DEMO PATCH NOTES - v1.1.0Microphone CustomizationYour microphone is now configurable in-game! No more messing with your windows settings. Just select your mic and get yapping. For the nerds out there who might be interested, this change necessitated supplanting Steam's voice APIs with an open source audio compression codec called Opus. We are also anticipating more stable audio connections with this change.DirectX SupportWhen launching Haunted Heist, you will now have the option to launch the game using either Vulkan (default) or DirectX as your graphics API. If you are experiencing graphical issues with the game, we still recommend ensuring your graphics card drivers are up to date.
