Heat 1.1.7.2 Milestone- Garret Shark skin, memory optimizations, QoL (Patreon)

With the rampocalypse still under way, we've significantly reduced the amount of RAM the game takes by loading the characters on demand instead of keeping them in memory. We've also added a new shark skin for Garret! Our 3d artist, Wiah, has been wanting to do something like this for some time. As for the crow character, they're currently undergoing design revisions so we can get them as beautiful as possible :)

Common Solutions to Game Issues

These are common solutions to many problems, ranging from the tongue not spawning to the game not launching in VR, or the game not authenticating. Try these out first if you're having issues, they work surprisingly often. If they don't work, message me and I'll be glad to help.

All issues (try these first):

Right click on verifyintegrity.ps1 and select 'Run with PowerShell' to validate your files. If this fails, redownload the game. The download got corrupted.

Make sure the game isn't installed within any folders that have winky faces or other unusual characters in them at any part in the path. This includes characters from other languages.

Webroot, and rarely other antiviruses falsely flag the game and will delete its files without telling you anything. Make sure they don't do that

Restart the game and your computer

VR issues:

Adding the game as a non-steam game then running from within SteamVR (if not working in VR)

Press P to switch to 2D mode and L to switch to VR mode on your keyboard

If your hands don't work, reset SteamVR bindings for the game. If you can't do this, launch the game from the .exe, not from the Steam shortcut

If you're using Oculus and the game doesn't launch in VR, launch SteamVR and sit in it for about 30 seconds then run the game from within SteamVR

Reinstall/validate SteamVR and Oculus software

Update video drivers

VR Framerate issues: Try changing VR pre-rendered frames & VR variable rate shading in Nvidia Control Panel

Clicking on the game window with your mouse when the game is open then putting on your VR headset (if the UI laser doesn't work)

Make sure the game isn't installed within any folders that have winky faces or other unusual characters in them at any part in the path. This includes characters from other languages.
