Hey Everyone,
It's time for a patch! As you are probably aware, we've been working around the clock over the past week to bring Down To One to Unity 5.
Although we'd intended to have the Unity 5 patch ready this week, we've hit a major roadblock with a new critical Unity 5 bug that breaks all functionality of our current GUI system in Unity 5. The good news is, we're now asynchronously rebuilding DTO's entire GUI with the new UGUI system in Unity 5, which should yield some great benefits in the long run. For now though, we'll be pushing a few more Unity 4 patches out until the GUI is rebuilt & Unity 5's other critical bugs are sorted out. Tonight, we've ported back some of the cool new changes we've made in the last week.
Tonight we've performed a reset of Cash & Perks with the new update to our Anticheat system, but as a thanks to all of our players (and a sorry for the delayed patch), every player has been given $50,001.
Read on for the full patchnotes.
Additions and Improvements
- Hit detection improvements -Hits in our old system could sometimes be dropped if any server lag, or packet loss on either the shooter or receivers end occurred, which caused some hit detection issues. Our new system means that every time you hit someone - they will get damaged 100% of the time.
- Updated Anticheat
- Added 2 new C36G skins - Desert & Black -See if you can spot them in-game!
- Added speaker mode options in the main menu -Stereo (default), Quad, 5.1, 7.1, & Prologic DSP
- Reduced time between stopping & being ready to fire your rifle
- Your crosshair will now not be visible whilst unable to shoot a weapon
- Increased bandage spawn rate in residential spawners
- Decreased AK47 bleed chance & severity
- Slightly increased invulnerability timer after starting a round
Bug fixes
- Ladders now respect keybinds (thanks Yester!)
- Reloading no longer bugs out if you drop your gun before finishing a reload
- Carepackage smoke should no longer bug out
- Various server-side bugfixes
