Version 1.3 - Optimization and other miscellaneous fixes.
Building 847 Patch Notes — December 2, 2020
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
I have just released small update for the game that will improve the game's performance by 30% - you will be seeing increased FPS in some troubled areas, and I have also fixed some other minor issues.
Update 1.3
- Performance increase by lowering the amount of pixels lights, fade/shadow distance and other things.
- Collision fix with the Paperorium building exterior.
- Added drop-shadow to dialogue text for better readability and added a secondary highlight color for your dialogue choices so it's clearer which one your highlighting.
- Flashlight is a bit more powerful for better visibility
- Added a new sound loop for the outside environment as there was an issue with one of the previous tracks.
- SWAT van material now lights up properly from the light of the flashlight.
- New Skybox for a better atmosphere.
- New blood decal for a more realistic look on one of the SWAT members.
And that's it!
The next update will bring some much needed changes and other goodies! Some things I'm already working on while others are still in the wishful-thinking phase.
My aim is to be as transparent as possible so I want to share what will and should be on the next update, if all goes according to plan (yeah right!), the list will be ordered by what I'm already working on, to "I'll do it if there's time" as I still have a full-time job.
Next update

- More optional collectibles for lore-building
