Hey friends!

This update should fix the video crash issue that some players were experiencing, as well as a bunch of bugs that were reported by you guys. Thanks!

Also, we saw the comments about wanting to play fullscreen! Although there is no menu option, it IS supported. On Windows use Alt+Enter to switch between windowed and fullscreen! On Mac it should be Command+Control+F. (This will work with most games as well!)

Thanks again!

Update 5.2.1 is available (~50mo)

-> New Content on the Dictator role (New unreleased ability)
-> Modified Mira Challenger (Added new areas / Vitals / Camera Drone)
-> Some Bug Fixes
-> Added new free cosmetics.
-> Updated Launcher & Game Servers.

The Main-Menu Settings now feature 2 new settings:

- Auto-Cast Spells: Enabling this option wil automatically cast all your spells on cooldown.

- Auto-Target Nearest Enemy: Enabling this option will disable Character-Rotation towards the mousecursor and instead always focus the closest enemy. Spells and Autoattacks will automatically aim into view-direction. Please note, enabling this option may negatively impact performance!


Please note, that these settings cannot be changed during a match.

Every day I do polishing with being surprised by the bugs I made before. I'm trying to end the polishing in March. After that, I would start translation, VO, and the most enjoyable tasks like keybindings, achievements, etc. I'm aiming to release this in June for now.

- Bug fixes and other improvements

Thank you everyone for playing reporting bugs, if you encountered any - here's the next set of fixes!

Patch notes:
- Added the ability to delete your savegame from MainMenu->Options->Game Settings
- Improved performance in final level
- More minor bugfixes

This update does the following....

1. Retextures the Norway terrain using something approaching "Satellite" imagery rather than the more abstract textures I was using before. The result is something far closer to what the island actually looks like in real life.

For those who want to cross reference the island it is here...

2. Added a new ground texture under where trees appear

3. Improved the snow textures

4. Tweaked a few of the terrain splat mapping parameters so that things like rocks now peak out from beneath snow/grass on steep slopes and grass itself grows a little higher up the mountains on the flatter parts.

5. Desaturated the trees a little to make them blend a little better.

6. Fixed FPS drop when zooming the camera in - this is actually a major fix as I was limited on how much of a zoom a camera could have because the more the camera zoomed the lower your FPS would go. This now fixes the Unity terrain error that causes this and any FPS drop should now be minimal.

This also allows me to set different camera zoom levels for different helicopters with the possibility of more advanced helicopters having better camera zoom levels.

NEW FEATURE
.sounds and music are paused when the engine loose focus
.put back the impact particle effect when a bullet dies after its life is complete

BUG FIXES:
.first particle timing fixed
.camera shake could create wrong collisions
.laser and particle impact could create black squares during one frame
.particle locators for enemies were started even if the enemy was inactive
.player homing bullets now don't follow enemies with Collisions with player bullets disabled
.scores animation at the end of a game now takes the same time regardless of the score amount
.removed the default impact sound played when a bullet collided with the player, even with "none" for bullet impact
.Gauge/enemies no shoot also prevented the player to shoot a laser (regression)

NOTE: there is a variable in the .game file to get rid of the bullet end-of-life particle effect: just set PlayerDeadAfterLifeSpwanSfx to "false".
