UPDATE #54: HALLOWEEN PATCH 1.0.4

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hell-o to all of you!

We bring a new patch today, featuring a couple of smaller fixes and a request from our players.

HALLWOEEN REMINDER

But before that, a quick reminder: an extra character can be unlocked during this and the next week. It comes with its own achievement, but it still cool nonetheless!
So remember to run the game and try it out!

LOCKED FRAMERATE

Regarding the patch, it brings some minor improvements, but the most relevant change is the addition of a locked framerate option. If you're PC is beefy enough, you're probably running Heart&Slash at 200+ frames per second, unnecessarily turning your system into a small scale heater.

Now, by default, Heart&Slash runs at locked 60fps. That should be good enough for most users, but those interested in higher (or lower) framerates in tandem with v-sync, you can modify the framerate by editing the video settings file and adding or modifying a line:

fpsLimit:30

to set the framerate to locked 30fps.
If the line is not present, you can change any video setting, exit the game to make sure the new value is saved and then open the settings file.

Of course, we don't recommend setting the framerate to anything below 30fps, because the game will run much slower than desired and the dynamic resolution system will kick in.

OTHER FIXES

In the patch we've included other improvements:

  • Updates to the Simplified Chinese translation
  • COPS blockade no longer obstructs passage through doors in the second level
  • Dynamic resolution could fail to activate because of a misconfiguration

Enjoy the game during these special days. We're preparing some more content. Once we have something to show, we'll let you all know!

Thanks for playing and keeping up to date with us!

So here you have version 1.1.6: · Fixed rooms in the Factory that would not spawn normal enemies if a Big enemy had spawned already. · Revert change that made FPS camera by default controlled with movement keys. It made playing using laser guns with gamepads difficult. · Fixed an overlap in the…Community28 Feb 2018UPDATE #61: CAMERA AND SOUNDSHello. Once again, we bring a small update (actually, two in one, as we discovered a small issue that we rectified before uploading the previous version). The most important bit is that now the first person camera used by specific equipment will, by default, be rotated with the camera controls, instead of the movement controls. That means, by default, with the mouse or the right analog stick. A…
