There’s a chill in the air - [b]Halloween Horrors[/b] has returned to [i]Primal Carnage: Extinction[/i]... [h2][b]Special Event starts NOW![/b][/h2] Our annual spookfest features a range of[i] nightmarish[/i] new looks made by the[i] Primal Carnage [/i]community! We have some [i]deviously[/i] delightful [b]new mutations[/b] for several dinosaur classes, alongside some [b]malevolent mercenary styles [/b]and a selection of [b]horrific hardware[/b]! [previewyoutube=jd9n1wssnMI;full][/previewyoutube] We’ve also got a range of[i] spine-tingling[/i] [b]new FREE items [/b]available, with [b]Spooky Drops[/b] enabled today... from the terrifying Tarasqus Rex mutation, to the mortifying Magma Crusher Pachy, or the Ghoulish Sweets assault rifle, expect something[i] scary[/i] for your next drop!

Mostly this is for players who had lowered their brightness settings prior to update 3.0 -pretty much all maps now have more naturalistic sunlight intensity. Previously, it was over three times as intense. [h3]Settings[/h3] When opening the settings menu, you may see [Example Text] showing instead of some of the options. This is an Unreal 3 bug that happens sometimes when we add new options to the UI, particularly if you've already played the game and changed any settings. If you encounter this, navigate to [i]Steamapps / Common / PrimalCarnageExtinction / PrimalCarnageGame [/i]and [b]delete the Config folder. [/b]Then right click Primal Carnage: Extinction in your Steam library, go to Properties > Installed Files and [b]verify integrity [/b]to redownload a clean uncorrupted version. [h3]Flight[/h3] [b]Toggle Crouch now also applies in flight[/b], so if you have that option enabled you just need to tap the "crouch" key to dive instead of holding it. Flyers will automatically un-crouch on landing, so you don't need to tap it again when you hit the ground. [b]Flyers currently jitter or lag in flight[/b] - this is a new server replication bug that we've been working hard to resolve. Unfortunately we weren't able to get a fix into this patch, but we are actively investigating a solution for another patch this week. [h3][b]FULL CHANGELOG:[/b][/h3] [list] [*] [b]Fixed heavy melee failing to properly stagger small dinosaurs on dedicated server[/b] [*] [b]Reduced heavy melee stamina cost [/b]fom 75 to 50 [*] [b]Tupa: improved damage calculation algorithm for height-based divebomb damage[/b] [*] widened Tupa divebomb blast zone a bit further [*] fixed Tupa divebomb screen effect sometimes getting stuck onscreen after landing [*] slightly longer cooldown on ptera grab attack [*] Increased crush damage for Pachy from 20 to 30 [*] fixed Cryo not receiving bonus EXP for melting resupply items [*] added option to[b] toggle Film Grain[/b] effect on/off [*] fixed a couple of burst rifle skins applying barrel glow to the whole gun [*] fixed a shader error on 1-sided materials causing some objects to appear blue [*] [b]fixed stungun lens effect[/b] which was using Contingency blast visuals (sorry for the eyestrain!)
