Build Notes for Version 0.03.39

NOTE: No Sensor is Required.
You do NOT need a biofeedback sensor to play Nevermind. Without a sensor, the biofeedback-specific features will be unavailable, but the core game itself will be fully functional.

Updates:

• Bug fix: Client #418 Non-Progression Bug
The bug in Client# 418 (mentioned in our 7/23 announcement) has now been fixed.
• New Controller: Xbox One Controller Support
Nevermind now supports the Xbox One controller. We will be adding more supported controllers in the coming weeks. Keep an eye out for a survey about which controllers YOU would like for us to support!
• Overall Improvements: More Reliable Controller Support
We have fixed several bugs specific to playing Nevermind with an Xbox 360 controller.
• General Improvements:
Performance optimizations, visual upgrades, and general bug fixes have been made throughout the game. Major performance upgrades will be coming soon!

Notes and Disclaimers:

• Nevermind is an Early Access game:
Nevermind is still in development and you may experience bugs or performance issues that we will continue to iron out as development continues. All content is still a work-in-progress. If you have feedback, please let us know via the Steam Community Page Discussions.
• Bug alert: Choppiness in the opening area of the IntroSim (Mac Users)
Some Mac users may experience increased choppiness in the opening “cottage” area of the IntroSim. We are currently investigating the cause of this and hope to have it resolved soon. If the choppiness becomes too annoying, please consider turning your Render Settings to “Medium.” You can do so by going to Options/Graphics. The opening area of the IntroSim is the only area within the game where this issue should exist.
• Bug alert: Mouse movement counts as a “button” press on skippable screens
During screens that can be skipped with a button press, moving the mouse (even just a little) will cause the screen to skip. We’re hoping to have this fixed for the next update.
• Windows 7 Support:
Nevermind is playable on Windows 7, although it is not fully supported. Windows 7 users may experience some instability.
• Mio LINK Users:
Bluetooth connectivity currently works only on Windows 8. At this time, the Mio Link is the only sensor that uses Bluetooth connectivity. To pair a Mio LINK with a Windows 7 machine, please use an ANT+ USB stick.
• Companion App:
To support non-RealSense heart rate devices (e.g. The Mio, Garmin Chest Strap, etc.) on Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 environments, Nevermind makes use of a small companion app called the Nevermind Heartrate Companion. This companion application is opened and closed by the game, and can be found as a taskbar icon next to the clock during play. This companion application uses network protocols to communicate with Nevermind. Because of this, the companion app may cause a security warning on Windows and/or some anti-virus software. We assure you this companion app is completely safe, and you can allow it access to the system's network. There are currently no plans or means to support Bluetooth heart rate devices on Windows 7. OS X Bluetooth support is planned for a future Early Access update.
• Companion App Known Issue:
There is a small known issue where the Nevermind Heartrate Companion will sometimes not quit along with Nevermind, due to a failure in network communication between the two applications. If this occurs, you can close the companion application manually by right-clicking on its taskbar icon and selecting "Quit" from the context menu.
• Bug alert: Performance
Performance may be particularly laggy on machines that run closer to our min specs. We will be continuing our ongoing optimization efforts and intend for future builds to run much more smoothly.
• Fear UI:
To see an on-screen indicator of your “fear level,” go into the Options menu and select “Fear UI On.” (Note: option only appears if playing with a supported biofeedback sensor).
• First Person Control Familiarity:
Nevermind uses standard “first person” controls (WASD/arrows and mouse). Familiarity with this control scheme is recommended.
