1.0.5b beta build hotfix

We've added some fixes for the beta build and will do a few days of testing to make sure they're good before setting it live.
Please let us know!

features

- Offline personal best time functionality

improvements

- Optimize Vegetation System to do less combining, faster rendering and deallocation of vegetation. This could range from no noticeable difference to quite a significant boost in FPS and lower jitter.
- Lowered the collider of the T22 so the wheels don't clip on harsh jump landings
- Code optimizations

fixes

- Fix bug where 'Barely Keeping it Together' achievement was being awarded even on terminal damage stage completes
- Parking Lot achievement no longer awarded before all cars are unlocked
- Fix bug where the car would keep some momentum after resetting.
- Fix typos in credits
- Fixed: when a Xbox One controller disconnects abruptly there was a massive lagspike in the game, we have improved upon that so it happens less likely, but our hands are tied to an issue in XINPUT.
- Potential fix for a bug that prevents players from finishing a stage by resetting them to the last waypoint when they cross the finish line
- Fix bug where screenshake would happen after a stage restart or offroad reset
- Fix bug where the car would keep some momentum after resetting.
- Fix incorrect reporting of stages won in Custom mode
- Fix incorrect reporting of stages won in Career mode
- "Groundhog Day" bug

CHANGELOG 09: NEW MAP & FIXES

Greetings Harvesters,

Welcome to this the ninth of our regular post-release updates. We’re please to report that many players approved of the last weeks update and we hope to continue in this vein. Today, we release a new 1v1 map and fix some issues affecting competitive gameplay. Read on!

New 1v1 Map: The Dark Forest

Saxony is home to many majestic and wild forests. Despite the ever present encroachment of man, these places are still filled with mystery and myth.

But you’ll find more than folklore here. Deep within this sparsely populated area, the Kaiser’s finest engineers have been working in secret on a cutting-edge hydroelectric dam. This potent alternative to oil would be an incredible asset to the commander who can conquer the woodland's twisted paths and crumbling castles.

We wish you luck navigating the narrow woodland tracks as you flank your enemy. Just don’t get distracted wondering if a mech that explodes in a forest, when no-ones is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

General Changes

- Fixed a bug that prevented saved games on Polania’s 5th mission, “A Path to Hope”, from loading beyond 97%.
- Olga now uses Changa’s cool down correctly, preventing Changa from immediately respawning after death.
- Fixed an issue whereby grenadiers would freeze when trying to throw a grenade outside of their range while also aiming and firing.
- Following our recent update of the 1v1 Border River map, the community highlighted some collider issues. Thanks to this feedback, these have now been fixed.
- Barbed wire cost reduced in single player from 15 to 5 iron.
- Fixed destroyer cannons that weren’t working, incorrect quest messages and misplaced bushes in Stronghold Siege map.

Balance Changes

This week there will be no balance changes while we continue to collect and assess player data. “Measure twice, cut once” is our approach.

We solider on. Half the month complete with the month’s best almost here!

Next week: Group invite, that will allow you to queue for battle with your friends.

Dear Scavengers,

Halloween is behind us! However, we are still working on providing you with the best roguelike game. In this update we introduced a couple of features and hotfixes that will improve gameplay.
