Developer posts and news about this game.
This update fixes a crash that could happen randomly in the menus. It also adjusts parameters to reduce the chance of desyncs with high network jitter or pings up to 400ms. Hopefully that is enough for players to be able to join each other world-wide. Unfortunately, there's a tra
Fixes some Vulkan validation errors that might have caused crashes on some hardware. Fixes an issue where if a host of a private match exited to the lobby while in a corner they would bounce back into the match for a frame and spawn untouchable ghost balls in the next match.
This version pulls in the latest version of the World Fabric engine and fixes some issues caused by API changes. If you encounter any issues please report them in the Steam forum or on the Discord.
There was an unrelated engine update included in the last patch that caused new issues in Narball. Rolling back until I fix it.
This patch fixes a possible lock-up that could occur if a lot of events were issued at the same time (like when a match starts or on joining). I've also set the default V-sync value to off again. The toggle remains (and I personally get the smoothest experience with it on), but V
Adds a visible countdown timer to match start when joining a dedicated server (like via quick join). Adds a toggle v-sync button in options. Toggling v-sync will make very little difference for most people, but if you were locked at 30fps for no apparent reason, it might help.
This version changes the way Vulkan screen clearing is done, which should make it easier to hold 60fps on certain integrated graphics chips. Also fixes a rare thread deadlock.
A few more multi-threading related crashes have been fixed. This is still version v0.095 since these are all engine bugs, and the game code has not changed.
v0.093 Added a race condition for high frame-rates that could cause a crash when a match ends. This should fix it.
Minor timing adjustments should help with jitter for higher pings.
This update includes a variety of general engine upgrades that should reduce CPU load and improve the responsiveness of controls. No significant game-play changes.
The crash on close is finally fixed. It was the sound system all along. This patch also fixes some other possible crashes I found in testing but never in the wild. No gameplay changes in this version.
I've increased the base synchronization depth to make it possible to join players with pings up to 200ms without dropping actions. This will make it harder to get into games with over 1,000 balls, but I think it's more important to be able to play across the ocean.
The logic changes to prevent extra join calls from the patch earlier today sometimes caused the game to rejoin immediately after exiting a match because the pending joins weren't cleared properly from the queue. This has been fixed.
This patch reduces the controller dead zone for rotation, which should allow you to rotate with a finer precision than before. It's a small change, but some of you are getting good fast and may appreciate it. Bug fixes: Fixed a possible memory corruption when switching between me
Makes floating point math more strict and includes a windows math DLL for linux users that seems to fix desyncs in Proton.
This should fix dedicated servers showing zero players when there are actually players, which will also help the matchmaking because it will prioritize servers with players. Anyone hosting a standalone server will need to update their version or players with the newer version wil
Narball will be available for everyone on May 6th at Midnight PDT. The release version will have Steam P2P connections for private games with friends as well as support for dedicated servers and a simple form of quick-play matchmaking. Narball will be relying on the Steam matchma
