Hello chefs! Here comes a regular maintenance update to Cook-Out.

• Upgraded the game engine.

Ho-ho-hold the lettuce and pass the turkey and mashed potatoes!

For a limited time during the holiday season, the cabin will have its halls decked with seasonal decorations and the Creative mode will offer delicious holiday meals and recipes, and even a special visit from ole Santa himself -- and his reindeer pals of course! So put on your holiday aprons and get ready to fill St. Nick and his friends’ bellies during a quick break from their gift-delivering journey.

• Added a seasonal holiday theme! Enjoy the snowy season with updated environments and a festive soundtrack!
  
• Meet Santa and his reindeer in Creative mode!
  
• Restored the word "cheese" that had mysteriously vanished from all recipe names and hints.
  
• Improved the fidelity of the lighting in the cabin.

Hello Cook-Out fans!

To make it easier for the dev team to pinpoint the cause of issues in the game going forward, this patch 1.15.1 adds additional error tracking to the game.

Please submit a support request to us https://resolutiongames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new if you face any issues in the game, to make it easier for our dev team to help you and improve the game.

• Added additional error tracking.
  
• Fixed player rotation being offset slightly to the left after recentering.
  
• Fixed Spender achievement not being awarded on Steam.
  
• Fixed French being used instead of Spanish in the user reporting menu.

If you're using Steam Link on any of the Meta Quest headsets and can't get Cook-Out past the "Next Up" step on the headset (see the screenshot above), so that it only runs on your main monitor, the cause is likely that you don't have SteamVR set as you current OpenXR runtime. This post will give you some background on this issue and show you how to fix it.

Cook-Out uses OpenXR which means that it can and will run with any OpenXR runtime on your computer. Which runtime is used can't be controlled by the game. Rather, whatever runtime is set as the current OpenXR on your computer will be used.

The Oculus PC client will give you an explicit warning if it isn't set as your current OpenXR runtime, with a button to set is as such. Hence, most Quest users using the Quest with their PC will most likely have Oculus set as their current OpenXR runtime.

This is fine when running the game using Meta Quest Link as it will work with both the Oculus client and SteamVR. Steam Link only works with SteamVR however which means that you will need to set SteamVR as your current OpenXR runtime instead.

To set SteamVR as you current OpenXR runtime, you must:

1. Run SteamVR

2. In the STEAMVR window on your computer, click ≡ in the upper left corner followed by Settings in the dropdown:

3. In the SteamVR Settings window, go to the OpenXR tab and click SET STEAMVR AS OPENXR RUNTIME:

(For older versions of SteamVR, this option can instead be found under the Developer tab after clicking Show under Advanced Settings)

When SteamVR is set as your current OpenXR runtime, your SteamVR settings should look as follows:

At this point, you should be able to start the game using Steam Link without any issues.

If you ever set Oculus or any other OpenXR runtime as you current OpenXR runtime after this, you will need to revisit this guide to set SteamVR as your current OpenXR runtime again before you can run Cook-Out through Steam Link again.

Re-release of: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1523720/view/3747617344196555414

• Minor improvements for user reporting and (anonymous) tracking.
  
• All saved progress, from game versions other than the one linked above, is kept intact.

This patch reverts the previous patch from last week (https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/games/1523720/announcements/detail/3747617344196555415) completely.

As reported by users, the previous patch resulted in seemingly lost in-game progress, for which we are deeply sorry.

We can confirm however that all save data still remains intact; the location where it's stored has simply changed. We have therefore released this temporary reversion patch to allow you to access your old save from before the previous patch again. Any save data from after said patch is however unavailable now instead.

Thank you all for your patience!

* This update fixes yet another couple of issues with multiplayer performance.
