Heat 0.5.6.1 Milestone - Holiday cabin, new skins, headgrabs, optimization, irl toy updates (Patreon)

Whew, with all the MFF prep this has been a super hectic month. We had to spend some time getting a special con guided tour build ready for the game, but still managed a nice set of features for you guys this month <3

First, we've gotten the cabin decorated with some lovely lights! It's should you get you right into the spirit!

Next, we've officially mainlined some of Sidekick's amazing skins, as well as gotten a new one from him for Hera. Look forward to more!

Now, like Atlas, Marina and Garret will grab your head when you fellate them in pose 2 once they're pent up enough.

We've done some more optimization and the game should run better now, especially for GPUs with lower VRAM. The lovense API has also been updated and should support their new toy now.

We've also done a ton of fixes!

Try it out, and give us feedback in the Discord!

and Thank you all patrons for your support. Anthro Heat couldn't exist without you!

Known Issues

Laser might not register with UI sometimes, possible fixes are: Game restart, by setting the game window to focus by clicking on it, or by alt-tabbing (let me know if this still happens, I may have fixed it)

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 at any part in the path. This includes characters from other languages.

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)

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

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.
