Sniper Elite VR | Tuesday 13 July Patch Notes

July 13th 2021

Snipers, we continue to make our way through a number of issues raised by the Community over the last few days. Our latest Patch which is now live, addresses Oculus Quest specifically with the full patch notes listed below.

Full Quest Patch Notes:

  • Oculus have confirmed that they suffered an outage that affected all new installs from the store. This blocked some players from being able to install Sniper Elite VR following purchase. This should now be rectified.
  • Game progress and user options will no longer be affected if a player is experiencing the game for the first time without a Wifi connection
  • A small percentage of players could not start the game/proceed beyond the title screen, this has now been rectified.
  • Players will now be able to move against objects and look directly down without triggering the out of bounds functionality

  • We have now revised the tutorial for usage of Aim Focus and have added tutorial pages for pistols and SMGs

  • Holding two TNTs in both hands will no longer cause two stow point silhouettes to appear on either side of belt
  • In the ‘Resistance Base’ mission, the prompt to equip the weapon now appears correctly after reaching the location
  • When a player is navigating the scrapbook, the content of the 'Active loadout' will no longer appear and disappear when the player switches to the loadout page using the bookmark from every alternative page.
  • The non-scoped version of the Mosin Nagant, Lee Enfield, and Spring Field rifles are now available in their respective locations in the game
  • Difficulty screen will no longer be displayed consistently when pausing

  • A gap on the Springfield scope lens has now been fixed
  • Control layout now updates correctly when player changes 'Swap Movement Stick' option in the Controls Tab

  • Chest area stow point should now be clearer to the player
  • Further Explosive objects have now been added to the Resistance Base explosive range
  • On occasion, the belt would sometimes get twisted. A new system has now been implemented for estimating belt position based on head transform

  • Occasional drops to the frame rate has been resolved across multiple levels
  • Significant improvements have been applied to the visual quality by addressing multiple art issues relating to texture & LOD popping, collision and environment occlusion
