Version 2.17.2019 Performance and Content Update

A new map is here! Longhorn is now playable! Longhorn is a larger map for Paranormal Invasion that was requested by a player. The map includes a large open air-strip / miltary outpost in the middle of nowhere with an AKM Full Auto Sniper. I am looking for feedback or suggestions on this map. It has some room for improvments / additions so let me know! Other side notes: Press M to toggle the music and N to toggle Night Vision on the scope (there are keybindings as well)

Improvements

• Blind change to loading priority in an attempt to help people who are not providing any information on performance issues. (this basically slows loading down for low budget hardware)

• Optimized tree colliders (TH) to improve loading performance (Nice fps bump too)

• Updated Shadow settings for mountains (Performance Related)

• Added new "Very Low" quality setting - lots of downsampling, LOD decreases.

• Adjusted sampling for non-"High" settings

• Reflection probes will now disable on lower settings to prevent "vasaline effect"

• "Very High" settings no longer experimental

• Cleaned up some ragdoll issues with Skinwalker

• Skinwalker corpse will now shrink

• Added new Paranormal Invasion Map "Longhorn"

• Added AKM-S (Currently Longhorn only)

• Added "Chief Buffalo" artwork from one of the Testers (Longhorn Easter Egg).

• Fixed some minor AI issues

• Added music loop to Invasion (Turn off/on with "M")

Work In Progress:

• Hatchet Mountain development

• Developing deployable barbed wire... Went horribly wrong... Maps became filled with barbed wire with more than 2 people... Everything dies including players... Game breaking... Thinking about making it similar to a barricade instead of deployable

Known Issues:

• Key bindings in the controls do not show up on certain maps (workaround, change from main menu). This will be fixed in the next patch.

Performance Note: New low quality settings should work on really old hardware like 500 series cards. I am still not recommending them but if you want to do it go ahead! Please do not try to run the game on the higher settings (Very High / High) if you insist on playing on underspec hardware (try Medium / Low / Very Low).
