The 1.3.1 Hotfix is live!

NOTES

SORRY FOR THE TYPOS IN THE CHANGELOG!

THIS BUILD IS THE HEAVIEST BUILD I'VE RELEASED SO FAR!

LOWERING SHADOW QUALITY IS USUALLY THE FIX IF YOU HAVE PERFORMANCE ISSUES! OTHERWISE, TRY LOWERING OTHER VIDEO SETTINGS UNTIL YOU ARE AT YOUR DESIRED FRAMERATE! FATAL ERRORS ARE ALMOST ALWAYS RELATED TO PERFORMANCE ISSUES. IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING CRASHES TRY REDUCING YOUR GRAPHICS SETTINGS. IF THIS DOESN'T HELP, CONTACT ME WITH SOME REPRODUCTION STEPS AND I'LL GET IT RESOLVED ASAP! IF YOU ARE HOSTING A LISTEN SERVER (I.E. USING YOUR GAMING COMPUTER TO HOST A MATCH) AND IT KEEPS CRASHING, YOUR PC IS NOT POWERFUL ENOUGH TO HOST AND YOU WILL NEED TO WAIT UNTIL DEDICATED SERVERS ARE OUT. I'M NOT ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE WEBSITE AND SUPPORT CONTACT. IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES, PLEASE CONTACT ME AT fractuminnovations@gmail.com I'LL HAVE A NEW SOLUTION OUT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

KNOWN ISSUES:

For the moment, I am using text to speech for dialogue. I plan on replacing this as soon as possible.

Alt Tabbing will clear focus for your mouse. If you hold alt tab and double click on the game screen to return it will resolve the issue. I'll have this fixed as soon as possible, but it looks like it might be an engine issue from what I've seen on the forums.

Zombies are trying to walk into walls in the Quarantine level. I'll have this resolved in the next version.

Cinematics for the Research Center mission aren't firing. The mission is always way too short. I'll be updating this in the next few versions.

The Administration level is going to be completely revamped. It's way too small to fight in.

Body modifications are not showing up properly (this is why I added the coming soon screen in the customization menu).

Guide pictures are all displaying the raw meat icon for now. I'll have new pictures soon!

The guide panel (and some other menus) look a little weird. I'll be slowly adjusting these through the hotfixes.

AI movement can be a little weird inside of buildings. I'll be improving this over the next few updates.

Abilities are implemented, but they haven't been tested. There will probably be some issues with them.

Player profile icons aren't being saved right now.

Bullets are OP. This will be balanced over the next few updates.

The cloud sim/planet atmospheres look pretty bad. I'll have it fixed up when the other issues are cleaned up!
