Team Junkfish

Ahoy there!

Firstly, we want to thank everyone who has been waiting for this hotfix since the August update. We recognize that a lot of unexpected issues arose, hardly any of which could be changed in a short time span. However, we are now much more confident in this version of the release.

The main point of focus for this patch was to do a pass on the game’s overall performance. There will still be some areas that will take a hit on fps that we are continuing to work on but there have been improvements all around that we feel were important to get out as soon as we could.

• High/Medium/Low will now have a greater impact on how the game will run on your machine. Low should now run a lot better and allow for more fps on lower end hardware.
  

• Enabling and disabling shadows should now have more impact on performance too as there were a few places where shadows were not toggling correctly
  

• Most of the lights in the game had performance passes applied to them.
  
• Volumetric lighting had a pass to reduce strength in certain areas
  

• Fixed an issue where playing as a Monster would perform significantly worse than as a Prisoner due to excess rendering
  
• Added a cooldown indicator to the Bhagra's swipe.
  

• Fuses should now no longer get players stuck when removing/inserting, especially those with a higher ping
  <*> Mouse Sensitivity slider now fixed with correct values
  <*> A prompt now displays if you have a full inventory but try to remove a fuse from a dispenser
  <*> Prisoner death animation fix for the player’s camera moving correctly when killed
