Hey Everyone,
Tonight's patch adds some important AI & player movement changes, map improvements, and plenty of bugfixes!
Read on for the full patch notes.
Additions and Improvements
- AI now use an "Island Hopping" technique to pathfind -Previously, AI were often getting 'stuck' when trying to find a path over the entire map (up to 2km). This change should help increase the success of AI pathfinding.
- Updated Flare description to reflect its new use for calling in aerial strikes
- Reworked player movement control when falling/jumping
- Decreased backwards movespeed by 5%
- Fall damage now has a higher base damage, but requires a larger impact to trigger
- Added warning sign to the minefield near the Old Airfield
- Added new EU-North server
Bug fixes
- Item crosshair now shows on Hardcore (no crosshairs) mode
- The in-game map no longer tracks dead players
- Typing space into chat no longer makes the character jump after the message is sent
- Changed chopper movement algorithm to better handle dropped updates (smoother)
- Fixed spectator bug when spectating a player with a Red-Dot Sight
