Hotfix 4: Physics tweaks, AMD fix and blood

Half Sword Demo · published 7 months ago

All events Players around this date Read on Steam

Hi everyone,

In this hotfix we started looking at your feedback on physics + rolled some additional fixes on the AMD blood polling, as it seems some AMD GPUs were still impacted:

Physics

Lowered character physics substepping intervals. Expected results: better physics precision. Character control and combat should feel better.
Disabled collision between character and their weapons. Weapons should less get stuck during combat and longer weapons shouldn't cause wielder to fall over when stuck.
Kicking is now possible when you are on the ground

Blood

Lowered gravity effect on blood particles, now they fly around more dramatically and are more noticable.
Reworked decals spawning
Fixed more AMD blood polling bug.

Optimization

Cleaned up various materials

Localization

Fixed special characters in various languages which weren't part of the font

Let us know on how you feel about those changes, and in the meantime we will continue working on improving the game,

Thank you again for your support and patience,

Half Sword team
