- 1.6.6d Patch Notes - Bird Seeds, Framerate Unlocking and more
- Hey peakbaggers! Just a few updates this time around. Be sure to check out the notes below as there are some updates to display resolutions, fullscreen modes, framerate unlocking, and other stuff.
- 1.6.6
- Bird Seeds
- Added bird seeds that can temporarily pacify angered birds. Has limited use.
- Five packs of bird seeds can now be found on peaks in the Great Gales. Use your barometer to locate them.
- Fullscreen Mode
- Reworked fullscreen mode a bit to be more clear.
- Fullscreen Mode is now a drop-down to choose between Fullscreen, Fullscreen Borderless, and Windowed.
- Display Resolutions
- Display resolution options will now show refresh rates (Hz). Be sure to select the one that fits your current screen.
- FPS Limit
- Added an option to unlock the framerate.
- By default, the game will try to run at 60 fps (Option: Locked).
- If you wish to run the game above 60 fps (Option: Unlocked), I recommend leaving Vertical Sync on in order to prevent screen-tearing and unpredictable gameplay.
- Even when the FPS is unlocked/uncapped, the framerate will only go as high as your monitor's refresh rate if you have Vertical Sync on.
- Vertical Sync
- If you have Vertical Sync enabled, the game will try to match the framerate to your screen's refresh rate in order to prevent screen-tearing. E.g. when Vertical Sync is on and you run the game on a 144 Hz monitor, the game will try to match the framerate to 144 in order to prevent screen-tearing.
- Performance
- If you had performance issues previously, they might be tied to the resolution chosen before this patch. Please make sure you take a look at the resolution options and match them to your preferred display in this patch.
- Specifically, if you play with Vertical Sync enabled, make sure your native monitor refresh rate (Hz) is the same (or close to) the chosen resolution option and Hz.
- - Other minor bugfixes.
- Hotfix 1.6.6a
- Display Resolutions
- Added a few basic default 16:9 resolutions as well another check to detect native resolutions that aren't 16:9 specifically.
- You'll probably need to set your preferred resolution once you enter the game after this patch.
- Keep in mind that some resolutions will have misplaced UI positions as the game primarily supports 16:9 resolutions.
- Other tweaks and bugfixes
- Bird Seeds can now be used in all modes.
- Fixed a visual issue with the cabin crampons.
- Fixed some issues with camera animations not resetting movement and rotation values properly after animating.
- Fixed a UI issue with the chalk tooltip.
- Hotfix 1.6.6b
- Fixed a bug with the currently used resolution being incorrect in the previous patch.
- When launching after this updating to this patch, the game will automatically choose the last resolution available (native). This is only set once.
- If you wish to use another resolution and refresh rate, please choose one from Options > Graphics > Screen Resolution.
- Game Default resolutions will now have refresh rates based on the currently used screen.
- Hotfix 1.6.6c
- Common Ultrawide resolutions have been added back. They will show up if you run the game with launch options.
- If you're playing in ultrawide, please use the launch options outlined here.
- If the options don't show up after using it, you can add the command line "-optionsUW" after the others.
- Patch 1.6.6d
- Fixed a bug that allowed you to get more release force than intended.
- Fixed a bug with ice axes adding more than one increment to the Holds Made counter in Time Attack.
