• By popular demand, you can now choose Smooth Turning as an alternative to the default Flick Turning.
• Try it out by going to the Options menu, clicking on the “VR Comfort” section, and setting “Turn Style” to “SMOOTH”.
• You can further adjust the “Smooth Turn Speed” value here (default 50%) to find what works best for you. This only has an effect when smooth turning is enabled.

Star Ranks Off by Default for New Players

Arm Sleeves Now Hide When Close to Player Eyes

• The sleeves on the player’s arms no longer show when brought close to the eyes.

New Full-View Sniper Scopes

• Added an option to render the sniper view directly in the scope.
• To enable, go to Options, choose the “Gameplay” section, and set “Scope Type” to “Realistic.”
• Added a new “Scope Resolution” option. Bumping this down can improve performance on some systems.

Sniper Rifle Zoom Button

• The button to adjust zoom levels on sniper rifles is now assigned to whichever hand is dominant, instead of always being set to the right hand. (Vive controllers keep the button on the right hand.)
