Patch 2.4.526

• New weather systems

• New lighting/postprocessing systems

• New water systems and effects

• Wellness score readout to pause menu

CHANGED:

• Rain is now much more frequent

• Player animal names are now randomly generated by default

• Healing rate nerfed on normal and realistic difficulties

• Well-fed and hydrated individuals can now always avoid death by venom regardless of age

• Camera can no longer go underwater

• Dynamic spawns will now be better at focusing on their targets

• Dakotaraptor mated pairs remain in a group after children age up to juvenile

• Issue with keybindings not working on RPR

• Bug allowing Triceratops to roost their nests
