Demo Patch: 5.1 Audio Fix + Microphone Settings Improvements

All news Players around this date Read on Steam

Hey all,

We've released a patch for the demo that addresses a failstate with the movie renderer where if you had a 5.1 audio output in Windows, the video rendering would get stuck on "Preparing to Render" forever. A big thank you to Phantimon from the Discord for investigating the issue and helping us get it fixed!

Additionally, we've added a visual for the microphone output volume so you can more easily tell if you're set to a good volume, and improved how microphone boosting works. You may need to adjust your microphone volume in-game if you played an old version of the demo.

Please let us know if you run into any issues either in the Steam forums or via our Discord: https://discord.gg/R3EjcHzYPN

Thanks again for playing the demo and supporting our game!

With Love,

Winston and Jeff

[EDIT]We are aware of an issue where the microphone volume visual indicator doesn't work in the main menu and are working on a fix.

For now, modify your microphone volume when you are either in lobby or in-game and you will see the visual indicator functioning properly.
