Update


(trickykungfu) #21

hmm no update for ages. I was thinking of a major update with complete new maps XD shame


(PixelTwitch) #22

My assumption is that even if they have new maps they would not give us with a big update like this.
The reason being that they are tracking all this data… The best way to test these changes with a good comparison is to have a similar/known map to test the changes on. This would give them a point of reference right off the bat. This is also the reason I do not expect to see many map changes released until the stats show that design tweaks are either NOT working or working fine. While the game is in flux though big changes like these any time changing/adding new maps could end up being wasted… At the very least not until they change/tweak the respawn system and movement system is finalised.

Again, ASSUMPTION!

Where do you have this information from Nail?


(PixelTwitch) #24

The Nexon forums where it was posted originally.
The update news came from the @DirtyBomb twitter.

Impressive list ! Lots of work had been done Me who thought you were all gone in vacation …Ok go now ! :stuck_out_tongue:

It wasn’t true, they just didn’t want to release an update with game crashing bugs.

I see as good thing because generally crashes start to happen when you make bigger changes, and it’s nice to know that they’re not scared to keep making the big changes.

looks like a meaty update looking forward to trying it


(Glottis-3D) #28

sounds realy nice.


(k1ruaa) #29

Hoping for big improvements regarding spread/gunplay.


(Kl3ppy) #30

so, every merc now can revive?


(spookify) #31

• New Global Ability – Help Up: All characters are now able to revive Incapacitated allies with this ability, usable via the Use key. This takes 5 seconds, prevents you from using your weapon and revives the ally with minimal health. Best used if the Medic’s been Incap’d, and there’s no one else around who can heal him.

What about other Medics??? LAWL at this… I see you want to keep the game moving on these very small maps huh…
I guess it does put an importance on gibbing…Maybe with the spread tweaks it will actually be worth gibbing…

• Fixed an issue on the front-end for low spec PC’s where the performance would slowly degrade until the game eventually crashes.

This should also help with high end PCs too right?

Design

•Reworked damage modifiers for hitting different body parts to make killing players feel more consistent. (The damage dealt for a shot in the foot and a shot to the head now has a smaller difference in damage).

Humm… Really?

•Reworked how automatic weapon bullet spread behaves, generally tighter.
•Weapon spread bloom and recover rates now behave more consistently across all weapons.
•Increased weapon falloff ranges, increased minimum damage at max distance.

Will be fun to test and what we have been asking for…

•Movement speed is now affected by the weapon/item held in hand.

Knife = Run fast! YES!

Questions:

Was the mouse lag fixed or do we still need to do that Rawinput crap?

Should I test with or with-out my SLI on? Or both to try it?

That was a lot to read but did I miss greater penalties for a death aka long spawn times?


(BomBaKlaK) #32

More capture zones ? Really ? Meh …


(Nail) #33

more news:

“Maintenance will be extended by an additional 4 hours. We are now scheduled to be live at 3:00pm PDT, 6:00 pm EDT, 10:00pm GMT
Thank you for patience!”

btw, I get this from Facebox not twits r us


(Ruben0s) #34

Ahh that’s a shame. Looked forward to test the new patch, seems like I will have to wait till next week.


(Ninjatomte) #35

Ah thanks for keeping us updated Nail :slight_smile: And thanks Mustang for sending me here :wink:


(PixelTwitch) #36

dont know about you guys but I just downloaded the patch,


(Ruben0s) #37

I did as well, but I can’t play the game :wink:


(prophett) #38

How? When I click update it says “dirty bomb is currently unavailable”. It would be nice to preload.


(Ceres) #39

Keep trying, it will eventually say the same thing but you will start updating.
Start the game through the launcher though.
