Hey guys!
You might've noticed that Ballistic updated a few times last week. That's because we've been doing some fixes here and there to improve the overall experience. Below is a list of all those fixes, including the ones released today.
- Locked weapons level requirement visible on Soldiers screen
- Average as default server filter
- Now when searching servers, the default filter is "Average" instead of "All". This means that matches that are not created in your continent/region or have a ping higher than 200 won't show. Our goal is to incentivize players to pick better matches.
- If you have trouble finding matches, just change the option to "Bad". This will make so all matches are shown again.
- Secondary function improvements
- Fixed a bug where players would be able to use the Secondary Function twice, making so they would be kicked from the match
- Secondary Function is now cancelable by grenades, melee and weapon swaps
- Some servers now have ping limit
- As you might have noticed, some servers name now includes a ping limit. Those servers will kick players that are, on average, above this limit. We've limited those servers to just a few per region, so players that can't play on those matches still have other matches available.
- This system was improved during the week. At first, it was much more rigid, kicking several players. Now it's more forgiving, while still kicking players that are above the limit consistently. If you've joined one of those servers and have been kicked, we encourage you to try again and see if that is still the case.
- Character interpolation improved
- Character movements online should be smoother overall both in regular matches and in spectator mode.
- Some internal optimizations
- We've revised several small things in the code. You can expect a slight framerate improvement.
- A few progression related bugs fixed
- Some localization errors fixed
Lastly, we're updating VAC in the next few days. So, if you use any kind of cheat engines or hacks, we encourage you do stop it before you become VAC Banned. The VAC system is automatic and we can't "unban" anyone.
Thank you for your support and we hope you're having a great time!
See you in the battlefield!
