Heat 0.4.5.2 Milestone - 3 Chars, Backthrusts, Player naughty bit scale, Lovense API support, New poses, Holiday special! (Patreon)
Content
This milestone is coming out a bit early, as we're taking some much needed time off during the last 2 weeks of December. However, we've still got lots of fun stuff this month that's been in the works for a while that we've finished up!
Firstly, we're allowed more chars in the scene at once, to 3. This may cause performance issues in VR though, so use at your own risk.
Next, much requested: Backthrusts! Characters will now thrust back onto dildos and dicks if they're in a pose they can do so. Just make sure hip thrusts are on in radial menu.
We've also added a slider to scale your player naughty bits. Self explanatory :)
We've added official Lovense API support- This can be toggled in the IRL toys menu, and will require the use of their bluetooth dongle or their mobile app. This adds pump support for things like the Max 2!
The new poses are masturbation anims. We've got one for Hera, Garret, and Aurora. They'll handle themselves in this one, you don't need to help ;)
And lastly, it's Heat's first holiday special! A candy cane toy mod has been included in the game, and all the socked characters have new socks to choose from :)
Check out the full changes below and please provide feedback in Discord! Thank you everyone for your continued support of Heat! Your support allows this game to exist!

Known Issues

Browser doesn't launch when hitting authenticate, or refuses to connect: Try running in admin mode or setting a different browser to default temporarily
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
Restart the game and your computer
Auth issues:
If you have a localhost error in your browser, press the auth trouble button below the authenticate button and follow the directions exactly.
Check "use alternate port" below the authenticate button
Run the game as admin
Make sure an antivirus isn't messing with Heat
Make sure game is let through firewall
Set a different browser to default temporarily
Disable adblocker temporarily
Disable any security that could prevent your computer from opening a socket and accepting a connection temporarily
VR issues:
Adding the game as a non-steam game then running from within SteamVR (if not working in VR)
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
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)
