A number of big changes.

Standard:

1) More optimization has been done to the GSC levels, level streaming has been introduced that should help the most in RMS GSC, though a bit has been added to HMHS GSC. The Playroom was going to be also streamed to help with performance but in its current state it was too long of a load period, this area will be level streamed in next update. Even without that, this should help people with lower end systems as now some major chunks of the staircase is not loaded all the time when on anything but A deck.

Let us know if this helps anyone at all.

2) Some more Texture, material and bugs have been fixed that have been found by players in the past few days.

3) Some material and furniture changes to reflect some historical details & photos.

4) At the request of players, the load times with the text has been shortened to make it less annoying to go from space to space.

VR:

1) The above mentioned updates, including GSC level streaming, This should help with performance in VR, particular in the RMS GSC level.

2) Further optimization changes and engine tweaking should help with performance even more.

3) Pressing F11 at the main menu will now let you toggle the HMD mirroring, allowing you to make it smaller or hide it all together to make performance increase even more.

4) At the feedback of players, the turn angle for VR has been changed to 15 degrees to make it more flexible to turn without having to rotate your body more.

5) At the request of alot of people, a jumping feature has been added to the sinking levels, allowing you to more easily roam parts of the ship or lifeboats during the sinking.


Planned Updates/Features

1) The Music, SFX & Toggle features in the options menu in the standard version are not saving after leaving a level, and reset. This is being looked into and will hopefully be in the next wave of updates.

2) It has been requested for a walk/run toggle much like in Demo 3, and also to have a crouch option to make it easier to go up some stairs during the sinking. Both features are being looked into being added.

3) More level streaming in the GSC will hopefully be added to help improve performance of it more for lower end computers.

Please let us know if any of the current updates made any difference for both VR and Standard in terms of performance.
