PLEASE RELOAD STEAM & DOWNLOAD THE LATEST AMF VR UPDATE BEFORE PLAYING
DAY 3 after launch and here comes EA HOTFIX 3! Your game will update to Ver. 0.75. This can be seen in the server country selection menu bottom right corner.
We have been closely listening to the community regarding ways to make the AMF experience better and wanted to react to it quickly. One of the most asked for features by Oculus users is "Snap turning" due to many players only having 2 sensors.
Today, we are pleased to announce that Snap Turning is now available! Please use your RIGHT THUMBSTICK to turn, Enjoy and rack up those kills! ːsteamhappyː
Here is the quick start control guide for Oculus Touch:
EA HOTFIX 3
Added Snap turning for Oculus Users
Improved the set height function. Join / Host game will not load unless your height is correct to provide the best user experience.
Bot damage animation improved and Bots no longer clip into walls which was preventing them from getting shot.

Bots bugging out on Dock map fixed
Auto refresh function for games in play. No need to pound the refresh button anymore :)
Bug for not being able to exit the victory room on some maps fixed
Game guide updated to reflect the new Oculus Touch controls
We wanted to address a few common questions from new users:
FAQ:
Q1: Why is the menu always off screen or blocking my view?
A1: AMF has an intuitive Menu System.
Press the Menu button (Y or B on Oculus) on either controller to Open.
Hold down TRIGGER on the Globe to move Menu Location.
Q2: The background music is annoying
A2: You may turn off the background music in the in-game menu system under "BGM"
Q3: The Oculus controls don't seem to work
A3: The Oculus controls have been patched to match the Vive Controls. Please update the game to its' newest release, please see game guide for details: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1139258639
Q3: Why do I keep losing tracking when playing AMF using Oculus?
A4: Currently AMF only supports 360 tracking and 3 sensors are required. This is stated in the game requirements. for 2 sensor users we strongly recommend putting one sensor in the front and one in the back, we plan to add snap turning in a future update.

Patch Notes for Upcoming BETA Weekend 6 - BOTS ADDED!!
These are the current fixes and updates for upcoming BETA Weekend 6, we are still working on some additions:
New Feature:
Added AI Bots (Version 0.10) - Due to popular demand through the survey results, bots was the top requested feature you wanted included in AMF, so here you go!
The team has worked hard this week and pleased to deliver the brand new Bots playmode as promised (Early Version). Please note this is nowhere near finished and just the beginning! :)
How to start a BOT game:
1) Start a game using the “Classic” (All Weapons) Game play mode with 2, 4, 6 or 8 players either TDM or DM
2) Bots will spawn accordingly once the game starts by pulling both triggers with the menu open. Players are still free to chat and wait for other players without the bots before then.
3) If a new player hops into the server, one of the bots will be replaced.
Current limitations:
Bots are currently available on ALL maps except for Dock, Ruins and Dugouts.
Bots are currently available in Classic mode only (not available for Pistol / Knife / Knife only modes)
Bots’ kill score will not show on the Scoreboard, only players’ scores will show
The difficulty level is set to “Standard”, different levels will be coming soon.
Look forward to more bot features as we continue to make the game better!
Framework:
Further increased network stability for login and reduced chance of dropout during games
Fixed Respawning issue in Prison and Dock maps
Blood Effects Increased
Fixed some movement animations
Enjoy!
