In this release, we’ve added the multiplayer netcode to the destroyer gameplay. This allows for the following scenarios in multiplayer with the destroyers:
- Up to 4 players in total (we will be increasing this limit in a future update)
- Up to 4 destroyers
- Up to 4 players on a single destroyer
In this initial release, the player won’t be able to shoot other player destroyers, however, we will be adding this soon.
We’ve also added a new naval officers room for joining and creating destroyer games.
With the netcode in place, our attention is now going to turn to add in functional enemies to battle and we’ll be adding a new environment that allows players to get inside and directly control the naval artillery guns on the destroyer.
The following bug fixes are also included in this release:
- Significantly Improved network latency for non-EU games
- Index controller grip buttons no longer grab controls or items
- Fixed “scuttle submarine” appearing incorrectly in hand display.
- Improved precision of grabbing small objects such as the fuses
