Penumbra VR Framework 1.0.8

Released 2026-10-16.

Black Plague interaction and progression

• Fix contact selection and native Examine/SaveArea routing without extending
  physical grabs through walls or replacing native scripted activation.
• Improve articulated prop acquisition, including the dog/altar sequence,
  bucket/container and handle, and the anchored arm puzzle. Jointed bodies
  retain native constraints, masses, limits and lifecycle.
• Prevent barrels from receiving the extra camera-directed impulse when a
  VR-owned Push is released. Correct offset-center-of-mass hinge motion so the
  wall lever reaches its native puzzle activation threshold.
• Activate fixed computer terminals from their native usable range. Their HPL
  GUI cursor and popup buttons now receive tracked pointer and native mouse
  press/release events, including the incoming-call Answer button.

Readability and presentation

• Center Examine/gameplay messages horizontally and as a complete vertical
  block, with twice the native font size and line spacing. Preserve native
  wrapping metrics, text, fades, black-text mode and shadow layers.
• Hide equipped flashlight/glowstick geometry during UI rendering and restore
  its exact visibility afterward. Equip and light state are preserved; headset
  confirmation of this presentation change remains separate.
• Keep the existing user SubtitleScale setting and native radio/menu text
  behavior. Include bounded computer pointer/click diagnostics for reports.

The maintainer accepted the focused prop/puzzle corrections, computer reach,
cursor/Answer and enlarged centered text on the local candidates identified in
the acceptance record. This does not imply
full-game, other-device or exact new-Setup headset acceptance. Overture and
Requiem have versioned packaging updates with no new gameplay changes.

Download PenumbraVR-Setup-1.0.8.exe.
Close the games before updating. The installer retains recorded component
selections, original-file backups and settings under its existing ownership
rules. Matching source, dependency sources, SHA-256 checksums and build report
are provided with the installer.

Broader articulated contact, initial dog acquisition, low-obstacle/leaning world
correction, flashlight attachment and equipped-light menu visibility remain
focused regression gates. The physical-only attribution and step-normal changes
have host evidence; they do not close low-obstacle traversal. Requiem's
intermittent startup cause, Index finger feedback and independent clean-PC or
other-controller validation remain open.
