| Update #5 | 2018-02-20 | We have increased the angle when you walk uphill, and now the chance to die when you slide down the hill is reduced. One user informed us that SteamVR is launching automatically with our game, we fixed that bug. Also, he had a problem with green flickering lines (bars, stripes) in game. The problem is with Unreal Engine 4, we solved this problem, so contact us on mail, or wherever you want, for solution. We noticed that we made a mistake with objective: "... collect 10 woods and put them in drop zone". You need to collect 12 woods. |

| Update #4 | 2018-02-20 | We added on your request cooking and fire scales, so now you know exactly how much you need to cook something on fire, or how long will fire burn. If you can't see scales when you are near to camp fire, press U key to turn on again HUD icons. We changed time for cooking from 100 seconds to 60 seconds, so you can cook faster. We want to remind you that you can increase duration of camp fire by using branches through inventory. |

| Update #3 | 2018-02-18 | We changed day and night on your request. Now, day is longer, and night is 2 time shorter. Previously, day and night was the same. Also, now when it rains at night, it's overcast. We changed option "Foliage" (in video menu). Previously, if you turn off foliage and want to turn it on again, you need to start new game. Now you can continue your progress, but we recommend you to go to area where there are no trees, like beach, save game, turn on foliage, and continue your progress. The reason why you need to do this is because there's a chance that you will be spawned in tree. Also we recommend you to do backup of your save game files if you wan |

| Update #2 | 2018-02-17 | We changed fruit on your request. Now fruit give you water, so you have more chances to survive and not to dehydrate. Also we changed resources needed for crafting shelter, raft and campfire. Now is easier to collect items. We solved the bug when the cutscene starts and you accidentally press Interact (F) key to drive while you are on raft. This caused your scales set to zero and you can’t progress further. We changed default settings when you start game for the first time or if you deleted settings file. Previously was set to high presets, and now is low to medium presets in order to avoid crash at the beginning. So check video settings and |
