Stuck on Loading Screen bug fix...
This should fix the hanging loading screen and allow you to enter the game properly.
Aim Assist Update - v1.2.2
We've left Aim Assist on full (1.0) as well as switched the default Aim Assist mode to NEAREST. This method basically rewards the player for accurate throws, but still provides assistance with a throw that is lacking velocity and accuracy.
The GAZE method allows the player to visualize their target with a red dot graphic on the board that moves depending on where you look with your headset. The trick is keeping your head steady while throwing at the target. Both methods and all settings now qualify for Leaderboard scores.
The Aim Assist slider can also be reduced to blend your natural throw with some assistance, or turned off completely for no assistance and a much more challenging experience.
The best way to reset to the new defaults, is to click RESET PREFERENCES in the right side Settings menu.
Changelog:
- Added a dropdown menu for optimal controller presets (Oculus, Index and Vive)
- Simplified Aim Assist and Main Settings menus
- Updated Aim Assist targets making it easier to hit targets
- Made 'Nearest' the default assist mode
- Maximized the Assist Amount for easier throwing and scoring
- Removed rule that Aim Amount above 0.5 would not count for Leaderboards
