Hey Dinosaur Hunters!

We have a brand new update for Turok available now

```New Features:
- Support for high refresh rates.
- Improved controller functionality and vibration support.
- Localized Achievements.
- The Brachiosaurus from a Turok beta rom has been found and recovered. You’ll find these dinos stomping around in the Treetops level.
- You can now swap ammo types for the Tek Bow and Shotgun whenever you want, just like Turok 2.
- The Run/Walk toggle button has been added from the original game. By moving at walking speeds on the ground, you can get closer to enemies from behind before they notice you.
- You can now bind multiple weapons to the same button to cycle between them.
- Restored the High Priests homing blue magic attack and the Purlins unused leap smash melee attack.
- Restored the Gallery cheat code with the addition of viewing the Bosses and Turok. You can also preview animations on each of the enemies.

New Menu Options:
- You can reset menu options to default with the "Reset to Defaults" menu option.
- The Input Bindings menus now shows icons instead of text.
- Added binds in Action Bindings menu for Changing Ammo Type and Walk Toggle.
- Controller Options: Look Smoothing, SouthPaw (Swap Sticks), Enable Vibration and Intensity, DeadZones.
- Gameplay Options: Radial Fog, Player Shadow, Enable Walk Toggle, Enable Change Ammo
- Head Bobbing Options: Added strafe and jump bobbing options and you can now adjust the scale of how much the screen is tilted for each bobbing option.
- HUD Options: Automap Show Player, Automap Show Compass, Show All Health Stats (Shows health when you have Armor), Show Alt Ammo, Flash Intensity, Shake Intensity, Horizontal Positioning of the HUD.
- Graphic Options: Always Show Lens Flares, Antialiasing: SMAA, FXAA, FXAA Fast, Off
- Audio Options: Master Volume, Audio Output, Low-Pass Filtering, Enable Underwater Music, Ambient Environment Sounds
- Save file level names are now localized. The most recent save file is marked in green. The date displayed is now in the format yyyy/mm/dd hhmmss.

Fixes:
- Improvements to the font.
- Fixed animated textures skipping the first frame.
- Enemies that have been blown up into air are now able to fall off cliffs and float/sink in water.
- Fixed the red and orange Attack Robots from having a huge melee hit radius and removed their random explosion effect being spawned during certain animations.
- Reduced the frequency enemies will teleport and their animation is updated right away while teleporting in so you won't see them pop in for a frame at the start of their animation.
- Enemies that are waiting to be triggered can no longer be damaged or killed.
- Fixes to enemy headtracking.
- Simple shadows take into account the fog when they are drawn. Fixed shadows appearing briefly at the start of enemies dropping from the sky. Fixed shadows drawing on top of other shadows.
- The Purlins melee attacks no longer play ambient bird sounds.
- Enemies no longer stutter in place when they're in their initial animation and transition to a root motion animation.
- Enemies are no longer removed from the map if they can respawn when the player moves far away from them.
- Enemy grenades can impact more surface types instead of just disappearing on impact.
- Bosses are now affected by the difficulty setting and have a modifier for the damage they receive similar to regular enemies, to match the original version.
- Humvee can no longer be knocked back when damaged and will restore its death state animation correctly when respawning in the arena. The Humvee can be knifed again allowing (glitchless) knife only playthroughs. The wheels no longer spin forever when destroyed and certain sound file paths have been fixed with underscores instead of single quotes.
- Fixed Longhunter from being damaged during his non fight states.
- Restored Campaigners original behavior with the weapons that can damage him and what weapons get removed from the player. Additionally you will now see your weapons get taken from you and destroyed.
Plus more fixes

Due to the nature of the update change, we do regret that old save files will no longer work with the updated engine. You can go back to the Legacy version by opting into the Kex3 branch on Steam. However Steam Cloud has been disabled for the old version.

We hope you enjoy the update!

Hello everyone,

A small update for Turok is now available. It should resolve the crashing experienced in the Mac OS when encountering the first "Purlin" monster in the game.

The error wasn't causing the Windows version to crash but we fixed it anyway!

Thank you for your patience while we tracked the problem down.

Hello Turok fans.

We are happy to announce that the Mac OS X version of Turok: Dinosaur Hunter is now available for purchase!

Not only does the Mac version come with the latest update (Update #3) but we're putting out that same update for Windows too!

Here are the patch notes:

• Music system now uses SDL_Mixer (addresses a lot of issues and bugs with the current music playback thread)
  
• Fixing a bug for flying insects making sounds while regenerating
  
• Fix for respawning on levels that's not tied to hubs
  
• Fix critical heap corruption error when loading the splash screen
  
• Prevent crash if walking into secret sector but map isn't tied to a hub
  
• Collision tweaks and optimizations. Ensure objects stay inside sectors and somewhat improved wall radius collision detection.
  
• Default to default RHI shader during material initialization. Prevents random crashes from occurring.
  
• Setting up system for workshop support and user mods.

In other news, we have been very busy behind the scenes getting the editor and workshop support available to you guys to play around with and create your own stuff. It should be available very soon.

If you encounter any problems with the Mac OS X build, be sure to leave us a note describing the problem in this forum thread and we'll look into it.

Hello everyone,

An update for Turok is available now. It contains the following fixes:

Changelist for 12/18/2015

• Safeguard checks for initializing video. Will fall back to starting the game in windowed mode if it is unable to create a window for fullscreen mode
  
• Head bobbing options implemented
  
• Possible fix for a crash when loading a level or loading from a save file
  
• Tremor effects no longer affects the player's velocity (won't be doing short hops)
  
• Animation speeds for AI on Hard and Hardcore difficulties have been toned way down
  
• Changing the difficulty in the gameplay menu now automatically updates all active AI, where before they would change their behavior only after revisiting the level (which was a bug).
  
• Fixed crash with moving platforms in level 8 bonus stage.
  
• Several minor updates to levels (wood pillars in Jungle all moves down rather than moving up. Looks silly with extended draw distance enabled as they all look like they're floating).
  
• Clamped XY coordinates in light scatter shader. This fixes very bad rendering artifacts caused by the shader in certain graphics drivers.

Head Bobbing Options
This menu can be found in Options->Gameplay->Head Bobbing Options. The following options are:

• Head Bobbing - Toggles all bobbing while walking/running on ground and jumping.
  
• Turn Bobbing - Toggles the rolling of the view camera when turning (on land and in water).
  
• Adjust View To Slopes - Toggles your view being aligned to the floor surface that you're standing on.
  
• Underwater Bobbing - Toggles all bobbing related to being on water and underwater.

AI Updates

• The timing on how long it takes for AI to respawn has been heavily re-factored now. It will take roughly 15-30 seconds for them to begin fading out and another 10-15 seconds for them to begin respawning. Its still randomized but there should be a longer delay before they start respawning though it really depends on their configuration in the levels.
  
• The speeds of the AI has been lowered for the harder difficulties and they will be instantly updated if the difficulty option has been changed in the gameplay menu. The issue with them not updating until that level was revisited has led to a lot of confusion regarding to the broken nature of the AI and speed of the game.

Everyone at Night Dive Studios appreciates your patience while we track down and solve these issues. Enjoy the game!
