Hey Everyone,
This patch includes a new 64 bit launcher. This will allow you to use as much ram as your hardware allows, which should be especially helpful for players with large bases, or those hosting games and running low on memory. A 32 bit exe is also still included for players on 32 bit systems.
The flare gun now has new reload animations and sound effects, as well as an aim down sights mode. Held flare also has new sounds and animation, and flare will now be visibly sparked before being lit.
Animals now get bloody when you hit them, with the damage being location based. This helps makes it much clearer when you have actually shot one with an arrow or have partially injured one. We also added this same system to the stewardess and some of the dead hanging bodies in the world.
There are a ton of new props around the cannibal villages and inside some of the beach huts. New buckets, bed mats, benches, plates and chairs in an effort to make those locations feel more lived in.
The endgame boss has had a pass at making it more difficult to fight, including being faster and attacking more often and with more variety of attacks, as well as being more aggressive in chasing down players attempting to keep their distance. In co-op mode the boss health will increase based on the amount of players in the room. In addition to these difficulty changes, the player can now re-spawn in the bed in front of the room instead of making you traverse all the way back there if you die during this encounter.
Along with this we did some sound effect polish including lowering the volume of the chainsaw, improved textures on the skinned animals, made some fixes to the achievements we released last patch, improved controller support and lots more for the full list visit: http://survivetheforest.com and https://www.facebook.com/SKSgames/posts/1800123293335106
If you are running a dedicated server, you will need to restart your server with the latest version to be compatible with this patch release.
