The new version and implementation of Default and Beta channels.

We recently released a major update of the game called the Anniversary Update, which included improvements to lighting and performance. However, the new technologies used in our game did not work correctly with some Windows Mixed Reality and HTC headsets. Today we have released a new patch that should bring graphics and performance improvements to owners of previously unsupported devices. Hooray!

However, we do not guarantee that this patch has fixed all the problems and made it possible to enjoy the virtual experience on all possible VR headsets! In order not to deprive the owners of virtual reality helmets, which are not yet supported by the game, we have created two separate update channels:

• Default - an old version of the game (it was rolled back to versions before the Anniversary Update), which uses the old engine, has low performance, but can be played on almost any VR device.
  
• Beta - a new version of the game, with a new engine that provides better graphics and performance, but the game may not be playable on some VR headsets.
  

We strongly recommend using the Beta channel if the game plays normally on your headset! Once we are sure that the new technology works on all VR headsets, we will publish the game from the Beta channel to the default game channel.

We really need your comments on how the app works on different devices to make a truly beautiful VR experience available to everyone!

How to switch between channels?

Find the "A Walk in the Woods" application in your library.

Press the right mouse button or similar combination on the touchpad to show the context menu. Click on “Properties”.

New window will appear. Go to the "Beta Versions" tab.

In the drop-down list (the very first item), select the channel you want to use. "None" - to use the default channel and "Beta - ..." to enjoy the latest and greatest version of the game.


Have a great walk and take care of yourself and your loved ones!
