Hi everyone!
Patch 1.0.2 is now live! 🥳
New:
- Improved the energy blade model and its colliders.
- The energy blade now correctly mirrors when grabbed with the left hand.
- Changed sniper scope reticle to red to make it more visible in dark environments
- Changed the color of the sniper lever to red
- Added a new option to disable pvp invites in the invite notification itself (it can take a few seconds to take effect after switching it off)
- Added a host icon to the scoreboard so all players can see who it is.
- Added the list of players to the scoreboard lobby to enable the kick out functionality.
- Hidden the team chat switch when not playing PVP games
- Clamped the minimum ambient light on SteamVR, this improves a lot the visibility in very dark maps
- Added new tooltips in the loading screen: how to trigger the energy shield and how to small jump
- Added a new warning in the HUD when the host has connectivity problems.
- Centralized all the options regarding weapon manipulation under "Gameplay>Weapons". Now there are two options and we also improved how they work:
-- Disable trigger for second held: Trigger will only grab magazines from the mag bag, magazines from the weapon, and levers.
-- Trigger grabs weapons from holsters (enabled by default)
Balancing:
- Reduced the larva spawn rate in Conquer games in Easy and Normal. This should make it easier to complete large levels in those difficulties as well as reduce the game duration in those maps.
- Reduced Research cost of AK2 and AK5 improvements to 50 and 100 research points
New tech tree items:
- AK6 Machine gun LvL1 - Bullet tracer
- AK6 Machine gun LvL2 - +15% Range
- Drone LvL1 - Increased speed

- Fixed the "Move" instruction would not last until the unit reached the destination
- Fixed the slot editor would stay active if the player turned off the "show weapons" flag while editing.
- Fixed weapons floating the first time the player threw them in the Lobby.
- Fixed Index controller trigger still requires 100% on most weapons to fire (sniper is proper with it being around 40-60%)
- Fixed grabbing the weapon twice very fast would make them float, losing the weapon from the holster
- Fixed tanks in siege mode not being able to fire inside energy shields
- Fixed Navmesh issues in Frozen Lake
- Fixed a crash when navigating the main menu when switching back and forth between coop and pvp
- Fixed when dying in the lobby it turns you into tac mode and when you click the button to exit tac mode, it says “tactical mode is unavailable in this” so you’re stuck in it unless you have someone kill your body

- Fixed a bug where if host leaves the game at the end the new host doesn’t get the option to go back to lobby only ship and play again
