Changes
We’ve heard you and we’ve nerfed enemy detection ranges across the board to get them more in line with old values. No more enemy spotting you across two compounds. Or that pesky Spirit noticing player from across the map. We will continue to monitor your response and adjust this in the future if needed.

Bug fix
Fixed few more issues with 21:9 aspect ratio

Patch 1.7.20 adds the first version of a new tutorial area to Haven

We have started on adding a new tutorial area dug into the bowels of the temple in Haven. We felt that the current tutorial no longer reflects the general philosophy behind the game very well. It actually even might build the wrong expectations.

The new tutorial area is far from complete or perfect; it has not yet replaced the old tutorial. But at some point in the future it will!

Gameplay Changes

• Adds a first version of a new tutorial area accessible from the temple in Haven.
