Today we have an update with a crash fix and a few VR fixes. We are also adding three names to the secret plaque that were missed when the asset was created.
T-Shirt Contest
During crimefest we held a t-shirt competition, many good contributors sent us their designs and it was not easy to pick a winner. We finally choose a design to be held as our favorite. A user named Xieken created a wonderful splash-art style shirt biased on our favorite psychopath; Wolf.
Fixed an issue with outlines not being displayed properly on VR HMDs without hidden area masking support
Fixed an animation issue with procedural arm animation on VR players when reloading a weapon while holding a melee weapon
Added three more names to the plaque in the secret cave that was missing
Removed a name from the plaque in the secret cave due to the person being listed twice
Happy Heisting Holidays
Hello Heisters
We bring you a small Winter Holiday Update with some fixes, for example: tweaks to achievements and the White House chopper intro. There is alsoa tweak to the secret in there for all you solo player and heisting crews with less than four players.
Veron Locke
A month ago we asked you if you wanted to see an update to the Locke model to look like the voice actor, Ian Russell, who also played Locke in the films we created for Crimefest. The votes were almost 17 to 1 in favor of the update. With such a landslide victory we have now added Ian (and his glorious mustache) to the game and contact videos.
VR
Finally, we have something for our Virtual Heisters. Bows are now available, as well as a virtual keyboard that helps communication if you don’t want to use voice chat. Last but not least, we added procedural arm movement so your teammates can see you flailing your arms about in real time. This can (of course) be turned off if you do not want them to see you frantically waving as a Cloaker charges you.
