TheHunter: Primal
Game Update 20150120
Changes
* Improved logging of game errors
Game Update 20150119
Features
* Triceratops can attack. (We will keep working on this feature)
Changes
* Improved loot tables - The most noticeable difference is that if you find a weapon you will now also find compatible ammo for it in the same container (unless another player has looted it before you). We’ve also made some additional changes behind the scenes to get more control over the random distribution of items which we will use to make further tweaks to the looting experience throughout the week. These tweaks will be made server side without having to patch the client.
* The T-rex and Utahraptors now have a 90 degree turning animation when being aggressive. This should increase their lethality in situations where they have to rotate before attacking.
Bug fixes
* Fix for a common crash when using items
* Fix for a startup crash when the game tried to access the map
* Utahraptor group communication sounds are synced to all players. (so all players hear their sounds)
Game Update 2015011402
- Improved server list
- Item stacking and splitting (in equipment slots). We will improve this further but the current implementation should solve the problem where you had to mess with the inventory in the middle of combat. Stack by drag and dropping on top of equiped items and split by holding Shift while drag and dropping.
- New item - Merc Binoculars can now be found at some of the ruin sites
- Dinos now avoid larger dinos when not attacking or searching for players
Changes
- Consumable item inventory capacity cost is now tied to use count. This means that, for instance, a stack of 5 arrows now take up half the space in the inventory compared to a stack of 10. In most cases this means that your current inventory now has more space as most stacks got lighter but there may be some cases where players may get inventories that exceed 100%. It’s nothing to worry about as you will still be able to use the inventory as normal with the exception that no additional items can be added until you have dropped enough of them to get below 100%.
- A little faster loading times
Bug fixes
- Fixed crash that could occur when triceratops got killed in water
- Fixed a crash that could occur when players joined a game directly when it showed up on the server list
- Fix for random crash when a player joined a multiplayer game
- Fix for a random crash
- Minor terrain fixes
- Fix for leaderboard not showing
- Fix for map not being saved correctly between sessions
- Fix for dinos not always rotating correctly towards the player
Status Update
Just a quick heads-up from us: the EW team is back from their winter break and the work on Primal continues! Right now we are working on the new dinosaur species (which one is secret, but feel free to speculate ;)) - the much requested stacking ammo function as well as bugfixing and server optimization.
Happy dino-hunting!
