The PC version now benefits from months of optimization work originally done to make the game run on standalone VR hardware. As a result, the game runs faster, is more stable, and the build size has been more than halved - all without significant visual differences.
Highlights
- Controller disconnection no longer causes flying/stretching bugs.
Resolved the "arm stretch" issue when tracking is lost or controllers run out of battery.
- Improved spawn logic.
Players are now correctly spawned without risk of getting stuck or thrown away.
- Massive optimization of game assets.
Textures, shaders, particle effects, and other assets were heavily optimized, leading to faster load times and a significantly smaller build.
- Improved colliders.
Some colliders were simplified for better collision detection and smoother climbing.
- Simplified quality settings.
The game now uses a single, optimized quality level that balances visuals and performance - the quality dropdown has been removed.
- Settings persistence.
User settings are now saved properly when the application is paused or interrupted.
- Recentering fixed.
The recenter function now works reliably via the headset dashboard.
- Unused engine services removed.
Unused Unity packages and services have been stripped out of the project.
- Fullscreen only mode.
The game now runs in fullscreen mode only. This improves both performance and compatibility with recording/streaming software.
Visual Adjustments
- Castle moss removed.
The heavy triplanar moss shader has been removed - rocks remain visible without the performance hit.
- Snow improved.
The snow is now less bright and translucent, allowing underlying rocks to be seen. The snow shader was replaced with a lighter version.
Other Changes
- Demo disabled.
The demo has not received these updates and no longer represents the current state of the game. It has been disabled.
- Price adjusted.
The price has been lowered to better reflect the nature of the game and match other platforms. This is a very challenging rage-climbing game and now more accessible to a wider audience.
