[h2][b]Update v0.2.10: Stability, Performance Improvements and More![/b][/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41047451/bad13966b4f796dc6beff9135bc9e66a12b1aaad.png[/img] Because of the reasons above, we decided that this is a great time to release [b]an update[/b] for SCP: Nine-Tailed Fox. Originally, most of the bug fixes were intended for release in [b]version 0.3.0[/b]. However, as development extended beyond our initial timeline, we received [b]numerous bug reports[/b] from our [b]dedicated community[/b]. These issues ranged from minor glitches to [b]critical, game-breaking problems[/b]. Given the impact on gameplay and in our commitment to delivering the best experience possible, we decided it was crucial to address these issues. As a result, we've decided to [b]backport fixes from version 0.3.0[/b] into [b]this update[/b], aiming to enhance stability, improve performance, and ensure that all players have a smoother and more enjoyable experience as they navigate the eerie and unpredictable halls of SCP: Nine-Tailed Fox. We appreciate the community's patience and invaluable feedback. Thank you for helping us make SCP: Nine-Tailed Fox the best it can be! The update is [b]available NOW[/b] for download and the changelog can be found here: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1304510/view/7816635004477772157]https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1304510/view/7816635004477772157[/url] Apart from regular bug fixes, this upcoming update brings a variety of notable changes. Here’s what to expect in version 0.2.10: [h3][b]Integration of dgVoodoo[/b][/h3] For the past four months we’ve been testing out the addition of [b]dgVoodoo[/b] into the game on a separate Steam branch, aiming on [b]fixing the game’s poor performance[/b] on newer GPUs. The tests turned out to be [b]really successful[/b] and thus we’ve decided to officially add this library into the game. [h3][b]Map Size Reduction[/b][/h3] We've heard your feedback loud and clear! Many of you mentioned that, while the facility's [b]vast size[/b] was impressive, it sometimes [b]felt too cumbersome[/b]. In response, we've [b]scaled down[/b] the map sizes across all three zones:[list] [*] The Entrance Zone now measures [b]9x9[/b] units, down from 12x12. [*] Both the Light and Heavy Containment Zones are now [b]12x12[/b] units, reduced from 18x18.[/list] We hope these changes will enhance your navigation and progression through the facility, making for a smoother and more enjoyable experience.

Interesting how the map was generated in a shape of jack-o'-lantern![/i] [h3][b]Soft Lock Fixes[/b][/h3] Changes have been made to room layouts involving SCP-513 and SCP-966 containment chambers. Previously, these rooms were shaped in a 3-way configuration with [b]one way locked[/b] behind a keycard door, which could lead to a [b]soft lock situation[/b] if players lacked the necessary keycard.

[h3][b]Disclaimer Screens[/b][/h3] To better inform our players and ensure safety, we've added a new [b]disclaimer[/b] about [b]potential seizure risks[/b] due to elements like flashing lights or muzzle flashes from weapons. This is particularly important as we welcome many new players to the game. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41047451/e7d36c90399e92ee06c703846c303721ac9cbdf1.png[/img][i]Disclaimer with the seizure warning[/i] We've also included a reminder that SCP: Nine-Tailed Fox is [b]still[/b] in [b]Early Access[/b]. This serves to clarify that the game is not yet complete, and continuous updates and new content are still to come, countering any misconceptions about the game’s development status. [h3][b]Critical Bug Fixes[/b][/h3] As a final significant update in this version, we have addressed several critical bugs that were impacting gameplay. Here are some of the key fixes included in update v0.2.10:[list] [*] [b]For Singleplayer[/b], we’ve resolved an issue where starting a new game could freeze due to a map generation bug. This fix ensures a smoother start and consistent gameplay. Also, we’ve fixed performance issues with the [b]S-NAV Navigators[/b], enhancing their reliability and functionality during missions. [*] [b]For Multiplayer[/b], we’ve addressed a persistent issue where, after extended play, clients would not be able to see items scattered around the map.[/list] We are continuously working to identify and resolve issues reported by our community, and we appreciate your continued feedback and support. "[i][b]But wait! Where is version 0.3.0?[/b][/i]" you might ask. The answer is that it's still in development. Good news is that soon we are going to show more details about it! Stay tuned for that!
