G'day Forts fans!
No, this is not an April Fool! Update 1.25 has arrived on the first day of our bi-monthly cycle, a strategic manuever long intended and, at last, executed!
Multiplayer Lobby Update
In response to community requests, we have added extra features to the multiplayer lobby screen for extra ease of use and functionality.
- Settings - Lets you change the lobby settings without the need to restart the lobby.
- Options - Access the game options screen directly from the lobby.
- Randomise Teams - Allows host to reshuffle teams with one click.
- Sorted by Team - Teams are grouped together, and the host is indicated by the crown icon.
- Team Selection - Instantly select the desired team instead of cycling.
- Available Capacity - Shows when there is a surplus of players after a capacity reduction.
- Force Start - Ignore players who are not ready when starting a game.
