• NEW FEATURE: Field of View slider in the Visual Settings tab that allows you to set the player FOV from 70 to 110 degrees (default is 90).
  
  
• Added the new real AK-47 SFX into the game. Let me know how you like it.
  
  
• Reduced the volume of enemy weapon SFX at range. Previously it didn't start dropping off till about 60 meters, now it drops off any point past 10 meters.
  
  
• Reduced all gun recoil amounts. Some are reduced as much as half, others around 10-40% lower.
  
  
• Greatly reduced the range you can hear bullet impact SFX from. Was about 100 meters, not about 20 meters.
  
  
• Now the invert mouse feature affects the cameras in the boat and humvee. Wasn't sure what to do with the camera for the heli since it's already inverted and tied to the controls.
  
  
• Nested the weapon code and did some cleanup that should very slightly improve performance.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where enemy AI might lose track of you, particularly in a vehicle, even if you were right in front of them.
  
  
• Fixed a bug where you could hear a rattle sound if you walked while entering a humvee.
  
  
• Fixed a possible issue where it may be possible to drown while in a boat, even while it's about the surface of the water.
  
  
• Fixed a bug where you could hear a rattle sound if you walked while entering a helicopter.
  
  
• Reduced the walk rattle volume by about 40%, hopefully it's less annoying now.
  
  
• Fixed various tree collision assets.

• NEW CRAFTABLE ITEM: Marker Flags. These can be crafted with 10 rags and 1 scrap metal. They let you mark locations in the world space. Put this together with a POI marker on your map and it will help prevent you from going in circles.
  
  
• Added a second page to the key binding settings. Now you can change the holster/draw buttons, the quick map button, and WASD. The invert mouse tickbox has also been moved there.
  
  
• Added Scrap Metal to save game code, previously it didn't get saved/load correctly.
  
  
• Did some spring cleaning and cut about 0.7GB of size off of the game, now about 20.9GB instead of 21.6.
  
  
• The APC will no longer fire at you forever once sighting you. It will lose track of you when you leave it's LOS.
  
  
• Fixed the position of the lower ladder in the tree fort so you can now actually use it.
  
  
• Fixed the collision on one type of the Kapok tree. Previously you could walk through it, more or less.
  
  
• Prevented the player from picking up items while aiming down the sights, this could cause a host of issues.
  
  
• Fixed the AK-47 sound, it was only playing one of five sounds with slight variance (mostly to add variety in full auto fire).
  

Change Log:

• NEW CRAFTABLE ITEM: The Water Catcher. Now you can harness some of that endless tropical rain and collect clean water. The water catcher can hold up to 2 liters of clean water, enough to refill 4 bottles/canteens. Or you can drink direct from it. Be warned that the last 1L of water collected in the cone can evaporate over time.
  
  
• The chance of weather turning rainy is now roughly halved.
  
  
• Greatly improved the 3D scope resolution from 256 to 1024, should be a lot less blurry now. Let me know if it needs to be bumped even farther.
  
  
• You can now "crouch sprint".
  
  
• Increased sprint speed permanently by 10%. Also there is now a system that adds another 0-30% to your sprint speed depending on how much gear you're carrying. Hopefully this helps get rid of some of the walking simulator feeling.
  
  
• Fixed a bug that prevented the bird chirps audio from being affected by the ambient audio slider. Now bird chirps will scale in volume with the slider, as they should. You're welcome all you Youtubers who lower the ambient SFX by large amounts.
  
  
• Fixed a bug where stuff stored in ammo cases wouldn't be saved.
  
  
• Adjusted sleeping drain amounts depending on difficulty. Previously the loss of hydration and calories was the same regardless of difficulty, now it is 60% on Easy and 140% on Hard.
  
  
• Added far more banana trees and greatly increased the time it takes to respawn bananas.
  
  
• Fixed the female shopkeeper ragdoll collisions.
  
