v2020.06.12c

• Added custom radio station at fm 99.2, supports: ogg, wav, mp3
  you can enable it in the settings and either copy your music to
  c:/Users/yourname/Documents/TheLongDrive/CustomRadio/
  or set a different path which already has the music you want, it finds songs in subdirectories too.
  Keep in mind that mp3 loading is much slower compared to ogg, it can cause lag when a new song comes (even when the radios ingame are turned off, because of how the radio system works).
  You don't have to rename the files.
  
• Fixed settings not saving (hopefully)
  
• Fixed Reverse, Brake and Tail lights not behaving as intended
  
• Slightly decreased cleaning stuff spawn

This pic has nothing to do with this update, but looks nice.

Happy Friday Squaddies,

It’s been some time since the last Weekend Roundup, and it’s a short one I’m afraid, as we get back into the swing of things.

As a reminder for you all out there, if you do have any events in mind you would like featured in the Roundup, submit your event information through here for review to get those bullets flying in the future.

This weekend we are highlighting the signups for the 1v1 Squad PubStomp Tournament



This tournament is for any Squad clan/team member to be played as a 1v1 pub stomp style. The tournament will be held in a random single-elimination bracket format.

When two players are assigned to play each other they will queue into a pub match together and play in the same squad. Each player will try to get the most kills they can for two rounds. The players will have a three-day window to coordinate and play each match.

Sign-ups start today and end on Wednesday 6/17/2020 at 11:59 pm UTC. The first match three-day timer will start Thursday 6/18/2020 at 12:00 am UTC. For more information and the rules join the 1v1 Squad Match Discord.

Scanning… Hungry dragon detected!


This update consists of mostly behind the scenes changes along with a lot of prep work for 1.0. We’ll be posting a separate announcement about our roadmap very soon. To help us strike a balance between big changes and frequent updates, we’ve added Experimental mode for testing incomplete systems.The first experimental feature is a scanner with a flat display system we plan to adopt for all information (including Tabby). Please let us know what you think in our Discord. Also, Oculus Link now works with Steam, yay.

Experimental Mode

• New mode for testing things that aren’t fully integrated. This mode will change frequently as we test new things
  
• Currently only available in Beast Park after completing the Treasure Hunt and testing the Yellow Scanner.

Powers

• All powers now support toggle after a quick press to turn on. Double press to toggle has been removed.
  
• New Yellow Scanner gem that can be used to scan pets and objects to bring up a display with information.
  
• Activate the scanner, then point at a pet or object in range till the beam expands, then select with the button or trigger to bring up a display with some information.
  
• The scanner display will appear in front of your hand and can be grabbed to adjust it’s position.
  
• The scanner display will disappear after 15s or by pressing the scan button again.

Magical Tablet (Tabby)

• Added experimental mode to map modes.

General

• Fixed Oculus Quest support on Steam via Oculus Link.
  
• Steam accounts now default to Home on the main branch, though this can be changed under settings or by switching to the commercial branch.
  
• Improved analytics and event tracking.
  
• Untold number of bug fixes and performance improvements.

• Unique weapons & clothing have been added to the game. These are a new grade of very rare gear that have 4-5 fixed stat bonuses that roll in a very narrow range (IE 30-35% for most level 30 gear). There are around 50 to collect, and I have plans to add more over time.
  
  
• Prestige has been completely reworked. Now, instead of your level resetting back to 1, you simply need to gain 1.5m exp while at the level cap (30). In addition, you can keep earning Elite Enhancers even after you reach max prestige. All characters at Prestige 1 or over have now been set back to level 30.
  
  
• You can now sign up for a Gold Membership which gives all of your characters a boost to EXP and loot while turning their name Gold. In addition you'll receive 200+ credits for each month you subscribe.
  
  
• Comer and Sons is now harder (all zombies run) and is marked more clearly on the map. In addition, you now get all 3 boss loots in the final room, each with 5x higher elite and unique loots rate when compared with normal bosses. (Will take effect from reset tomorrow)
  
  
• All accounts now get one free stat reset.
  
• Walking while aiming no longer resets your crosshair.
  
• You can now perform all special moves without having the relevant skill.
  
• A new skill, Aim For the Heart has been added.
  
• Relics are now clearly marked and cannot be enhanced/traded.
  
• Number of trades for Elite and Unique items increased from 2 to 3.
  
• Equipment now has approixmately 2x higher scrap value.
  
• PvP Zones have been moved to be smaller and nearer outposts.
  
• Frequency of child spawns has been slightly reduced.
  
• Children no longer push you around =)
  
• Number of locked rooms in small buildings has been reduced.
  
• Number of locked rooms in large buildings has been increased.
  
• Thirst rate lowered.
  
• A visual bug with building/character name text has been fixed.
  
• Fixed a visual bug with burnt girl's hair.
  
• Reduced choir scream sound volume.
  
• Increased chainsaw sound volume.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused common items to appear in locked rooms.
  
• Fixed a lockpick chance display bug.
  
• Fixed another stash related bug.

NOTE: You will need to quit the game client and install the update on Steam before theses changes take effect. If the game fails to update, logging out of Steam and back in again usually does the trick.

We just released the launch trailer for The Raintime! It can be viewed here:

Hello all,

Excalibur Games and Toxic Dog are proud to present Ranch Simulator, an immersive renovation, farming and hunting game set in a remote forested valley, releasing early 2021 in Early Access for PC.

Builder. Farmer. Hunter. Trader. Ranching certainly isn’t your average job. Think you have the skills to turn your family’s rundown homestead into the most prosperous ranch in the valley? Then it’s time to head out into the wilderness in this captivating single and multiplayer open-world simulator.




It was once your grandfather’s pride-and-joy, but your family ranch has fallen on hard times and it’s up to you to turn things around. Sitting in a remote forested valley, the dilapidated homestead will test all your abilities as you attempt to turn it into the most prosperous ranch in the region – either alone or in up to four player co-op multiplayer.
