Here's some of the patch notes for a number of frequent little updates, and not so little updates, that have been going on. The big change is that trueSky is gone for the Sky system, and is replaced by Enviro. It now has a full custom weather system controller, to give you (hopefully) realistic weather patterns. Patterns are defined per season, so I'll be adding a means to select your time and date in the future. Colombia is more stormy, being a hot tropical location.
If you have issues with this new version, you can switch to a 'previous version' branch on your Steam games properties. However the previous version is *not* compatible with the server due to the weather changes and it will likely go wrong.
Latest changes for 1.036:
- More realistic weather pattern with a custom weather controller for Enviro. Works over network games, although there are small differences in the look of the sky on each client.
- If no one is on the official server, it'll pause the clock or reset to morning if it's night-time.
- Chase view angle adjusted.
- Gui alpha value reduced so it's barely visible when inactive.
- Fixed the slow drift left and backwards that the camera suffered in non-vr mode over time.
- Santa's sleigh limited to December only.
- Thermals die when over water, or in rainfall, as well as when the sun is near below the horizon.
- Gui Hud text adjusted to green for visibility.
Latest changes for 1.0352:
- Various tweaks to landscape settings across both versions, to bring Enviro and the terrain in line with each other.
- Fishing sound is correctly 3d now.
Latest changes for 1.0351:
- Net code updated to synchronise server/client weather. Weather is still randomly generated for now...
- Enviro settings tweaked, although there is still an outstanding OpenVR distance clipping grey band. :(
Latest changes for 1.035:
- Enviro Initial weather system testing. Truesky removed.
- Columbia thermals made taller.
