimes a mismatch between your system setup and speaker settings can occur, resulting audio appearing to be missing.
For example, if the game is providing output in 5.1, and you are listening with stereo headphones, you will only hear things from front-left and front-right speakers. All the audio information from center and rear speakers is lost in this case, as it is sent to an output channel which you don't physically listen to. Therefore, in any case, please always check if your soundcard settings match your monitoring device to guarantee the best possible experience. We hope you like it as much as we do!
