Heat 0.6.1.2 Milestone - Sasha + Experimental playerbody overhaul

Sasha is here!

Sasha the white tiger is here!

This time we've got a tomboy who's ready to party! She loves punk rock and video games! She's voiced by https://twitter.com/TemptyVA!

There's also been a huge overhaul to the possession and fullbody systems. You now fully possess an existing character instead of a player avatar.

PLAYERBODY AND POSSESSION WILL BE IN A ROUGH STATE THIS MILESTONE

Unfortunately these changes weren't fully ironed out before the end of the month, so they're likely to be a bit rough! These changes are necessary for multiplayer in the future.

Needless to say, Sasha and Jasper are different species and not related to one another in any way. They're just made from same model.

Thank you all for your support. Anthro Heat couldn't exist without you!

How to run Heat (Remember you need SteamVR to run the game in VR, and 7zip(recommended) or WinRAR to unpack 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 at any part in the path. This includes characters from other languages.

• Webroot, and rarely other antiviruses falsely flag the game and will delete its files without telling you anything. Make sure they don't do that

• 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)

• Press P to switch to 2D mode and L to switch to VR mode on your keyboard

• If your hands don't work, reset SteamVR bindings for the game. If you can't do this, launch the game from the .exe, not from the Steam shortcut

• 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)

• Make sure the game isn't installed within any folders that have winky faces or other unusual characters in them at any part in the path. This includes characters from other languages.

• If you have trouble with Lovense connections, watch the pinned video in the Lovense channel on the Discord.
