Version [F6-A] is available now! This finishes Chapter 6, and adds new performance settings.
On my laptop (without a dedicated GPU), I was able to go from 5 FPS to 58 FPS in the first map. If you're on low-end hardware, please make sure to try the new settings!
Content-wise this is somewhat light on story (no new H-scenes). It still has 2 new battles, and 2 ending events, though.
Updating From [F5-A]
Extract and run anywhere.
Save data and settings will be transferred automatically, so long as you're playing from the same computer.
Other Changes
I've added a lot of small changes, fixes and polishes. Here's a few:
- Optimizations for non-battle maps: On my PC, I gained +13.8% FPS on the biggest map. Improvements depend on map size and system bottlenecks.
- Improved "Brightness" setting (it now illuminates dark areas more).
- If you're updating from an older game version, you must change and apply settings for it to take effect.
- Added a toggle-sprint option (as opposed to hold-to-sprint).
Settings → Controls → Hub → "Enable Toggle Sprint" - Polish: Save/Load menu now starts on the page with your latest save
- Polish: Can now exit menus via right-click (in addition to Escape and the "back" button)
- Fix: Crash to desktop after finishing the intro cutscene
- It was caused by the game failing to acquire your system's timezone when autosaving.
- After viewing the intro cutscene, you can now skip the intro when starting a new game
