v1.18 Release Notes
Hello everyone!
Version 1.18 is now available! This is an update focused on optimizations, tech upgrades and bug fixes. We’ve improved the CPU performance and memory usage across the game and have seen increased framerates on a variety of setups. In addition we’ve upgraded the game engine from Unity 2019 LTS to Unity 2020 LTS providing a variety of fixes and improvements.
The VR mode of the game has been reworked to use the latest VR libraries and plugins. As part of these changes we’ve decided to focus entirely on SteamVR mode and have dropped native Oculus mode (to be clear, we aren’t dropping support for any Oculus devices). This has enabled us to bring some SteamVR-specific features to the game and will allow us to more easily upgrade and maintain the VR mode in the future.
We’ve switched from the Mono runtime to using IL2CPP as our default scripting backend for additional CPU performance. Quick note: There is now an additional beta branch on Steam if you want to still use Mono scripting for any reason.
Changes
Can now load local language files without using Steam Workshop
CPUs that require power now show the current and max stats based on current power levels
Translation
Updated translation string database (v0.88)
