[h2]The universe of Chorus is about to feel that little more immersive with the free 1.6 update, out today.[/h2] A new Ray-Tracing mode is now available for all players, adding Ray-Traced reflections to all materials so that the environment, NPC and ship surfaces reflect light in a more natural and realistic way. On PC there’s also added support for NVIDIA’s DLAA. But it’s not just a visual update, it’s tactile too. Now CHORUS supports HOTAS (hands on throttle-and-stick) accessories for the most precise and immersive controls possible. [previewyoutube=uhKmbuwWDEY;full][/previewyoutube] [h1]Patch 1.6[/h1] [h3]Visual Update and HOTAS.[/h3] [list] [*]Ray-Traced Reflections support has been added for a more realistic and immersive visual experience. [*]You can now use most HOTAS (hands on throttle-and-stick) controllers to map all gameplay actions and input values to buttons and axes from multiple devices. Set target velocity directly via a throttle, instead of manually controlling acceleration/deceleration. Control the roll of the player ship. [*]Added support for NVIDIA’s DLAA. [/list] [h3]Balancing and Localization.[/h3] [list] [b]Balancing[/b] [*]Increased time to destroy Regrowth-Seals in first temple. [*]Damage from collisions with low and medium impact angles as well as medium speeds has been reduced. [*]Damage from collisions against shield has been reduced by half, making it absorb four times as much collision damage as hull. [b]First boss[/b] [*]Damage over time when falling behind while flying inside the arms has been reduced, allowing potential recovery on collision. [*]Picking up the hull that drops from destroying the third arm will now always restore 100% hull. [*]The placement of the hull pickup that drops from destroying the third arm has been adjusted to make it easier to collect. [*]Damage over time in the last phase has been reduced by half, effectively doubling the time limit to destroy the boss. [b]Localization[/b] [*]Japanese language localization is now available for full game and demo versions of Chorus on all platforms.
