Build Notes for Version 1.52.10

Updates:

• Minor Improvements: Oculus Touch integration
  We have made a few slight adjustments to Nevermind’s Oculus Touch integration for an even more responsive experience.
  
  
• Minor Bug Fixes: Misc
  Several miscellaneous bug fixes have been made.
  

Ongoing Notes and Disclaimers:

• Performance: Adjusting as Needed
  Due to a recent engine upgrade, Nevermind may run more smoothly on some machines, while it may hitch a bit more on others. If you notice decreased performance, please consider lowering the screen resolution under Options>Graphics.
  
  
• Vive: Known Issues
  There are a couple of known issues with playing Nevermind on the Vive.
  
  1.) During some scene loads, the game will fade away and the standard SteamVR "VR Room" will briefly appear.
  
  2.) If you launch the game with both controllers on and then turn a controller off mid-game, you may experience odd behavior when interacting with an object. If this occurs, either turn the second controller back on and continue playing with it on OR quit the game and restart it with only one controller on.
  
  
• Camera-Based Technology: Optimal Conditions
  Camera-based technology such as Affdex or RealSense can be influenced by environmental conditions such as lighting, location relative to the player, and objects in the background. If your camera-based technology hasn’t initialized after a few minutes into the game, please try the following:
  
  >>>Double-check to ensure sure your camera technology has a good, centered view of your face. Once the technology has initialized, you can refine your positioning further in the Options>Input screen.
  
  >>>Adjust the lighting in your room. Medium-strength overhead lights tend to work well. Lighting originating from the same height as your face (such as from a desk lamp) can sometimes prove to be problematic - especially if it is reflecting off of something like glasses or if a strong light falls on only one side of your face.
  
  >>>Ensure there are no other infrared emitting devices in close proximity of the camera technology and that reflective surfaces in the background are minimized.
  
  
• Device Cross-Compatibility:
  Many of our devices are compatible with each other. However, some devices are mutually exclusive. Please visit www.nevermindgame.com/tech for the most up-to-date list of device cross-compatibility/incompatibility details.
  
  
• Windows 7 Support:
  Nevermind is playable on Windows 7, although it is not fully supported. Windows 7 users may experience some instability.
  
  
• Mio LINK Users:
  Mio Link Bluetooth connectivity works only on Windows 8, 8.1, and 10. To pair a Mio LINK with a Windows 7 machine, please use an ANT+ USB stick.
  
  
• Companion App:
  To support non-RealSense heart rate devices (e.g. The Mio, Garmin Chest Strap, etc.) on Windows 7, 8, 8.1, & 10 environments, Nevermind makes use of a small companion app called the Nevermind Heartrate Companion. This companion application is opened and closed by the game, and can be found as a taskbar icon next to the clock during play. This companion application uses network protocols to communicate with Nevermind. Because of this, the companion app may cause a security warning on Windows and/or some anti-virus software. We assure you this companion app is completely safe, and you can allow it access to the system's network. There are currently no plans or means to support Bluetooth heart rate devices on Windows 7.
  
  
• Note: Windows 32-bit
  Nevermind does not officially support Windows 32-bit machines. That said, we do try to ensure that the experience can run on 32-bit machines. If any Windows 32-bit players experience any instability after this update, please let us know. You can always email us at support@nevermindgame.com

Build Notes for Version 1.51 (just a couple of quick fixes)

Updates:

• Bug Fix: Vive Controller Pick-Up Object Rotation
  We resolved the previously mentioned bug in which rotating pick-up objects with the Vive controllers exhibited unusual behavior. Everything should be back to normal now.
  
  
• Improvement: Updated Mouse/Controller Sensitivity Slider
  We have improved the Mouse/Controller Sensitivity Slider so that the default setting feels a bit more standard.

Build Notes for Version 1.50.98

Updates:

• New Supported Sensor: Mionix Naos QG
  Nevermind now supports Mionix’s Naos QG! The Nevermind team has been excited about the Naos QG, a high-quality gaming mouse that reads heart rate, since their Kickstarter was funded. We are proud and excited to now be officially supporting it! More information about the Naos QG can be found here: mionix.net/product/naos-qg
  
  
• New VR Feature: Optional Non-Click Rotation
  Many of you have kindly requested a non-click rotation alternative to Nevermind’s default click-turn or full body movement in VR. We always appreciate feedback and are happy to say that Nevermind now offers the option for non-click rotation in Options>Input!
  
  Please note: While we are pleased to support this feature for players who prefer it, we do not necessarily recommend non-click rotation as it may feel uncomfortable to many players. If you are prone to VR sickness, we recommend playing with the default click-turn or full body movement.
  
  You can adjust the speed of the non-click rotation by adjusting the “Sensitivity” slider in Options>Input.
  
  
• Bug Fixes: Miscellaneous
  Several smaller bugs have been resolved throughout the game on all platforms. If you think you’ve found any bugs we have missed, please let us know at support@nevermindgame.com

Build Notes for Version 1.50.79

Updates:

• Bug Fix: Interaction Points / Alignment Issues on Vive
  The Vive-only issue regarding interaction points and alignment has been resolved. More information on this now-fixed bug can be found here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/342260/discussions/1/208684375433456030/
  
  
• Bug Fix: Touch Screen Devices
  A nasty bug preventing touch-screen players from interacting with the game has come to our attention and is now fixed with this update.
  

Ongoing Notes and Disclaimers:

• Performance: Adjusting as Needed
  Due to a recent engine upgrade, Nevermind may run more smoothly on some machines, while it may hitch a bit more on others. If you notice decreased performance, please consider lowering the resolution settings under Options>Graphics.
  
  
• Vive: Known Issues
  There are a couple of known issues with playing Nevermind on the Vive.
  
  1.) During some scene loads, the game will fade away and the standard SteamVR "VR Room" will briefly appear.

• New Sensor Coming Soon: Mionix Naos QG
  You may notice that the Mionix Naos QG is displayed in Options>Sensor. Nevermind doesn’t support the QG fully yet - but likely will in our next update!
  
  
• Camera-Based Technology: Optimal Conditions
  Camera-based technology such as Affdex or RealSense can be influenced by environmental conditions such as lighting, location relative to the player, and objects in the background. If your camera-based technology hasn’t initialized after a few minutes into the game, please try the following:
  
  >>>Double-check to ensure sure your camera technology has a good, centered view of your face. Once the technology has initialized, you can refine your positioning further in the Options>Input screen.
  
  >>>Adjust the lighting in your room. Medium-strength overhead lights tend to work well. Lighting originating from the same height as your face (such as from a desk lamp) can sometimes prove to be problematic - especially if it is reflecting off of something like glasses or if a strong light falls on only one side of your face.
