Hi Everyone,

We've been listening to your comments on the controls for the game and we've made some changes we'd love your feedback on. We thought the best way to do this was to make the updated version available for all owners to try out on a beta branch.

These are the changes we have made and the instructions on how to access it are below:

- The bone saw has been rebalanced to try to make it do more damage (closer to the tool in the original Surgeon Simulator).
- It is now easier to pick things up, using the same behaviour as our Meet the Medic demo, where any finger can now hold items.
- You no longer need to click in the Vive thumb touchpad to use the thumb, just resting your thumb on it will do the trick.
- Things don't move around in your hand as much, again something that should feel closer to Meet the Medic.

Please don't forget that this is still a beta build, so there might still be some bugs. The current known issues specific to the beta version are:

- A bit of stretching on the Alien model in the Alien surgery.
- Bonesaw doesn't always work on the ribs in the Kidney surgeries.

If you would like to try the update version out you can access these changes by switching to our beta branch using the following steps:

- Right click on Surgeon Simulator: Experience Reality in your Steam library
- Click 'Properties'
- Click the 'BETAS' tab
- In the drop-down, select the beta you would like to opt into: "sser_beta". If this isn't available, sometimes you need to restart Steam. You shouldn't need a beta access code.
- If your download doesn't start immediately, go back to Properties and click the LOCAL FILES tab, then Verify Integrity of Game Cache.
- Once you're on the right branch, under the LOCAL FILES tab your current content BuildID should say 1529033, and the title in your library will say "Surgeon Simulator: Experience Reality "

If you'd like to switch back to the original version, go back to the BETAS tab and click NONE. You may need to re-verify to kick off the download again.

So, try it out and let us know what you think. We'd very much love to hear your feedback in the comments.

Thanks

Bossa Studios
xoxo
