BLOOD WEST Chapter 2 - 2.3 Update

Gunslingers!

Today it will get a bit crowded in the changelog, but for the better of course. Some long awaited changes and updates are here, along with some minor fixes.

Changes:

• General gameplay optimization - Through the power of science and a bit of magic you can expect a 20-30 FPS boost on most machines.

• New Decal system - Previously blood spurts and splatters had a tendency to ignore laws of physics and geometry. Now they should adhere to nature’s laws. Additionally, we have increased the minimum time before blood splats disappear from 7 to 15 seconds.

• Reduced Loading times - This small series of fixes should reduce loading time by 70% (depending on the CPU of course).

• Backup saves - The game will now keep backups of 3 last saves. Save will be performed additionally on each player death and during resting.

• UI changes - Inventory will now state that double clicking on an item will result in selling / purchasing said item. This feature was already there, but we have decided to add a tooltip, so as to avoid troublesome situations.

• Winchester is now a Lever Rifle - God bless trademarks…

• Consistency updates - Items will now have the same color of name in the inventory and on tooltip while picking them up from ground also when traveling from chapter 1 to chapter 2 the stash will keep position / orientation of items stored there.

• Lip animations - Annabelle will now have proper lip animation when talking (after her mask has fallen off)

Balancing:

• Only one today - We have tweaked the stamina cost of melee weapons.

Bugfixes:

• Skin Collector will flee from the player when beyond reach or when the monster has no more heads to be thrown.

• Sometimes Rougarou failed to start to consume corpses.

• Golden ammo could be incorrectly applied to other weapons, when saving and reloading game.

• Purple Revival unlock feature will now persist after saving and reloading game.

• Fixed problem with Looter perk and picking up Molotov's from Scallywags.

• Sometimes additional perks for Chapter 2 were not unlocked correctly.

• Teleporting with Raven Skull will no longer apply falling damage.

• Golden bolt and Keen bolt were not applying bonus damage to the crossbow.

• Huge bags couldn't be opened while trading.

• Fixed some typos in English dialogues.

• Added missing audio for ignited dynamite after being thrown.

• Fixed mis-animation on trigger of the Buffalo Rifle and on string of the Crossbow.

• It is now impossible to kill Chapter 1 boss by throwing dynamite to the large open cave behind Fort.

• Fixed Vendigo pathing near the roots of Chapter 1 boss.

• Fixed sound volume prefix being played after leaving the sound volume menu while in-game.