  
• Added a couple more gas jerrycans to the level.
  
  
• Disabled the walk rattle SFX when you enter a vehicle while walking, particularly boats.
  
  
• The campfire cooking SFX will now only play if the fire is actually burning, before it'd play no matter what if you added meat.
  
  
• Fixed the puking line trace being visible when you got too sick.
  
  
• Added air control back into the game. No not that terrible Greenlight game, the ability to move your character when jumping and standing still. While not exactly realistic, disabling it made jumping up onto some objects difficult.
  
  
• Put the old jumping animation back in for now. The unarmed one made me sick to look at, I'd rather have his hands look like he's holding a rifle.

• NEW ENEMY: the Light Armored Vehicle (LAV). This one is not very friendly and you'll want an RPG with a couple rockets to take it out. Aim for the rear if you can, or the sides if not. The front is well armored. As usual, you'll need to start a new save game to encounter this beauty.
  
  
  
  
• NEW FEATURE: A 3D scope effect for the sniper rifle that only zooms the sight picture in, not the entire screen. I do zoom the screen a bit still to let you focus on the scope picture, especially if you hold shift. It's a little blurry and may have some issues, but seems to work okay so far.
  
  
  
  
• Fixed a bug where sometimes the lock picking mini-game wouldn't initiate even though the door was still locked. If you use a door it should always do something, please report if you see otherwise.
  
  
• Made it SIGNIFICANTLY easier to shoot door handles to open doors. Higher caliber weapons are certain to destroy the handle with one hit, and mid or low caliber weapons now have roughly 3x the chance of success.
  
  
• Disabled the AI processing for the shopkeepers at a distance, should save a couple FPS for the CPU.
  
  
• Added warning messages when you pass out/puke/start dying from dehydration, exhaustion, lack of calories, etc.
  
  
• Fixed a bug where RPG back-blasts would injure you if you fired while in a bush or near a similar object that shouldn't deflect the blast enough to hurt you.
  
  
• Updated the M4A1 to the new fire mode select system.
  
  
• Changed the M2 Browning .50 Caliber firing sound effect.
  
  
• The game now starts in a 800x600 resolution for the first time. While most people have 1920x1080 resolution or larger, some do not and this meant certain people had to go into their Appdata folder and configure the Game.ini file manually to set the resolution. If you've played the game before and already set the resolution, this shouldn't affect you.
  
  
• Relocated a couple diamonds to more sneaky hidden locations.
  

Change Log

• Weapon firemode change animations and sound effects completely reworked. Much more realistic anims and sound effects. There are different SFX for fully automatic and semi automatic (2 clicks for full auto, one for semi). On top of that, the SFX are no longer 2D and are affected by environmental attenuation.
  
  
• Boat now reverses in the proper direction and can't turn while not moving.
  
  
• Fixed a bug where people with VR headsets would have SteamVR start up with the game despite the fact that the project doesn't support or utilize VR in any way.
  
  
• Added an icon for the Ammo Case in the inventory screens.
  
  
• Added a lot more attenuation and distance to the initial village attack audio to make it sound a lot better and more realistically far away.
  
  
• Replaced the old pickup item SFX with a 3 randomly selected SFX that sound a lot less placeholder. They also are now spawned sounds instead of 2D UI sounds, so they should be affected by attentuation and pause if you pause the game.

• NEW ITEM: The Ammo Case. The ammo case is your typical small green metal case. It takes a large item slot, or can be carried in your hands. It's water tight and will even float if you drop it in the ocean. This lets you retrieve it with a boat, if this should happen. It allows you six more slots, meaning a potential maximum of 24 small slots, if you have two ammo cases. Of course, this will leave you rather defenseless and unable to swim or climb ladders, but it is good for transporting items in bulk, such as when moving your safehouse. See the pictures below.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Please note that all new item additions require a new game start to appear in the world. Your old saves will still work fine, but the world will not be populated with the new items until you start a new game.
  
