- SYREN EPISODE 2 RELEASED - 17 May 2017
Today we release "SYREN Episode 2: Operation Anomaly" this is a huge FREE update to Syren adding a whole new experience once you've finished the existing game. With the original SYREN we wanted to bring you a terrifying stealth adventure in VR, but with Operation Anomaly it's time for you to fight back with an arsenal of weaponry allowing you to tear through Darwin station one syren at a time. Along with this additional content we've been doing our best to optimise the main game and improve performance especially on lower end machines. So we're hoping this new release will be the best SYREN experience yet for everyone. This release constitutes version 2.1, and as always we'll be keeping a close eye on the community for any issues or improvements we can make. Everyone at Hammerhead thanks you for your support.

- SYREN v1.9 Control Options, Checkpoint & More - 24 February 2017
The biggest request from the community has been more controls options. This patch should hopefully help address this. The main menu and options screen now gives you more customisation options to change how aspects of the game controls, especially in free-locomotion. We're hoping that these additional options will help each of you customise the Syren controls to closer match your preferred way of interacting in VR. We've also added mid-level checkpoints in the first two levels to reduce frustration some players have felt having to repeat sections of the game. Full change list included below: ADDED: Added mid-level checkpoints to first two levels CHANGE: Added angle offset to Vive controllers to make hand position feel more natural ADDED: Rotation can now be switched between snapping, smooth and none ADDED: Experimental control scheme allowing objects to lock into hands ADDED: Movement sp…

- SYREN v1.8 Bug Fixes - 20 February 2017
This patch should address a wave of additional bugs that people have reported. Most of these are small fixes but there's a few critical things such as screen mirroring now working on Vive and the second mermaid no longer popping into existence.

FIXED: Server room mermaid popping into existence fixed FIXED: Vive screen mirroring now works FIXED: Mermaid respawn timers changed from 30 seconds to 5 minutes FIXED: Pause button no longer leads to empty space in title screen and tutorial rooms FIXED: Level 3 keycard now easier to pick up FIXED: Improvements to mermaid textures and lighting FIXED: Shower glass material in level 2 now showing correctly FIXED: Lighting in tutorial shooting range corrected FIXED: Som…

- SYREN 1.7 Oculus SDK + Bugfixes - 17 February 2017
We've got a new patch for the game to quickly address some of the more glaring issues people have reported along with adding an Oculus SDK version so the game should now run properly if you're using Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers.

Our top priority is obviously any and all bugs you guys are experiencing, however we've also seen a huge demand for more options in terms of how the free-locomotion controls work.

- SYREN 1.6 Resolution Patch - 16 February 2017
We've deployed our first update patch due to community feedback about the visual sharpness. We've upped the resolution settings for normal and high, as well as adding a new ultra setting. Our original setting were to try and give people the best possible frame-rates even on lower end cards so we were clearly being a bit too conservative with the rendering resolution to ensure that. Rendering resolutions are now: low - 75%, normal - 100%, high - 140%, ultra - 200%. In future patches we'll probably expose this setting more directly to users but for now we wanted to give you better resolutions immediately.

- Release coming ASAP - 15 February 2017
Despite the timer above we're not actually 100% sure when we're releasing. Were waiting for final approval from Valve but once that comes through we'll be setting the game live. Hopefully it should be within the next 24 hours. Sorry for the delay and we thank you for your patience.
