Heat 0.5.7.1 Milestone (hotfixed) - Riley dialogue, Suckable Atlas, Atlas Reindeer skin, optimizations (Patreon)
Content
EDIT: Hotfixed grab issue, atlas posing, and vertex performance
Say hello to a festive Atlas reindeer skin. He's got a big present for you~ We've set it to default for the holidays!
Our bratty fox is getting dialogue! He's been a bad boy, so make sure to put him in his place~. He's voiced by Lance Hall!
We've also, finally, made Atlas suckable by other characters. We can add the hours this took to the ~40+ hour tally that we've specifically had to spend on Atlas' cock over the years, cuz he's just so damn big.
We've also significantly reduced the game's filesize (and VRAM usage) by reducing the size of some textures that didn't need to be so large. The visual quality loss should be imperceptible.
For those who don't know, we take the last 2 weeks of December off every year for some much needed rest and recuperation. As a result the milestone is earlier this month!
I hope everyone has great holidays! We'll see you next year!
Thank you all patrons for your support. Anthro Heat couldn't exist without you!

Known Issues
Laser might not register with UI sometimes, possible fixes are: Game restart, by setting the game window to focus by clicking on it, or by alt-tabbing (let me know if this still happens, I may have fixed 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.
