I Shall Remain - Hotfix 1.0.1
We've fixed a few smaller issues people were encountering but also few important ones about teammates not responding to commands and their firing rates.
But most importantly, we decreased the level of details for some of the default options. There have been complaints about the post process effects, sepia amount and dropped frames and this should allow people to enjoy the game by default without having to adjust the Options.
We apologies for anyone else who ran the game with them active by default and liked it, please go in the Options and re-enable them.
Changes:
- Sepia amount is 30% now by default (instead of 50%)
- V-Sync is enabled by default (in our tests it gave smoother performance)
- Motion Blur post process effect is disabled by default now (Post Process set to Medium)
- Shadowing options are set to High instead of Highest (will drop frames on some machines)
- Teammate AI regroup logic fixed (now it should work the way it was meant to)
- Prologue and Story starting map adjusted
- Knife Weapon is for sale in Upper East Side Safe now
- Adjusted Bullets and Men, NCO leadership training, Team combat drilling doctrines to reduce the teammates attack speed bonus
- NPCs that are hidden (ex: Chain) have their physics invalidated and they won't be taken into consideration for proximity (fixed reported issue)
- Screen fade out added (when the prologue and the story finish, there is a smooth fade out from the world).
- Change "Flamethrower fuel" with "Fuel" in inventory window.
- Adjusted window vertical scroll bar (the scroll bar is transparent now)
I Shall Remain - Release 1.0

I Shall Remain 0.9.3.7 Hot Fix
Thank you all again for playing and giving us feedback!
- Fixed screwed animations in Prologue/Survive when the player picked up the first weapon while running/walking
- Fixed the screwed animation with strafing right after putting down a barrel
- Fixed "buy more scraps than it suppose" issue
- New infected ragdolls have corrected starting positions
- Remove bazooka projectile info from main character and NPC inventory.
- We unload meshes (the ones that are not animated) and textures when we load a new map (will take a bit longer for the game to load but will have a steady memory consumption throughout the game session). This fixes some of the crashing issues. This should help with the overall performance of the game in later stages as well.
- Animation sliding removed when running diagonal (the character will turn to that direction if it doesn't attack). The same happens when we go backwards.
- Fixed crash in maps which used Defend the Area missions with the new unloading materials/meshes code
- Music for each map has a second delay so it won't pause (sounds ugly) until after the initial meshes load
- Trainer icons updated
- Fixed initial camera/player translation on map load (which made sometime the player to start from another place than the one it has been designed for that map). This might have created issues on low end machines or machines with bad hdd's or slow CPU's
- Adjust some of the QE names
- Do not show "Get available quests" button for Stanley
- Fixed all issues with non-generated tangents for newly loaded meshes (zombies, ragdolls, weapons, items)
- Possible fix for a crash that happen when a die effect (with animation) crashes
- SS officers respawn after a while
- Adjusted Dismiss tooltip.
- Correctly reloading flamethrower
- Adjusted Infection Kit's price.
- Walking speed increased a bit
- Baby aberration area adjusted so there's more space around it
- Shotgun animation replaced
- Fixed the last issues with unloading for meshes part of static geometries
- Fixed the issue with carrying barrels and screwed animation (finally)
- Main character turns in the diagonal direction when running
- Walking back and diagonal makes the character go diagonal as well
- achievements are not taken into account in Survive! game mode
- Adjusted Murthog and Gobber bosses
- Polish on how the music/background sound starts when we load a new map
- Made Unarmed doctrines learn-able by teammates (this wasn't active ever since we had the teammates not work with unarmed fighting)
- Shake hard when ram or marauder hits us
- Noise factor didn't applied for second controller when walking
- Small adjustment to how we update the camera in-game
- All resources now pre-load when the map starts and unload when exiting (there should be no frame drops with this and still keep the memory constant)
- Mutations values increased (to make them more prominent and important in late game)
- Aura/crowd distance increased based on infected type (normal, leader, boss - up to twice it was before)
- Maps adjustments
I Shall Remain release date

- Adjusted "Of bullets and men" doctrine
- Building foundations added to all buildings (when we are behind a building, the building is made transparent but its foundation doesn't)
- Fixed an issue with auto-equip button and teammates.
- Reduced snipe rifle range.
- Updated minimap for survival to take into account the new teammate buildings
- Base buildings only stay hidden until we show them once, then they will be shown at all times (because there is a delay from when we hide the building to showing the base and it looks bad if we do this each time we hide the building). Will see if we can improve this but should be fine
