Patch 1.085 Released

Chasm - Bit Kid

This update includes the latest FNA framework libraries and gamepad database.

I've also been made aware of new audio issues in Windows with popping, crackling and other strange artifacts. This is due to a recent change in Windows, and has made some trouble with SDL-based games like Chasm. A proper fix should be coming along, but this update contains an optional fix if you are experiencing this.

First, make sure you are on 1.085 since it is required (check in the main menu in the game if you are unsure). With the game closed, right click it in Steam and go to Properties. Under "Launch Options" paste in the following:

/audiodriver:wasapi

Please let me know if you have any trouble!

1.085
------------------
- updated game controller database
- updated to FNA 23.04

Update 0.7.32 (Beta)

subROV : Underwater Discoveries - sqr3lab

Hello subROVers!

This update revises the setup of all benthic (seafloor) creatures, fixing size inaccuracies and adjusting their setups (spawning points, speed, etc). We've also added a new creature, a Bassogigas gillii cusk eel, custom made using footage from from NOAA, which you can find in the certification 03 dive site.

(the link below takes you to the spot where the cusk eel shows up)

On top of that, we've made an optimization to the way in which waves are calculated and you might see a gain in performance, though we're still evaluating it.

Moving forward, we're working on another benthic creature, a Bigfin Squid (magnapinna), which is spectacular, alien-like, and a rare sight, and we're also updating the dives to follow the improvements made to 03. This should be the content of the following update, after which we'll focus on the new dive with the Hoel wreck.

Happy subROVving! 😁

Update 1.32 Patch Notes

Redmatch 2 - Rugbug Redfern

1.32.1 (April 5)

The Chainsaw hat will now have the spike speed affected by the slowdown at the end of a match
The vote ban settings can now be changed by me remotely so that I can tweak values without updating the game.
Reduced stuttering in the main menu caused by frequent checking of download progress and display of completion percentage for workshop items. More subscribed workshop items leads to more stuttering during the first few seconds after the menu loads due to numerous callbacks on download status from Steam. I might consider optimizing it later, but currently, it only affects players with more than a couple Resource Pack subscriptions and has minimal impact. Mostly this has just resulted in the realization that Steam callbacks are fairly expensive and should be used more sparingly.

1.32.2 (April 10)

Fixed the lag issues introduced in the 1.32.1 patch.
Increased the requirement of participation and vote percentage for vote bans to be successful, and increased the vote ban duration from 15 seconds to 25 seconds to hopefully get more responses.
