Endorphin Vice changes
This update focuses on raw gameplay feel, physical realism, and fixing what wasn’t working.
Surface-Based Sliding (Real Physics)
Your slide now depends on surface angle, friction, and your actual speed. Steep surfaces = faster, longer slides.
Flat surfaces = controlled momentum.
And yes you can use weapons while sliding.
Throwable Knives & Axes
You can now throw knives and axes with ultra-realistic physics. Weight, rotation, velocity, and impact all matter. If a body is close and you press attack, the character will stab downward, pinning the weapon into the ground or target naturally. No scripted hits. Just physics.
Menu Redesign – Retro 95 Style
We changed the menu. Again. The modern UI wasn’t liked.
The basic UI wasn’t liked either. So we went retro. A 95–inspired style: simple, readable, fast, and functional. Sometimes old design just works better.
HUD Fixes Several HUD issues have been fixed, including alignment, scaling, and visibility problems reported by players.
Optimizations & Bug Fixes
Steam post image General performance optimizations. Physics stability improvements. Multiple bug fixes across gameplay and UI.
This update is large in size, but not because we added 10+ GB of new content.
The reason is a full recompilation of the game.
After many incremental updates, some players started experiencing persistent, hard-to-fix bugs caused by accumulated patch data. These issues couldn’t be reliably solved with small hotfixes anymore.
To fix this properly, we rebuilt the project from the ground up and forced a complete reinstall. This cleans out corrupted or conflicting files and ensures everyone is running the same, stable version of the game.
Yes, the download is heavy. But it was the only way to eliminate long-standing issues that were becoming unmanageable.
Once installed, the game should be more stable, cleaner, and smoother going forward.
