The latest update for both PC and Mobile devices is now live. In this update we've included what was previously available in the "latest" branch on Steam as well as changes to the way we determine how your body and legs should rotate without the trackers. We feel these changes to the rotation provides a much better experience than what we had previously in place. Let us know your thoughts!
Full patch notes below.
VERSION 1.1.3133
Leg and body rotation is tied entirely to the headset, previously used both the controller position and the headset to determine rotation.
Body rotation is locked when a shot occurs or when the player is mostly down in the butterfly position. This allows the goaltender to look around without affecting the rotation of their body which was leading to frustrating and annoying goals.
VERSION 1.0.3121
We've provided the virtual targets the AI use for shooting a ranking. The AI should focus on the upper half of the net much more often than any of the targets at the bottom.
The difficulties control the chance the AI has at completing a one-timer successfully. This includes quick passes as well.
Fixed a bug in the replay that caused the goalie body to be incorrectly displayed.
Improved goalie body positioning with Vive trackers.
Added a new puck drop indicator that should hopefully make it more clear which shooter the puck will be dropped to.
First Update Available Under Betas!
Hello Hockey Fans!
We've just made our first VR only update available through the latest stream on Steam. In this build we've made some of the changes we've heard you requesting.
We've provided the virtual targets the AI use for shooting a ranking. The AI should focus on the upper half of the net much more often than any of the targets at the bottom.
The difficulties control the chance the AI has at completing a one-timer successfully. This includes quick passes as well.
Fixed a bug in the replay that caused the goalie body to be incorrectly displayed.
Improved goalie body positioning with Vive trackers.
Added a new puck drop indicator that should hopefully make it more clear which shooter the puck will be dropped to.
We've also heard you in regards to the pad position without the trackers. We're working to solve this in a way that feels natural and manages to keep the lower part of the net covered, even if you're watching the puck go by.
In order to apply these changes open your Steam library and right click on Goalie VR and select properties. Once the properties window is open find the "betas" tab and select "latest". This stream is incompatible with the mobile version. These updates will be made available to the mobile app as well next week, we just wanted to make sure that anyone playing with the AI could get these sooner while we wait for the mobile app stores to approve the latest version.
