Unity 5

We've finally upgraded to Unity 5. This means there are likely several new bugs we haven't found yet, so please report any issues or differences you encounter over on our forums. This may improve performance for some of you as well.

User Feedback & Improvements

• Improved enemy hit detection (enemies are easier to jump on)
• Improved wall jumping (easier to wall jump from more surfaces)
• Ability to view Steam profiles for players on the leaderboards
• New monkey bars/hanging player animation
• New music added during level reveals
• Advanced graphics options should no longer reset themselves
• Improved pushing physics for Heart of the Sandpit Medallion
• Fixed bug if Magnet was purchased as the first item
• Fixed several places with broken level geometry
• Added support for several additional usb controllers

Linux/Ubuntu/Steam Machines Crash Workaround

If you're experiencing a crash on startup, try launching Poi with the "-force-opengl" launch option. This seems like an issue with Unity 5 that we're working to resolve. Steam Machine: Manage Game > Set Launch Options... > -force-opengl Linux: Right click Poi in Steam > Set Launch Options... > -force-opengl And finally, a big Thank You to all of YOU, our Early Access players who continue to support us! Sincerely, - Ben & Paul
