Tactical Assault VR v0.9.22 | HIGH ROF / Performance Update
Hey everyone,
I know, "slow is smooth, smooth is fast"... but c'mon... not at 15 FPS!
We've been busy prioritizing fixes for performance issues and game-breaking bugs. You'll find the game running a lot smoother, faster, and much better optimized.
Optimizations aren't finished yet; more issues need attention, and we will address them over time. However, with major bugs out of the way, we can finally return to working on the fun stuff: new content!
Speaking of fast and new content... check out these new additions!
MG3 LMG
(by Puddle_NL)
Introducing the newly added MG3. Famous for its blistering cyclic rate of fire, it delivers unparalleled suppression capabilities and battlefield lethality.

USP40
(by Puddle_NL)
The USP40 is legendary for its military-grade reliability, match-grade accuracy, and sophisticated recoil-reduction system, allowing for quick trigger pulls and recovery.

I heard your feedback regarding the new leaning system and it was mostly NEGATIVE! Some of you were ok with it, some of you were confused by it and the rest of you HATED it.
But thanks to you, your sass and our private community testers using up all of their monthly bandwidth, having to download gigabytes of private builds, the new leaning system has been revamped! You now have several options on how you'd like to utilize the new avatar leaning system.
Hate it? Disable it.
Want to use your head tilt angle to enable avatar leaning? Set it and adjust your head tilt degree limit in the settings.
You actually liked using Joystick-Click to enable and disable leaning? Set it to the original joystick click method in the settings.
A small amount of limited joystick movement is allowed while avatar leaning, just enough to fine tune your lean position. Joystick movement, while leaning, is limited to a certain distance and speed (slow) before leaning is canceled.
Avatar leaning cannot be enabled while moving past a certain speed.
Tactical Assault VR v0.8.73
• Updated Leaning with added Lean Control Method settings in Settings menu (Head Tilt, Joystick Click, Disabled)

Another patch, another reminder to update your game!
All previous versions of Tactical Assault VR prior to v0.8.7 will no longer support multiplayer.
So please, update if you'd like to continue playing multiplayer and enjoy all of the newest features...
Speaking of new features, LEANING?
Tactical Assault VR v0.8.72
• Added: Lean State. Lean/Peak around corners by toggling the lean state (Movement Joystick-Click). Players cannot move while in the lean state. The avatar will lock its feet position to allow the player to lean. Toggle lean off (Movement Joystick-Click) to continue movement. Leaning is canceled when going prone or leaning too far out to avoid HeeHee moments.
Note: Due to conflicts with the run button, if your movement speed is NOT set to auto-run, hold Movement Joystick-Click down for 0.5 seconds to enable lean state. If your movement speed is set to auto-run, simply click down Movement Joystick-click to toggle Leaning.
• (Quest) user reporting now available. Press Right-Hand Menu button > Report Abuse > Type in username. Due to a high volume of reports (real and fake) please follow up on your report, reason and proof, through the Tactical Assault VR Discord. Reports with no reason and proof will be ignored.
