Heat 0.4.6.2 Milestone - Massive engine update, Character/naughty bit scaling, Atlas playerbody

Whew, we finally did it - we updated Unity. This is something that's been on the backburner for a while and has always been scary, but it wasn't so bad in the end. This could have been a big problem because it messes a lot with the VR backend, so hopefully no one has any problems there.

Updating Unity allowed us to finally scale the characters, which seems like a weird requirement for something so simple, but it had to be done due to various compatibilities between Unity packages. It's also necessary for a future Quest 2 standalone build, if that's even possible.

Other than that, there's a ton of fixes and other additions, including an Atlas playerbody. Check out the full changelog below!

Wishlist us on Steam!
If you missed it, we have a steam page now! We're not releasing there anytime soon, but wishlisting will help us with a lot with the metrics when we do. Users in Germany can't do this, sorry.

The Lovense 60% off promo is still on for another 9 days, check it out if you want a Heat-compatible toy!

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
• 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)
