Changes

  • Added the "Mirage" mission.

  • Added the "The Grid" mission.

  • Added the "The Flux" mission.

  • Abbreviated and edited dialogue in the "Back in the Saddle" mission.

  • Completing the "Back in the Saddle" mission will now assign the "Mirage" mission.

  • W.A.V.E. Grid nodes can now only be purchased from A.Q.U.A. Base after the "The Grid" mission has been assigned.

  • When new objectives are assigned, they will now appear as messages on the HUD.

  • Several HUD messages and triggers have been retimed to avoid stacking several messages at once.

  • Reduced the default amount of starting cash for better game balance.

  • Added several more hydrothermal vent sites near A.Q.U.A. Base.

  • Glass on the dive pod is now dirtier when in VR for improved comfort.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where collecting an item and then exiting immediately could leave the game save in a broken state.

  • Added an integrity check at startup to verify mission assignments and completions.

  • Fixed an issue where visual sonar objects would not highlight properly.

  • Fixed an issue in the "Genesis" mission where doors may be open by default instead of closed.

  • Fixed an issue in the "Genesis" mission where an objective was issued incorrectly.

Known Issues

  • There's no way to gracefully quit the application. Use Alt+F4 on Windows for now.

  • There's no options menu. This will be added over time.

  • SteamVR integration is not complete, and could cause issues with the HTC Vive. Results may vary.

  • The fade in and out on the main menu sometimes freezes while using a VR headset.

  • Activating a boost and then docking will put the player in a strange location.

  • Boosts sometimes stop abruptly.

  • Collectible objects and dive pod upgrades still need to be rebalanced. Currently most players are able to purchase all the upgrades without much of a challenge.
