Release notes for Hotfix #2 - The Walking Dead Saints & Sinners, CL 157393

[sdi_souleater]

For everyone:

• Handgun/Pistol angle adjustments, two-handed grips on one-handed firearms now stay level

...and for those who have demanded it:

• An Alpha version of Physical Crouching!

This an early Work-in-Progress and there are definitely some flaws, but the early results are so promising we wanted to share it now. Also, we want to ask your help to make it better. So...

The feature is still in active development, and you'll have to hack the INI to expose it.

Here's how:

• Open your GameUserSettings.ini file which in typical Windows 10 installs will be here:
  C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\TWD\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini
  
  • Note: The AppData folder may be hidden, but you can reveal it via Folder Options from your Start Menu
• FInd the line that reads:
  /Script/TWD.TWDGameUserSettings
  
• Right below that, insert the following: bPhysicalCrouchEnabled=True
  
• Run the game, give it a whirl.

Some Caveats:

• Start each play session by hitting ResetHMD/Pause from a comfortable standing position. If anything gets weird, do it again.
  
• If you find you have to crouch too far or not far enough you can edit CrouchDistance=32.000 (found in the same file), to any number you find comfortable. Be sure to post any mods you make that make it feel better.

Known Flaws:

• Sometimes pops a bit when entering a crawlspace. We're already working on it.
• You can find some bits of level geometry that pop you down when you crawl near them.

Post about it! Tell us what's working and what's not, post videos of awkward moments, or of beautiful ones. Everything we hear helps us make it better, and believe me we are listening!

Last, we want to give a huge shout-out to everyone who pushed us to make this happen. You were right - it's going to be amazing! With your help, we'll get it there.

Wow you guys are great! I was going to go to sleep but i think i'll roll a fatty instead

I hope the next thing you guys do is remove the low stamina and health effect around your field of view

Yeah this is so much better now. I have not run into any issues yet and being able to crouch makes such a huge difference

[Not Vergil.]

Please, I have an issue with day 10s morning where Spoiler: Casey will keep spouting about pressing the button but when I actually press it the dialogue will get caught and I can't progress or revert save since for some reason they had all saved at the part where I wake up, so I need to completely restart and lose a lot of progress but for now I'll just make a new profile Please fix this guys it's hindering my progress and it's really hurting my experience with the game.

Can't wait to try this!

[Smugford12]

Wow thanks, that was really quick. I know it was pinned as #4 known issues but any news on the ability to play via Virtual Desktop?

Just tested this quickly and it works nicely. found a odd little bug. when physically crouching and you go next to a table/bench you kind of duck under it a little more. TBH i kinda like it though

[senpai]

Does it mean you can hide under desks/tables? Lol

[PeaceMaker]

Good work. Looks like I`m buying back the game! Remember, people, it`s because we complained for this. Had we just accepted what was there we`d never had a physical crouch this fast. Pat YOURSELVES on the back.

[Romuhousu]

Nice to see such a quick response to this. I decided to buy the game to try it out myself :)

[senpai]

They even thanked the people who pushed for this to happen.
I'm basically just waiting for my Steam wallet to be usable as it's where I refunded my purchase.
That fund is reserved for this game once they start fixing them issues.

Good games draw people in, devs who listen to their community is what makes players stay.

[Syclonix]

I hope you guys sell a lot of copies! You guys deserve it for turning around the patch so quickly and addressing the two main concerns to an otherwise awesome game!

[Soulgraph]

this update is being a pita, what gives?

[Matoosh]

Please, next time fix recognizing your vr setup... Even if I set up vive cosmos in steam vr before game, the game thinks I have another controller and I cant even click on anything in first menu...

[EAST]

Thank you for listening! This gives me great hope when I eventually start my playthrough of the game early next month.

It's best to have lots of options in VR. Roomscale is something we've come to expect in VR with 6dof tracking. It's one of the things that's makes the tech so immersive. Being able to physically crouch and walk around in the environments (for those of us that have the space for it) is a staple of good VR.

Please add Russian to the game

It was done horribly though. Learn to ask, not to demand.
