Hey ninjas - hitting the public test branch today is Patch 1.3, which contains a revamp of the Arcade Mode for our arcade partners (and also a fun mode to introduce new players with).
It is accessible from the start screen, or if you've disabled that, you can also access it under Options > Integrations.
The first of the big performance changes will start arriving next month - we're talking at minimum a 30% increase on some of the heavier maps, and we're excited to roll those out in due time. We have five revamped maps coming in the first batch, and more coming out subsequently.
In the meantime, we've made small behind the scenes tweaks to reduce memory usage a little in this version.
## v1.3 (2018-08-14) - Build 138 - Revamped Arcade mode (a new streamlined experience for our arcade partners)
- Added Salvage Legendaries function to quickselling. Use with care! Only equipped and favourited legendaries will not be touched.
- Updated LIV SDK
Lastly, we are deliberating which setting we should take for Sairento VR's sequel and we would love to hear your vote below.
It's been a while! For returning players, here's a summary of our 1.2 patch cycle over the past 3 months :
- Introduction of endless Challenge Modes
- Daily rewards
- Unveiled the DLC weapons : The Kigiri, Kusarigama, and Slugger
- Added Hiro as a playable avatar
With patch cycle 1.3 rolling around soon, we want to take some time to address some issues which have been persisting for a while and that many of you have brought up :
- Improving framerate and performance We will be doing some optimizations to improve performance for everyone, and especially for lower-end graphics cards. This will also alleviate the clipping issues that occur when the framerate dips.
- Improving graphics We'll be splashing a new coat of paint over the existing levels. Experience a much better looking Sairento. This will come in phases as we roll out the changes across level by level.
- Crashes Some of you have been experiencing constant crashes during gameplay, and this is where we would like to spend some time focusing on updating the game engine we use (Unity) in tandem with optimizing our code to prevent such occurrences from happening.
To anyone who has experienced less than stellar performance on Sairento so far, we apologize for our mistakes and promise to do better. We'll be working hard on fixing that this patch cycle.
Expect 1.3 to land in mid-August!
If You Bought Sairento On Amazon ...
If anyone has purchased a copy of Sairento VR via Amazon and received a note saying that the key has been revoked, this is what happened.
Earlier on, we signed up with a distributor representing us to distribute via various channels, including Amazon.
After a few months of not hearing back, we asked them for sales figures and they reported a grand total of 2 copies sold.
They also claimed that Amazon was non-responsive and never got back regarding sales figures. In fact, they went as far as to say that Amazon never sold any copies. They also gave us the go ahead to terminate the keys we gave them.
We did that.
And right after that we received several emails from Amazon customers telling us that they have had their Sairento VR keys revoked.
To those affected customers, we apologize sincerely for the inconvenience. Please write in to us at info@mixedrealms.com and we will sort it out for you.
If anyone knows anyone from Amazon, we would be greatly indebted if you could please let them know that we are in a helpless situation where our product is put up to sell, but our distributor is claiming that Amazon is not getting in touch with them and paying them.
Thank you.

New Weapons Pack DLC Release
The most badass cyber ninja game in VR has tuned it up a few notches badder with a host of new wicked weapons!
Feast your eyes on the crimson mayhem as the Kusarigama sickle and chain, Kigiri claw weapon and the Slugger plasma submachine gun slay their way into Sairento VR!
We apologize that we can't make this free this time but most of you would know that we have been giving away several free updates and occasionally we do need to charge for new content to stay afloat (and produce more awesome content).
We hope that you will support our endeavors and thank you in advance!

- The Kusarigama acts like a kama in close quarters combat, but can be extended into a sickle and chain and used as a flailing weapon.
- The Kigiri is a claw weapon, with the secondary capability of ejecting the claw blades as deadly projectiles.
- The Slugger is a unique SMG that is plasma based and uses a heat management system instead of physical rounds for ammo. Careful not to let it overheat!
For those of you who already have Sairento VR, you are in for a treat!
We are collaborating with the makers of A-Tech Cybernetic VR to bring you a brand new bundle and if you already own Sairento, you can purchase the other game at a discount!

Sairento VR v1.2.0p3 : Endless Modes, Daily Rewards, and more!
Hey ninjas, the 1.2 patch is finally here and it's an exciting one!
We've added in a Challenge Mode option, which currently contains two separate game modes - Endurance and Gauntlet, which are endless versions of Survival and Purge respectively, where the rewards and difficulty increases over time, and even more when you invest a newly added currency into it, called Intel.
Daily rewards is also another addition that will help alleviate some of the resource issues that happen in the early to mid game. Additionally, playing 6 days in a row (not necessarily consecutively) nets you a legendary lockbox, which is intended to help said progression as well!
