Alien Arena 7.72

Changes in 7.72:

  • Project 100: optimized the game to support at least 100 FPS framerate, 100 FPS server tickrate, 100 PPS packet rate, and mouse polling rate that aligns with the framerate, this greatly improves the smoothness and responsiveness of the game

  • Extended single player mode with more game modes: CTF and Tactical, and weapon modes: Insta and Insta/Rockets

  • Added fairer antilag calculation based on one-way ping with server-side configuration options and diminishing effect on very high pings

  • Optimized mouse movement logic (Linux-only, under cvar m_direct, recommended to set m_direct to 1)

  • Added centered message about who killed you

  • Drop old particles if the particle buffer is full

  • Check ragdoll buffer before creating new ragdolls

  • Fixed bug with crashing clients when lots of rockets were fired

  • Fixed bug with duplicate ragdolls

  • Fixed bug with ragdolls hanging in mid air

  • Fixed bug with disappearing flag in CTF mode when people quit the match or disconnected

  • Added command teamselect to the list of available commands

Additional changes in 7.72.1 after some feedback and testing:

  • Fixed stuttering issue on 60 FPS

  • Fixed bot firing rate on high tickrates

This update can be installed for both Windows and Linux users.
