Version 0.9.7.4_6 - Stability Patch

This update is to address a bunch of stability issues that are affecting a wide range of players. Notably the voice chat issue that would cause players to crash when using open-mic should be resolved. We are going to keep an eye on the bug-reports, so please make sure to submit those if your game crashes as it helps us out tremendously.

Fixes:

  • Increased stability when transition between maps

  • Voice chat causing a crash with open mic when transitioning between maps

  • Closing the game while in a session would often cause a "steam64" crash

  • Affixer would cause players to get stuck in it when interacted with by another player as they were exiting the interface

  • Increased brightness would cause odd fading in/out after respawning

  • Incorrect active audio input device would be displayed in the audio settings

  • Performance optimizations in Ravenwood, Cedar, and Stone Manor

Changes:

  • Cellphone no longer flashes to complete darkness when near a hunting ghost, instead dims to half brightness

  • Initial setup durations have been adjusted per difficulty

    • Novice = 3 minutes

    • Intermediate = 2 minutes

    • Expert = 1 minute

    • Master = No setup time

  • Increased the Fast LOS speed slightly (Wewe Gombel and Wraith)

  • Loading screen visual refresh with new tooltips

  • Developer cash register furniture which grants visiting players that interact with it $2,000 and a 2XP ticket*

*Visit a developer lobby (labeled DEVELOPER in the session finder) and interact with the cash register to gain your reward. There is a 2-hour cooldown. When a developer lobby is open, there will be a global message in the text chat box. These lobbies will not be available too often, so get it while they're open!
