0.51.2 is now live. Just in time for first PVP Fest in Feb 2019
As development for Q1 Roadmap 2019 is in progress. This will be the final patch before we migrate to Unreal Engine 4.21 to fix some performance issues a longstanding MarkWalkableTriangle bug that is happening on singleplayer skirmish.
As part of this patch's highlight:
- We're glad to announce that we're moving to a more solid animation rig. The phase 1 animation development is complete, as a result characters now each have custom third person animation. Pistol no longer have floating arms. However, due to moving to this new rig , certain animation are now misaligned and will need some correction that will be pushed shortly. For now bear with us as some feet will float a little.
- A big balance changes specifically targeting a very common turret-rush meta have been addressed. While it is still possible to play turret offensively , both faction now require Barracks / Fabricator to start building turret.
- A longstanding bug that causes your squad to retreat when you enter into battlesuit equipping phase has also been addressed.
