Hey Everyone,
Tonight, we've got one of our biggest patches to date, with a raft of improvements to gunplay, graphics, settings, menus, bugfixes, optimizations, and more!
Read on for the full patch notes.
Additions and Improvements
- Added ELO ranking system -ELO is now distributed to all players at the end of a round, and your ELO ranking & current rank can be viewed from the "Perks and Customization" screen
- Optimized performance as amount of players increases -Previously, all player animators and IK ran every frame, regardless of how far away they were from you, or whether they were even on-screen. This change should help CPU-limited systems.
- Player avatar picture in the "Perks and Customization" screen now grabs your Steam avatar
- Added in-game basic settings options
- Left-click now throws a rock/other throwable item that you're holding
- Menu UI no longer pops up after death in a round
- Local footstep sounds (from your player) are now softer
- Added new accuracy penalty for moving whilst shooting -This penalty is multiplicative, and based off the guns natural ADS accuracy. For instance, snipers are affected much more from this change than guns like the Vityaz.
- New accuracy penalty for shooting when out of stamina -This adds a bit of risk to the "bunnyhop" gunfight style
- Grenades now display a message showing how far away from you they've landed
- Grenades now have stickier physics materials, -This makes it easier to predict where your grenade will stop moving, previously they could bounce anywhere
- Added "Join Featured Server" button directly to the Main Menu
- Increased level of Eye Adaptation
- Caps lock is now the rebindable button to bring up the scoreboard in Deathmatch mode
- Improved Perk Selection UI, and added helpful messages
- Decreased time between dying and going into spectator mode
