The studio provided a detailed breakdown of the changes in a comprehensive update, highlighting a series of core improvements developed over the past 18 months. Stress Level Zero describes these as “extensive under-the-hood changes” that have notably enhanced the game’s performance and overall experience.
The newly released ‘Patch 4’ update, available now for Quest and PC VR headsets, focuses on several key areas: improvements to the player rig, updates to the SDK, a complete overhaul of the Zone System, and an expanded array of spawnable assets for level creators. This update follows Patch 3, which was released in beta in February 2023 but never made it to a public release.
For Quest 3 users, the game now features 4x anisotropic filtering, improved foveated rendering, and a significantly increased texture cache. Detailed explanations of these enhancements can be found at the end of the article.
Additionally, the substantial Patch 4 update coincides with a noteworthy mod from ‘volx64,’ which integrates the entire Boneworks game into Bonelab. This mod allows players to enjoy Stress Level Zero’s previously PC VR-exclusive game on Quest for the first time, and at no cost.
