Endnight Games’ The Forest finally launched in VR last week, though very much in an experimental phase. Some of the issues players have been having are addressed in a just-released patch, though.

For the second patch to The Forest’s VR beta Endnight has incorporated plenty of ideas and suggestions from the community. There are simple fixes to make the survival game a little more intuitive, like adding a laser pointer to menus to make it easier to select options, and bringing in indicators to show you how long you need to hold a button to pick up an item. One of the most-requested features, controller-based direction for movement, is also included now too.

Other fixes make The Forest more immersive in VR. There’s a new physical crouching option, for example, allowing you to simulate sneaking through the game’s wooded world. Moving a lighter next to a campfire will light it meanwhile, and the overall feel of firing a bow and arrow has been improved. Full release notes are below.

It’s a nice update, though there’s still plenty more work to be done on the game. For starters, the game’s cooperative multiplayer options still aren’t included in the VR beta, and we’re looking forward to their eventual integration. We’ll bring you full impressions once the game is in a more complete state.
