[2022] Patch Notes April 12

HIDING SPOTS

Our first approach to reducing the overuse of door hiding didn’t work too well, so we’ve reverted several doors for better navigation, but given our ghosts a lesson in how to play hide and seek properly!
In the last update, Willow got the full hiding spot treatment, and the other locations were feeling a little left out! We’ve gone through said locations to adjust, add or remove hiding spots to make them more consistent and reliable:
Ghosts will now always check behind doors during hunts, use at your own risk!
Several doors and light switch positions have been reverted to their pre-VR overhaul position/rotation to help with navigation through rooms.

Added a clutter hiding spot in the Nursery.
Added a plywood hiding spot in the basement.
Added cooler boxes in the basement that the ghost can leave fingerprints on.

Added a clutter hiding spot to the Living Room.
Added a clutter hiding spot to the Blue Bedroom.
The armchair in the Master Bedroom will now move depending on if that spot is blocked or not.
The washer/dryer hiding spot has been removed to help better spread out rooms with free spots.

You can now adjust the forward/backward position of your VR Belt in the settings.
You can now change where your Journal and Walkie-Talkie are located in the VR settings:
Belt.
Shoulder.

Adjusted the intensity and range of some lights in Edgefield.
All scrollbars in VR have been replaced by up and down buttons.
Moved the Tanglewood Utility door from the kitchen to the hallway.
Adjusted some materials in Tanglewood.
Adjusted the position of the VR journal grab point.
Added buttons to scroll up and down in the EULA in VR.
The grip force required to grab objects in VR with an Index controller has been reduced.
Held items in VR will no longer be dropped if your hand moves too far away.
Updated the main journal font to work with more languages instead of using a fallback font.
Props and equipment will now teleport to your tracked hand position if they are too far away, instead of dropping them in VR.
