******************************************
DISCLAIMER: This is our first patch targeted at fixing the networking experience, and hopefully addresses most of the major issues encountered online. Please note that this version does not fix everything, but should improve things. In the meantime, we are extremely grateful to the individual at BlitWorks who worked day and night to improve the networking.
We are also currently working on rehauling the network desync interpolation code, to make the overall experience feel much better online. We hoped to get it in for this patch, but could not get it to a state that we were 100% confident with, and have decided to delay it for the next patch.
******************************************
Full Metal Furies - v1.0.3
NETWORK AND OPTIMIZATION BUG FIXES:
- Preliminary implementation of network handling between systems running at drastically different frame rates. This should significantly reduce the number of desync and disconnect issues experienced when players are playing at different fps. A more solid fix will be introduced with the new interpolation build in the next patch.
- Fixed bug where loading a checkpoint while playing online would sometimes trigger an arena upon start (hotfix).
- Fixed bug where players would sometimes stay invisible after getting hit or knocked down, preventing them from interacting with other players.
- Fixed some instances (but not all) where player animations would freeze on client computers.
- Fixed conversations not triggering in one or more clients.
- Fixed bug where quitting a 2-player game where both players have readied up, would put you in an empty camp.
- Fixed bug where client on NG+ would have their stage beaten even if they were playing a stage where host was not on NG+.
- Fixed bug where slow computers would cause fast computers to switch back and forth between screen transitions.
- Fixed multiple bugs where using the campfire would result in player disconnection.
- Fixed bug where players would occasionally start the game with a flag that disabled the PhysicsManager from applying gravity, resulting in them floating whenever they were airborne (knocked down or fighter jumping). This is the cause of the notorious "float-to-corners-of-screen" bug many people were reporting.
- Fixed bug where unsent messages could potentially result in an out-of-mem error, causing a crash to desktop.
- Fixed bug where cancelling the sniper shot with her grapnel would result in a permanent aimer (until she shot or grapnelled again).
- Join screen timeout reduced to 15 secs from 90 secs.
GAMEPLAY FIXES:
- Added even more comprehensive collision checks (hotfix).
- Fixed bug where players were earning an achievement at the end of the game at the incorrect moment (hotfix).
- Fixed bug where players would receive a message about their controllers constantly disconnecting (hotfix).
- Fixed bug where Sniper could Mine-Cancel her AWP shot (hotfix).
- Fixed bug where player previous position was incorrect when swapping classes (hotfix).
- Game now keeps a backup of save files in case they become corrupt (hotfix),
- Fixed crash bug with Chinese language file (hotfix).
- Made some minor fixes to some stages that prevented Triss from progressing through them properly when she had a certain item equipped (hotfix).
- Fixed bug where enemy buffers would sometimes teleport to an odd spot when bouncing off a wall.
- Updated some descriptions of equipment to more accurately reflect their stats (hotfix).
- Fixed bug where Black Mask enemies would have their bullets destroyed upon spawn when cast within a wall.
- Audio ducking is now disabled when entering the audio suboptions, to allow players to properly set their audio volume levels.
- Fixed bug where Engineer's aiming radius was too small when equipping certain weapons.
- Fixed bug where game would freeze if it was idle and a video was playing for longer than 5 seconds.
- Fixed bug where the HELP! speech bubble was not auto-resizing to fit different languages.
- Fixed bug where Fighter was taking damage to certain grounded projectiles even if she successfully countered.
- Fixed bug where PS4 controllers were being recognized as both an XInput and DInput device, resulting in the player manipulating two profiles at once.
- Native PS4 DInput support has been disabled to prevent conflicts with Steam's XInput wrapper. Players having issues with PS4 controller support will need to turn on PS4 Configuration in the Steam Controller settings.
- Fixed ExtendedInputIndex crash when non-DInput or Xinput devices were being recognized as controllers.
