The biggest new of this patch is a major overhaul of AI (supernatural entities). Feedback from the community has helped us a lot, the entity has been revised and will act in a more unpredictable way. Additionally, there are plenty of improvements to come and the AI needed a good cleanup.
- AI recoding for better multiplayer synchronization and better fluidity in actions.
In order to perfect and improve the performance of Ghost Hunters Corp, we have fixed many bugs, including:
- Fixed a visual bug in the tablet when changing nicknames.
- Fixed a bug: you can no longer rotate the doors.
- Fixed bug with automatic book writing getting mixed up with wall writing.
- Fixed a bug with the player's hand when holding the Exorcism Book.
- When you open the tablet, the character no longer walks (even if the “Forward” key is pressed).
- Single player light animations are functional in multiplayer.
- Spirit Box EVPs are now heard correctly by all players in Multiplayer.
- The Audio driver used (Low or High) is no longer defined by the system but by the loaded language file in order to avoid language change bugs.
We are very grateful to our benevolent community thanks to which we can offer you numerous language supports (oral and written). Thanks to you, we can improve Ghost Hunters Corp. Here are the languages affected by the corrections:
- English.
- Spanish.
- Russian.
- Chinese.
Other corrections that did not fit into any list were made. Here is a non-exhaustive list :
- If a player leaves the camper van while the map is being launched, the mission will not launch.
- Change of save method to avoid the disappearance of the content of some save.
- Embedded vocal. Replacement of Unity "MessageEvent" by the RegisterCallback class which is more secure on output function calls.
- Change of the algorithm for updating entities on the network for better responsiveness / updating.
One of the biggest advances of this patch is the arrival of two new interactions for the entity, which will only be described here a few days after the patch's release, to give you time to discover them for yourself … but think about looking well everywhere when looking for the entity, and expect to have to run.
Next, here's a list of the gameplay changes:
- Mouse inversion on the X and Y axes is correctly configurable in the options.
- The entity now considers the Statues of Mary and the Crucifixes as obstacles and no longer as shields, which will now force the entity to calculate a different route to reach its objective.
- Only the Party Host can press the RV, whether to start or end a game, whether alive or unconscious.
- Slight overhaul of the death animation, to work with the new AI.
- The entity pauses after an exorcism, it will not attack directly.
- Ghost validated voice actions now have a 10 second cooldown to avoid continuous action pollution.
- Added the ability to change the audio driver directly in the tablet options.
- The exorcism book closes when dropped.
- A small phone has been added to the exorcism book to show the percentage of successful reading.
- The free and paid contracts have been reversed on the contract purchasing table for better readability. In addition, the design of the contracts to be chosen has been slightly revised.
- In the camper van, the text explaining that no contract has been chosen is now red for better visibility.
