Hi all,

Thanks for your patience with this first week. As always, we appreciate the bug reports, feedback and support you guys have been giving us.

Changes

• Improved performance throughout the game
• Monsters will now stay away from a revived player's position for a brief time (difficulty dependent)
• The Lantern now has to have chased a player for at least a few seconds before he can use his lantern (no more instant flashbangs)
• Destroyed a railing on the front tower of the Erebus
• Removed the ability for AI to search inside small bathrooms after they break down the door (allowing players to hide behind the door)
• Shaders are now pre-loaded to prevent stutters and low FPS mid-game
• Added a new option to reduce the volume of some loud ambient noises (rain, helicopter, engine, blizzard)
• Added a new option (WIP, not everything is affected yet) that will reduce the game sounds when players are voice chatting nearby
• Players ambient interest lowered (reducing the desire for the AI to go to players doing nothing of interest)
• Objective interest has been increased (AI are more likely to visit an objective that requires input)
• The lantern's footsteps have been increased
