xREL.v3

Update 3:
•Fixed an issue where character dialogue would play too frequently at higher frame rates.
•Fixed an issue where the red bar on the ARS suit would fail to display correctly.
•Fixed a flashing effect in certain visor cutscene sequences.
•Fixed issues where the SSAO would fail to work correctly, and adjusted the strength of the SSAO effect.
•Adjustment to health/AR recovery rates.

Update 2:
•Lock-on laser damage corrected for frame rate.
•Lock-on laser target lock-on timing corrected for frame rate.
•Fixed the sliding particle effect for frame rate.
•Fixed an issue where events would occasionally fail to trigger at high frame rates (e.g. the end of Act 1 Mission 6).
•Fixed animation issues when running towards the camera and firing/reloading with keyboard and mouse.
•Fixed an issue where scripted events would progress at the wrong speed at higher frame rates.
•Added “-audio 2” command line; enter the number of a specific audio device to force the game to use that rather than the default device (may help players with audio device issues).

Update 1:
We know some of you like your aspect ratios unlocked along with your framerates and resolutions.

We’ve therefore added some unsupported features that can be enabled by launching the game with the following command lines (the easiest way to do this is to right-click the game in the Steam library, select Properties, select General, select “Set Launch Options…”, and enter the commands).

•-unlockaspectratio

Removes the borders on the top/bottom or left/right of the screen in non-16:9 aspect ratios. Please note that Vanquish was originally designed to a 16:9 aspect ratio only, and as such, certain UI elements will be distorted with the lock disabled.

•-fov 80

Use a number between 40-120 to change the field of view. The game was designed for an FOV of 80 degrees, so errors may occur at other values.

•Fixed an issue with invincibility frame timing (which sometimes allowed the player to get hit more frequently at higher frame rates).
•Fixed an issue with health regeneration at higher frame rates.
•Fixed an issue when resetting to default on the options menu.
•Fixed an issue with video cutscenes skipping early for some players.
•Fixed an animation issue when sliding backwards and aiming using keyboard and mouse.
•Adjusted cutscene audio volume.

The patch also adds two more command line functions:
•-monitor 2 (or any number in a multi-monitor setup)

This will allow users to select which monitor to treat as the primary device, which will allow full screen exclusive to work on that display.

•-window

This will force the game to boot into windowed mode (which should help some players if the game is defaulting to an unsupported resolution).
