Hi everyone! We just released the June content update. This is a large update with lots of improvements and new features.

NOTE ON PERFORMANCE :

As you all know VR is very performance hungry so building a large living world like this is not an easy task. There is still a lot of room for performance improvements (especially for the Vive) so the and graphic settings are highly experimental.
However, with you can bring up a menu to tweak various graphic settings to your liking:

Key Function
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 low graphics
2 medium graphics
3 high graphics
4 epic graphics

insert no anti-aliasing
home FXAA
pageup temporal
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some of the changes include:

New starting point : campsite
BasicTruesky integration with realtime volumetric clouds
HRTF dynamic insect sounds added
Binaural wind gusts generator added
Much more environment variety added
Completely revamped physics based paddling system
Free roaming, go explore!
First hotspots are placed in the map
Motion-controller driven inventory system
New tool : the scanner
Hop on and off the paddle board
full remote support to control kayak, speed, flashlight and teleport from campsite to the tour kayak.
various bug fixes

Known issues:

If you paddle with two paddles at the same time, only one will rumble
Using the flashlight at daytime reduces performance
If you get stuck with the paddle board please let us know where so we can fix it. Holding down the grip buttons on both controllers teleports you back to the campsite
Vive users can hit
to jump into the tour kayak if you don't want to paddle (we will have a more elegant solution for this soon)

Also we encountered a bug that makes our cool translucent water flicker at certain angles, we are working with Epic to roll out a fix in the coming weeks. In the meantime we changed the water to a more basic opaque version but you can toggle between the two with .

We need your help!

We would love your help finding bugs and providing feedback to continue developing this title and make it as good as we can, if you want to participate in the development process you can do so by sending the bugs you found & any suggestions you have to support@immersiveent.com
