Hello Clone Jockeys.
We’d like to thank you all for playing DEATHSPRINT 66 – we are listening to your feedback and are working hard on delivering the best experience possible.
Today we’re releasing our first hotfix, based on the community feedback and reports we've received so far. Your feedback helps us make the game better, so please keep them coming.
This hotfix will be going live at 2PM BST, so there may be a brief interruption in play. You will need to restart Steam and download the update when it goes live.
- The time between EMP’s being in the ability pool after use has been doubled.
Dev Comment: "We heard your feedback on how often the EMP was being used during races, especially on certain maps. To help reduce any frustration we have now doubled the time between the EMP being in the ability pool, meaning you should encounter it just a bit less."
- The Mag Shield has been tweaked to stop players from achieving infinite speeds, but still allow them to go very, very fast.
Dev Comment: "The Mag Shield was designed to allow players to catch up and go fast, but currently players are going too fast, leading to some unbelievable lap times and unintended behavior. We have now capped the speed that the Mag Shield can reach which will prevent players achieving infinite speeds, while still being very fast."
- As a result, leaderboards are being wiped.
Dev Comment: "As a result of the changes to the Mag Shield we are introducing today, we have made the tough decision to wipe the leaderboards. We understand that some players may be disheartened by this, but we don't make this decision lightly. We want to ensure everyone has a fair and level playing field to compete for those top leaderboard spots. We do want to stress, however, that this is a one-off occurrence due to the extreme effect of the Mag Shield change, and we do not intend to frequently wipe leaderboards."
- Fixed a crash that can happen while on the spectator screen.
- Fixed an issue where if a player leaves during the post-match screen, the successive battle will have an extended lobby timer.
- Further increased the priority of sessions with higher player counts to improve matchmaking. This may slow down matchmaking just a touch but will result in a better gameplay experience with more players.
Dev Comment: "We have heard feedback about the length of time between matches and are looking at all areas of our matchmaking system. These fixes will improve the time between games, and we will continue to monitor feedback."
- Added a separate option to toggle motion blur within the options menu.
Dev Comment: "We heard your requests for a separate toggle for Motion Blur and we are happy to say that this is something we are rolling out today."
Once again, we thank you so much for your support. We are listening to all feedback and will share more in due course. That’s all for now. See you on the track!
