WILDSITE: Demo v0.512.19

We are excited to roll out a major stability and quality-of-life patch focused on improving performance across the board and making huge strides toward full Steam Deck compatibility.

We've tackled numerous bugs and added features that should make your survival a bit less frustrating

BOB: Attention. I have implemented a large volume of code changes. This should drastically reduce your opportunities to blame the system for your own failures.

🆕 What's New: 🆕

* Camera and player movement redesigned to feat controller use

* Removed death animations on animals

* Added new destroy effect on animals death

* Added overheating chance on Multitool and plasma/laser weapons

* Warning messages now make a sound and stay longer on the screen

* UI redesign on Level up and Quest completed

* Added general controller compatibility

* Added Steam Deck controller compatibility

* Added drag and drop functionality (from touchscreen) to Steam Deck

* Added Wishlist button on menus, and a new quit game message

🫣 Fixes: 🫣

* Fixed a bug that led to UI->Resolutions dropdown having none or few options

* Fixed loading screen on "Back to menu" button

* Fixed enemies awareness level when shooting with plasma bullets from afar (> 15m)

* Fixed Ui->Settings for 16:10 resolution ratio

* Fixed a bug when dropping Silica, Iron and Coal would spawn Gold $$

* Fixed a memory leak made by AI that lead to performance lost and sometimes game freezing for 0.2 seconds

* Fixed visual artifacts that appeared on rocks or terrain

🐛 Known bugs (working on them): 🐛

* River textures are visible at night

* Steam Deck: drag and drop now works only from touchscreen (controller shortcut B + A on controller for now)

* Controller: some UI elements can't be used with a controller or are difficult to navigate to them (work in progress)

Future Steam Deck Improvements

We are committed to make the Steam Deck experience seamless (but this takes time):

UI: We are working to improve the UI experience on the Steam Deck and any controller (right now some elements still require touchpad or are difficult to navigate to them)

Performance: Every patch will include targeted performance boosts to maintain high frame rates on Steam Deck or low-performance PCs

Thank you for your patience!

Cheers,
