RELEASE DATE: Feb. 07, 2015
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL
Patch #002 brings your TOXIKK V0.71 Wasabi Build up to V0.73. It comes with fixes, changes and new features. It may look like a small list (compared to the previous patch) but some of the fixed bugs were hard to track down and the in-match options menu was quite a bit of work too (see new features).
FIXES
FIX_01 - RESOLUTION CHANGE VIA VIDEO OPTIONS
Changing the screen resolution via Video Options was broken for many after the last patch. It should now be working flawlessly again.
FIX_02 - BLURRED AND DESATURATED VISION
The blurred and desaturated vision (standard backgroud of the Pause/ESC-Menu) was visible occasionally in the game. This should now be fixed.
FIX_03 - BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH
Very few people had a black screen of death shortly after the intro videos. We've implemented multiple solutions to this, which (hopefully) fixed this issue. Please report, if it still occurs to you.
FIX_04 - MOUSE SETTINGS RESET WITH EACH LAUNCH
For some people the mouse (and other) settings were reset after each launch. This should be fixed now.
FIX_05 - STUCK IN SPECTATOR MODE
Some people were stuck in spectator or third person view after joining a match. This should no longer appear.
FIX_06 - REBINDABLE TAB KEY / SCOREBOARD
The Scoreboard couldn't be bound to TAB to be visible after a match. This should now be fixed.
FIX_07 - NAME OF FACTION IN HUD SCORE COUNTER
The name of the faction in the team score counter in the HUD wasn't visible. This should now be fixed.
CHANGES
CHG_01 - MOUSE SETTINGS IMPROVED
The Mouse sensitivity can now be adjusted in finer steps and we've also done some other fixes to the mouse controls. Test them and let us now what you think. With the in-game options now being accessible from within a match (see new features section below), you should now also be able to tweak your mouse settings way better.
CHG_02 - WEAPON SWITCH TIMES DECREASED
As requested by many, we've lowered the weapon switch times to flow better with the general pace of the game. The switch times were decreased by approximately 20%.
CHG_03 - BULLCRAFT ALTERNATE FIRE DAMAGE DECREASED
As requested by many, we've slightly lowered the Bullcraft shotgun's alternate fire. If all pellets of the double-barrel shot hit (e.g. if shot from just an inch away), it was possible to cause a damage as high as 288. This was lowered to 216 (twelve pellets times 18 points of damage).
NEW FEATURES
FTR_01 - IN-MATCH OPTIONS MENU
As requested by so many people, the options menu is now accessible from within a match. To have it only accessible outside of a match was pretty stupid, but if you work with a game for years, you sometimes don't see the most obvious flaws. Anyway, it's now there and you can easily access it by pressing ESC (default key) during a match.
FTR_02 - VAC - Valve Anti Cheat Enabled
TOXIKK is now VAC enabled. If a user connects to a VAC-Secured server from a computer with identifiable cheats installed, the VAC system will ban the user from playing on VAC-Secured servers in the future.
