Includes a new equip and remove experience, boot-up and power-down sequences, and transitions between FPS and ship HUDs. Player Item Shard TransitionETC 2022-03-15With the introduction of fully persistent shards, items/ships that are left “in the open space” are bound to that shard until a player collects them and stores them into an inventory or parks a ship at a landing location. In order to provide a more frictionless experience we will implement a feature that automatically stores these ‘freely placed’ items from the shard when areas are streamed out, and places them into a different shard when the player logs into a new shard. This allows players to find their freely placed ships/items that are left in the open space regardless of which shard instance they are assigned during login. Player ReflectionETC 2022-07-08This feature assures the player will see a believable representation of their character when looking into a mirror or other reflective surface in first person view. Port Over Remaining Mesh RenderingETC 2021-08-27Porting all mesh-based rendering operation to Gen12. Probability Volume Encounter Density RefactorETC 2022-05-06Probability volumes are currently hard-coded and static.
