Someone’s working late today, but much appreciated chaps!

Unmentioned changes?

  • Increased recoil (sadface)
  • Incapped animation (very nice, needs a little work though, sometimes the ragdoll doesn’t rollover onto it’s back)
  • Wall jumping nerfed (at least something feels weird with it, need to test more)
  • Frontend profile tab (good start, now if only I could have my per-match accuracy reported in the endgame menu)
(BomBaKlaK) #3

Impossible to launch … infinite loading (Edit : finally works)

(njezic) #4

Finaly, key bindings stored properly… :wink:

(BAMFana) #5

Config fix is great.

Stat tracking UI is in, but doesn’t seem to be tracking anything yet.

There’s nothing about it in the changelog, but it feels like you’ve adjusted walljumping? Some jumps that were previously trivial are now very difficult.

There’s a weird bug on canary, where a player inside the first objective building will die when a bomb at one of the doors explodes, even if standing on the opposite side of the room and taking no damage from the blast. What’s really weird about it, is that there’s no obituary and no death is recorded on the scoreboard either.

Having issues with this latest update… its keeps reverting some settings to what they where before the patch came out… even when I change them in the config or console they reset each map…

(Ceres) #7

Kept crashing the first two tries but launching from the Nexon Games library seems to work.

Thanks for the update
no patch notes about the new animations for downed players? Either way its a nice touch :smiley:
Hoping to see some big map updates / old maps put back into the rotation soon, maps are still the biggest issue right now I think, although i’m enjoying the game alot at the moment anyway

Had this happen as well on the same round. Was standing inside room next to the unblown left door as the right door blew. Died but no death recorded. Also the doors will blow but the danger sign decal remains floating in mid-air. I also had a weird instance when as Bushwhacker I couldn’t disarm the left door or fire until I switched to the pistol and back again.

Was a lot of warping from various players especially high-pingers making tracking ‘interesting’ (though Mustang was also jumping around a bit for some reason). A lot of instagibs escecially from and with Fragger for some reason (one-two shot body kills).

incapped animations are a must, combined with the dismemberment, no excuses anymore not to know who to revive. Also the profile tab will be interesting for the statistics. It’s something I wanted to see in-game for a long time

Thanks for the update & fixes.

Still waiting for the chat bugs fixes, such as unbindable backspace, as well as rightctrl, rightshift, rightalt swallowing first letter of chat.

Yes ! finally incap animations, they are great … for now it is hilarious to see players crawling and snailing trying to get onto their back ahah.
as already said appart for the too “small-corridor-no-interesting/enoughobjectives maps” i am rly starting to get hooked to the game, nice work !
ah and also i feel they dont get enough credit for their work but you got to tell the art team they are doing an amazing inspiring great job !

(Ninjatomte) #13