  
• You can now pick up items in the water. Big items still can't be picked up while swimming, though, so be sure to holster your large items before going cliff diving. This change may let AI see you too easily in the water, so let me know if this is an issue.
  
  
• There is now a "quick map" function that allows you to access a map in your inventory by pressing the M key (currently not rebindable). It lets you see the map and move around at the same time. However, to place or edit POI's, you still need to access the map by going into your inventory and using the map item the old way.
  
  
• Added in warning messages letting people know that you cannot climb ladders or swim with items in your hands, hopefully this helps clear up confusing regarding this mechanic.
  
  
• Fixed clipping issues where you could fall through and get stuck in a cliff at: -204369, -254192, 1125 and 303504, 314848, 1453.
  
  
• The early access intro message should now only show once now per play session, at the very most. If you're loading a save it shouldn't show at all, this is for people who die during a new game and have to endure it after each new game restart.
  
  
• Bumped the new game start time up even farther to 7am instead of 6:30am.
  
  
• Lightened the grass texture up a fair bit. Keep in mind it'll still be dark if it's covered by a shadow.
  
  
• Tweaked the drowning function so it now applies damage every 7 seconds instead of 5, also your lungs now get refilled as soon as you surface, instead of taking 20-30 seconds.

• NEW ITEM: Sleeping Bag. This allows you to sleep (and save your game) at any point, as long as there are no hostiles within the area. However, it is large and will either need to be put in your holster slot, in a vehicle's inventory, or carried in your hands. Plaing on HARD mode will remove all sleeping bags from the game.
  
  
• To help new players get into the game faster, there is now a boat that can spawn at a dock on the first island, when playing on Easy
  
  
• The diesel jerrycan in the first hut with the shotgunner was replaced with a gasoline jerrycan.
  
  
• Replaced the avgas jerrycan in the boathouse on Ricketts Island with a gasoline jerrycan.
  
  
• Added a new shack near the middle of Ricketts Island.
  
  
• Please note that all the above item placement tweaks and additions require a new game start to appear in the world. Your old saves will still work fine, but the world will not be populated with the new items until you start a new game.
  
  
• Slightly decreased the ability of AI to spot you hiding in bushes. Please report back on whether they are now too blind or still have too much xray vision. Also keep in mind that they can hear you if they're close enough and you're moving.
  
  
• The compass needle is now two-toned so people can tell which way is north easier (the red end with the arrow on it).
  
  
• Added an invert mouse option in the Key Bindings page. This will be relocated at some point.
  
  
• The torch now plays the match light SFX instead of the flashlight SFX when lighting it.
  
  
• I tweaked the torch position in the player's hands, it shouldn't clip with his leg when walking anymore.
  
  
• Using a match in the inventory now lights nearby torches as well as nearby campfires. Before you had to use the L button to light a torch.
  
  
• Reduced the pickup SFX to 60% of it's old volume.
  
  
• Lockpicking now has a reminder at the bottom to let people know they can press E to exit the lockpick sequence.
  
  
• Opening a door with a key now plays an unlock SFX and displays a notice to let you know the door was unlocked with a key.
  
  
• Exiting the water while sprinting no longer plays the "sprinting with a pistol animation" and plays the appropriate "sprint unarmed anim".
  
  
• Tried adding an unarmed jump animation to replace the rifle jump animation that always used to play. I think it's honestly worse, but we'll see what people say!
  
  
• Entering water while crouched no longer lets you crouch walk on the water like some sort of African jesus.
  
  
• Added on screen messages for trying to pickup an item when your backpack is full.
  
  
• Fixed a bug where some people got stuck in the cave on the first island, there's now a ramp to get out.
  
  
• Added on screen messages for when you burn meat at the campfire, or try to cook when you don't have any raw meat.
  
  
• New games now start at 6:30am instead of 5:30am. People were saying it was too dark, but I still want people to have a full day to find a safehouse.
