Version 0.47.X
🕑 Added 2021-03-31 23:53:01 +0000 UTCThis version introduces a new and trendy tech, among many other tweaks and fixes (and inevitably, maybe some new bugs):
- VR support! Right now very basic and with lots of room for improvement. Other than the hardware being mandatory for this feature, you will need SteamVR installed as the interface. Not tested on anything but Windows yet. You may enable it by clicking on its respective button on the game's action bar at the bottom of the screen. While on VR, a "wrist" menu can be brought up, similar to VRchat, by pressing on the menu button on your left controller. For those without VR hardware: Don't panic! This game will always be primarily focused on standard input, and you can still play this version and future ones as usual.
- Genie drone AI expanded, now allowing hunting genies to use teleport runes and to loose track of their prey if they run out of sight. Interaction dialogues with affected NPCs have also been added, albeit not yet flavoured (as in, varied in personality) for each of the core characters.
- Genie "love" no longer curses other characters, but will still transform them if they are showered by it. I'll let you think of creative ways to do that.
- Added cave shortcut between Celik's circle and the Inn.
- New (or rather, official) floating islands at Lake Valley.
- Teleportation runes now have an animation, and will spend mana upon use; standing near other runes while teleporting will consume less mana than teleporting from the middle of nowhere.
- Transformations in general should now synch during multiplayer.
Patch 0.47.1
- Fixes SteamVR detection freezing the game (and Steam...) when a player accidentally enables VR without actually having the hardware installed or ready.
- Fixes some online game issues where players get randomly kicked out.
- Fixes tooltip offset.
- Fixes fantasizer button.
- Fixes equipment sets on the inventory.
- Adds an unstuck free-mana "teleport to start" button to the UI.
Patch 0.47.2
- Fixes "endsex" console commands
Patch 0.47.6
- Fixes critical server lag issue.
- Couple of features (bulbuous nose style, new genie charm cinematic, sword and attack animation preview) from the upcoming version might be found in this version, but they will be logged respectively in its own article, as they will likely be more polished then.

It could be that you're connecting when Buo is having power outages. Or it could be you're not on the latest version. The servers are configured to only let in the latest version of the game to avoid compatibility problems.

Wierd. Bolt isn't transforming in this version. He just puts on a towel.

So I got real excited and tried out the VR for the Valve Index and unfortunately, the controls as is don't work. I'm left staring at my character and only able to open and close the menu. I can't move the character or interact with anything. I can open the menu but nothing I click on activates and I can't even exit VR without doing it from SteamVR which also exits the game.

I'm not saying I bought an Index just for this, but I will say after I saw this announcement I got one.
Do your controllers work? My character runs away like crazy when I use keyboard cursors. I can make him do some nice keyboard and console stuff at front of me, too ;) Jump, duck and more. Is there any controller or console setup so that you can follow your running character? I assume that the cut scenes in VR need more time. It is hot anyways!

Might be too late but I've found the Quest 2 to be a great bang for the buck

Me, yesterday: "Okay, after two weeks of research, I've decided to not buy a VR headset. A good-quality one will eat into my savings a bit more than I'm comfortable with. And, ultimately, there's just not anything that I feel the *need* to play." Me, now: "...Dammit." *grabs credit card*

A wonderfully unexpected update with VR!! Just tried it out & its a fantastic start.....It was amazing to see my character in full 3D. It is of course limited, but I'm so excited to see where this goes!! Thank you Hogs!
