Update Version 0.1.6.208:

⚡ Features / Content added & changes

• Added more Hard and Impossible difficulty anomalies
• Added reverb sound system to the Office
• Added the seed as text in the bottom right corner of the current selected location
• Added "Area not available" text to objects planned to be expanded
• Added additional hitbox for moved anomalies, so you can report the original position as well as the moved object
• Created more Geisha shenanigans and Entity events on CountryHouse
• Changed shadow behaviour on distance
• Changed Office world and lighting settings, this should increase the FPS significantly, depending on your system
• Changed CountryHouse lighting settings
• Changed minimum not repeatable anomalies array to 80% of the total anomalies active
• Changed reporting circle behavior moving to the actual actor, will be more changed in the future
• Changed Geisha entity hitbox
• Changed the "x minutes until crash" text so it will show the actual seconds left until crashing
• Changed report circle to have a final position
• Changed the Entity spawner system so only one entity class can spawn at the same time (ex: only 1 Geisha at the same time but different entities can still spawn)
• Reduced lighting in the Office
• Adjusted shadow settings (This should fix most of the wacky shadows)
• Increased anomaly timer on Hard and Impossible by 1 tick to counter the long report timer
• Replaced the Stock image on the Country House
• Rewrote the anomaly randomizer (Anomalies now spawn more according to their difficulty (Example: Hard difficulty anomalies now spawn way more often than easier once when playing on hard))
• Limited Global Illumination level to "High" instead of Ultra, as it didn't affected GI much and tanked the FPS for no reason
• Removed breaker and server text from E-Mail for now as it's not part of the gameplay in this version
• The selected difficulty is now displayed on the button as well so it's more clear what difficulty you've selected
• You now always get at least 2 entity anomalies
• Locked and inaccessible area doors do not give an interact circle anymore

🔧 Fixed Bugs

• Fixed sign text clipping out of bounds on multiple languages
• Fixed that the shadow model of the player doesn't play footsteps (No double footsteps anymore)
• Fixed Entity spawner ignoring blocked cameras (Entities could spawn on malfunctioning cameras)
• Fixed some light bleeding through the hallway walls
• Fixed the colors of the blockade at the Country House Outside camera being blue when playing on low graphics mode
• Fixed Distortion anomaly overwriting the spazm audio and audio anomaly volume
• Fixed credits font not loading correctly
• Fixed shadows on smaller objects
• Fixed shadows on the signs in the Office Hallway
• Fixed levitation anomaly clipping through the floor
• Fixed texture not loading correctly of the stone in front of the office
• Fixed the hitbox of the bathtub when upside down
• Fixed Toiletpaperholder double hitbox
• Fixed Gnome move anomaly having the wrong camera index resulting the default camera reporting the change
• Fixed LOD level of objects on Country House
• Fixed custom difficulty using "Impossible" weight values
• Fixed stats save file not migrating correctly
• Fixed when it detects a too-new generated stats file (ex: Switching from unstable to stable), it couldn't load correctly
• Fixed critical soft-lock, when you pressed ESC multiple times when getting back into the office, it would give you a black screen and you couldn't do anything anymore and needed to force close the game
