Impulse Wars has once again been revamped. The improvements of ramps and slope behavior should lead to more consistent gameplay now. We still have many variables that may be tuned live, but our goal is to find one set that feels good across all arenas which may require further re
Quite a few updates to Impulse Wars to improve the gameplay! Forward tank velocity no longer negates impulse missile power when on a slope or ramp. Forward tank velocity negates only on flat surfaces now. This reduces turbo from being OP as a defensive maneuver, since it is alrea
Mouse Aiming While it was never intended for Rezarus to be played like a modern first-person game, maybe the best course of action is to allow users to choose between a more modern control set and the retro keyboard only style mode. Thus, based on new user feedback, mouse control
VFX Graph GPU-driven particle systems can easily render 10 to 100 times more particles than CPUs (with the caveat that collisions are not as easily handled). Rezarus begins adding VFX support by adding VFX graph particle driven under the Ultra graphics settings for the following
Performance Fixes 1. ( UPDATE ) ALL : In the graphics settings the Volumetric Quality setting now better scales performance. Also, you may toggle off a certain reflection type that was recently added (SSR). For best performance, make sure volumetric quality is set to Low, SSR is
1. ( UPDATE / FIX ) VOICE : Added some local ordering and better detection of remote start/stop. This should improve some of the stuttering issues we've had so far.
Continuing testing of voice chat... 1. ( UPDATE ) VOICE : Added voice activation. You may now select between push-to-talk (now button V) or voice activation in the audio settings. Also added options to increase voice buffer sizes; if you hear others stuttering you may want to try
Build 0.8.25 - Voice Chat Added! 1. ( UPDATE ) ALL : VOICE added! For initial testing we are doing arena-wide push-to-talk (button B - will be bindable later). You will have the capability to mute your own microphone (if you have one), mute individual players, and adjust voice vo
1. ( UPDATE ) ARENA : Singularity updated with some caution tape to make it more obvious where the holes are. Some ramps have been added just outside base as well to prevent that area from being too much of a dead space. The floor texture has also been updated with lava. Ceiling
1. ( UPDATE ) IMPULSE : New arena Singularity added into the rotation for testing!
1. ( UPDATE ) IMPULSE : Destroying a tank in No Heal mode now also rewards +40hp. If you assisted a kill either via double or stolen ms/smash, you are still rewarded +20hp. If a friendly drone destroys a tank (and the kill is not awarded to a player), then all players on that col
1. ( UPDATE ) IMPULSE : Scorpion saves are now implemented! For these to work well, catching tanks in No Heal arenas no longer works. Saving rewards: your health resets back to its max, +2000 save bonus (on top of the +2000 air shot bonus), and tally to the scorpion saves on your
1. ( UPDATE ) ARENA : DecemX detailed. Please report any performance issues! Sats also now bob up and down, just as a small detail improvement while making them a little harder to shoot down. 2. ( UPDATE ) BASES : Touching your own base area pad now provides the same battery rech
1. ( UPDATE ) ARENA : ProjectX detail update. Please report any performance issues! 2. ( UPDATE ) IMPULSE : Attic rotated in. 3. ( UPDATE / FIX ) STEAM : Login error code 76 should happen less frequently now. If you still see it, please report it in the Discord channel!
1. ( UPDATE ) ALL : Kill verbs updates! Impulse Wars adds 'scorpion smashed by' and 'sniped by'. Phoenix wars adds 'sat down by' and 'sniped by'. Total Wars now adds 'wasted by' for mine kills. The new missile verbs are also tracked on the stat sheets and will only tally in regul
1. ( UPDATE ) ALL : Ghosting has been a persistent issue so more measures have been taken in attempt to prevent it from happening. The root cause of ghosting is still unknown as only some players experience the issue when it happens, and the trigger seems to have some randomness
1. ( UPDATE ) CONTROLLER : Rezarus now has the ability to bind all tank actions to Xbox Controllers and other similar devices with the same layout or scheme (like RoG-Ally). Total Wars CTF will still receive more updates to make it more controller friendly, but for now all games
1. ( UPDATE ) EVENT : Rapid fire missiles caused a screen flashing effect due the lens flare effect combined with rapid fire. During an event the lens flare effect is now disabled. 2. ( UPDATE ) EVENT : No longer saves weapon fired and hit stats as these may become heavily skewed
1. ( UPDATE ) EVENT : Impulse moon shots are now disabled during impulse events. 2. ( UPDATE ) ALL : Default grass density is now set to 0 so new users have better performance. The grass will eventually be updated to patches around the arena instead of just being laid out across
1. ( UPDATE ) PRACTICE : Purple bots now move in a manner that more closely resemble players (before this update they could turn at speeds that exceeded what players could do). Purple bots have also been updated to have ~50% more hp than blue bots, making them more challenging as
