H3VR Now Has A Beta Branch!

Howdy Folks!



Something a big different for you this week. H3 is finally getting a beta-branch for testing new features that might still be a bit rough and/or compromise the functionality of other parts of the game.

For the next Update, #45, we've switched a new asynchronous loading system to help get you into the game faster, and hopefully eliminate some issues with controllers not working on load due to long load times on HDDs. It's a huge change though, so we've decided to have a 1-week testing period in beta to iron-out the kinks. Please note that MeatGrinder is disabled in the beta build as it is undergoing some big changes/additions and it not quite ready for showtime.

In addition, there's a new locomotion mode for Front-Facing Rift users. If you're in a two-sensor config on Rift, I'd love it if you could give the new mode a try (details in this week's devlog) and let me know what you think!

If you've never enabled a beta before, you can see how to do so here:

Opting In and Out of Steam Client and Product Betas

A Guide for Steam

By: Jimo

I will give you instructions on how to opt-in and out of a client or product beta through Steam.

Anywho, that's all for this week. Feel free to try out the beta if you're interested in the new locomotion mode, or if you're on a more min-spec system/running from an HDD and would like to see how fast things load for you.

Update 45 next week!

Cheers!
