Build Notes for Version 0.03.39

• Bug fix: Client #418 Non-Progression Bug
  The bug in Client# 418 (mentioned in our 7/23 announcement) has now been fixed.
  
  
• New Controller: Xbox One Controller Support
  Nevermind now supports the Xbox One controller. We will be adding more supported controllers in the coming weeks. Keep an eye out for a survey about which controllers YOU would like for us to support!
  
  
• Overall Improvements: More Reliable Controller Support
  We have fixed several bugs specific to playing Nevermind with an Xbox 360 controller.
  
  
• General Improvements:
  Performance optimizations, visual upgrades, and general bug fixes have been made throughout the game. Major performance upgrades will be coming soon!
  

• Nevermind is an Early Access game:
  Nevermind is still in development and you may experience bugs or performance issues that we will continue to iron out as development continues. All content is still a work-in-progress. If you have feedback, please let us know via the Steam Community Page Discussions.
  
  
• Bug alert: Choppiness in the opening area of the IntroSim (Mac Users)
  Some Mac users may experience increased choppiness in the opening “cottage” area of the IntroSim. We are currently investigating the cause of this and hope to have it resolved soon. If the choppiness becomes too annoying, please consider turning your Render Settings to “Medium.” You can do so by going to Options/Graphics. The opening area of the IntroSim is the only area within the game where this issue should exist.
  
  
• Bug alert: Mouse movement counts as a “button” press on skippable screens
  During screens that can be skipped with a button press, moving the mouse (even just a little) will cause the screen to skip. We’re hoping to have this fixed for the next update.
  
  
• 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:
  Bluetooth connectivity currently works only on Windows 8. At this time, the Mio Link is the only sensor that uses Bluetooth connectivity. 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, and 8.1 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. OS X Bluetooth support is planned for a future Early Access update.
  
  
• Companion App Known Issue:
  There is a small known issue where the Nevermind Heartrate Companion will sometimes not quit along with Nevermind, due to a failure in network communication between the two applications. If this occurs, you can close the companion application manually by right-clicking on its taskbar icon and selecting "Quit" from the context menu.
  
  
• Bug alert: Performance
  Performance may be particularly laggy on machines that run closer to our min specs. We will be continuing our ongoing optimization efforts and intend for future builds to run much more smoothly.
  
  
• Fear UI:
  To see an on-screen indicator of your “fear level,” go into the Options menu and select “Fear UI On.” (Note: option only appears if playing with a supported biofeedback sensor).
  
  
• First Person Control Familiarity:
  Nevermind uses standard “first person” controls (WASD/arrows and mouse). Familiarity with this control scheme is recommended.
  

Build Notes for Version 0.03.07

• 32-Bit Functionality Returns
  We have made several updates that have returned 32-bit functionality to Nevermind. While we won’t be officially supporting it, we will do everything we can to keep the 32-bit experience as close to the main 64-bit experience. We will be relying on you, our players, to let us know if you find any issues within the 32-bit version. If you do, let us know via the Community Page Discussions or reach out to us directly to support@nevermindgame.com !

The opening area of the IntroSim is the only area within the game where this issue should exist.

  We have continued to tune and refine the biofeedback “stress static.” Let us know what you think of its new look!

• Compatibility alert: Temporary 32-Bit Incompatibility
  This version of Nevermind only runs on 64-bit systems. We are currently investigating options for making a 32-bit version available in the near future. We will not be officially supporting the 32-bit Nevermind, but will make every effort to maintain a version that is as functionally close to the 64-bit version as possible.

Build Notes for Version v 0.02.89

• ANT+ Support for Windows 7 has Returned!
  In our 6/29/15 update, we had to deprecate Win 7 sensor support due to an overall upgrade to the game that conflicted with Win 7 ANT+ support. While we had originally thought that there was, unfortunately, nothing that could be done to support ANT+ sensors with Windows 7, we have since found a solution and have implemented it into the game. This update should return Win 7 ANT+ functionality to Nevermind. If you run into any issues with using your ANT+ device while playing Nevermind on Win 7, please email us at support@nevermindgame.com.

Build Notes for Version v 0.02.75

In the future, Neuromapping will be active regardless of where you select “Activate Imprint.” See Build notes for Version 0.02.74 for more details on the Neuromapping feature.

Build Notes for Version v 0.02.74

• New Feature: Localized Languages! (beta) Nevermind now has beta support for ten new languages: Spanish, French, German, Italian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Russian. Languages can be set in the Nevermind options menu. If you notice any errors in translation, please let us know via the Steam Community Page Discussions.
  
  
• New Feature: Partial Controller Support! Nevermind now supports a standard Microsoft Xbox USB controller. Although you will still need to use a keyboard and mouse to enter your name during the initial registration process, after that point, the rest of the game can be played entirely with an Xbox Controller. We are still looking into expanding the range of controllers that Nevermind will support.
  
  
• New Feature: Neuromapping! After the memory of a traumatic experience has been released, return to the client’s mindscape to explore and find additional information relevant to the trauma. The Neuromapping feature can be accessed through the “Advanced Neuroprobing” option in the Client Selection Screen.
  
  
• New Content: New Voiceover Audio! New professional voiceover audio is now available in the IntroSim level (both the Client and Guide).
  
  
• New Content: Handbook! All Handbook Text (accessed via the Office Computer or the Pause Menu) is in a more fully realized state.
  
  
• Update: Fear Static! In an effort to find the perfect balance for the “fear static,” we have been experimenting with different visual representations. This build features a drastically different visual style for the static. Let us know what you think!
  
  
• Update: Unity 5 Upgrade! We have upgraded to Unity 5 and have been continuing to iterate on existing content. As such, visual improvements can be found throughout the game.
  
  
• Update: IntroSim! “TrainSim” level is now called “IntroSim” to better reflect its purpose as an introductory, simulated client.
  
  
• Key bug fix: Entering into fullscreen mode in the Mac version no longer causes a crash. We are also optimistic that many of the Mac OS Yosemite issues have since been resolved.
  
  
• Update: Player Feedback! We’ve been listening very carefully to your feedback. Improvements based on your thoughts and experiences have been made to art and gameplay throughout the entire game (the changes are too numerous to mention!). Thank you so much for helping to make Nevermind even better!

If you encounter this, please help us fix it by emailing us at support@nevermindgame.com with information on where and when the freeze occurred. After the crash, just quit the game and start it back up. You’ll be able to continue from the last photo you collected with a very low likelihood of experiencing the crash ever again.
