DEMO PATCH NOTES - v1.1.0
Microphone Customization
Your microphone is now configurable in-game! No more messing with your windows settings. Just select your mic and get yapping. For the nerds out there who might be interested, this change necessitated supplanting Steam's voice APIs with an open source audio compression codec called Opus. We are also anticipating more stable audio connections with this change.
DirectX Support
When launching Haunted Heist, you will now have the option to launch the game using either Vulkan (default) or DirectX as your graphics API. If you are experiencing graphical issues with the game, we still recommend ensuring your graphics card drivers are up to date. However, swapping to DirectX may solve your issue if all else fails.
Minor Changes
- Trickster can now be defibbed
- Trickster can now cycle voice changer while using pluck
- Improved visibility of trickster respawn timer
- When paused in lobby, you are invincible
- Reduced initial wait for voice line while disguised (10s -> 5s)
- Reduced network upload usage
