Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted’s November 18 Update Applies Version 1.40/1.400
New Features:
- [Steam] Remote Play Together is now supported! This Steam feature allows you to play our local multiplayer (Co-op and Vs.) with your friends online, as if you were in the same room.
- The same limitations of 2-player local multiplayer apply. Player 2 is required to use a controller
- Steam allows up to 4 people to connect to a Remote Play Together stream. We recommend limiting the enabled input devices (via the Steam Overlay Remote Play settings) to just allow 2 active players, as that is the maximum the game supports
- Please note also that this Steam feature relies on the host player’s internet connection speed for game stream performance and stability
-
Added Accessibility Features that can be toggled on via the Main Menu Options Menu:
- High Contrast Mode (high contrast visuals during gameplay to accommodate visual accessibility needs)
- Slow Speed (changes 1x speed to 0.5x game speed and reduces the faster speeds accordingly)
- Disable Screenshake (removes shaking effect on explosions and other areas)
- High Contrast Mode (high contrast visuals during gameplay to accommodate visual accessibility needs)
- Added Sun Vacuum / Magnet function to the game
-
Pressing Right Trigger/R2/ZR on Controllers or Spacebar on Keyboard activates the sun vacuum function, collecting all individual suns present in the level when activated. (Now you can spend more time on strategizing & execution instead of staring at the suns. Which we’ve heard isn’t good for your eyes)
-
-
Added additional Keyboard Hotkeys
- Tab cycles game speed
- 1-0 number keys selects and deselects Seed Packets during gameplay
