BC2VR 0.1.9 — Opening knife hotfix (pre-alpha)

BC2VR 0.1.9 — physical knife hit hotfix

The opening knife can now reach the game's native target acquisition and damage path. This is a pre-alpha gameplay fix, not a claim that the campaign is playable end to end.

• Fixed two checks that rejected valid physical knife stabs in the opening mission.
• In a bounded opening-mission test, an emulated tracked-controller stroke acquired a target and produced a native damage callback with a health decrease. A later stroke completed a miss and rearmed. The game then displayed “Two down. About a thousand to go.”
• Includes the 0.1.8 install-drive audio-cache and startup-error fixes. Settings, prepared assets and the previous installed version remain available when updating.

Known limits: human headset handling has not been retested for this fix. Death/reload crashes remain unresolved; full-campaign progression, all weapons and long-session stability are unverified.

Close BC2, enable Include pre-alpha hotfixes, then use Check for updates → Install update. For a new install or recovery, download BC2VR-Setup-0.1.9.zip, extract it, keep the inner runtime ZIP intact, and run Install.cmd. For an existing install, choose the launcher folder containing active.json.

Both architectures passed 293 C++ suites. The installer reuses the validated launcher/dependency files and exact tested runtime package. No game assets are distributed. Feedback remains local until you choose to share it.
