>>>>>Map 3 crash some people were having (hopefully) fixed.<<<<<

All

Some gnomes have been edited to either:
A) Give a reward AND punishment for being shot.
B) Give a reward if they were neutral.
C) Have a random result of being shot that's either a reward or punishment.
Improved lighting from some fires, lamps and vehicles.

M1

Moved grenade launcher from car park to behind door that opens after first gnome is shot as a reward for dealing with the tanks.
Added punishment to go with reward of second gnome (with multiple possible outcomes of position).
Fixed broken car alarm on final road.
Improved lighting from alarmed cars.


M2

Lowered TV brightness.
Fixed bad nav around start of containers area which allowed survivors to keep threats away.
Tanks should no longer spawn immediately after the gated gauntlet.
Removed recently added fog effect around start of park entrance as it was causing a lighting bug.
Added potential positive outcome of shooting the last gnome.
Fixed issue that may have been preventing scripted charger that knocks over crate from appearing (not 100% confirmed).
Improved lighting from all light sources.


M3

Removed corn field gate sequences as they seem to be what was causing a crash for a lot of people.
Added new horde trigger for end of map corn field to replace old removed version.
Added guaranteed laser sight spawn.
Stopped wind from affecting lake gnome effect.
Fixed trees that weren't rendering near starting safe house on lower graphical settings.
Fixed soundscape error which maintained the sounds of the lake area if players backtracked away from it.


M4

Added fence to small wall on rooftop that had been blocked to give a visual reason for being blocked.
Katana in Saltwell Towers can now be pulled from the wall.
Added reward at end of first gnome location.


M5

Stopped radio from glowing from the map start. It will now glow only once the fence has been passed.
Slightly lowered amount of supplies around finale. Removed two guaranteed defibs and added a guaranteed boomer bile.
Fixed nav issue that was stopping special infected from attacking survivors on top of vans in the finale.
Removed tractor from near the greenhouse.

--All Maps--
Completely overhauled visibility optimisations. The game now loads FAR fewer things when they aren't directly visible to the player.
Improved lighting and shadows throughout the campaign. Previously a setting during compile wasn't enabled allowing for more light passes.
Improved skyboxes. Large chunks which were previously in the playable area have now been moved to the 3D skybox as they were never navigable by players.
Improved custom materials to blend in better with the world.
Fixed light sprite issues such as being too big or having a different colour output to their respective light sources.
Fixed some animated props to toggle their animation states on/off when needed. Being permanently on was causing large lag problems for lower end systems.
Improved quality of loading screen texture.
Fixed some custom textures that were sometimes flickering at a distance.
Tweaked common spawn limits for better performance.

--Map 1--
Changed intro song.
Added new intro sequence.

Replaced upper windows in back alley to more realistic looking ones.
Completely reworked and improved reflections.
Removed several brushes that were mistakenly left in after experimenting with versus.

--Map 2--
Completely rebuilt the skybox for better optimisation.

Large unused chunks of the map have been moved to the skybox.
Completely rebuilt the starting houses and surrounding roads. They are now built as an instance to fix several historical errors caused by this section of the map being built off-grid.
Added buildings from map 1 to the skybox (including new smoke effect caused by chopper crash) for better continuity.
Lowered render range. This shouldn't be noticeable as it was previously higher than necessary.
Changed fog colour to blend better with skybox.
Increased fog start range.
Rebuilt large portions of the nav mesh.
Infected will no longer get stuck trying to run through closed gates on the gauntlet section.
Infected will no longer get stuck behind the crate before it is moved by the crane.

Fixed bad nav mesh on suspended container.
Removed first gnome (temporarily?). It was boring and very temperamental. Will likely be replaced with new effect at some point.
