The HITBOKS Patch

Updates

• The fog circle sizes have been reduced as they near the end of the game.
• Hitboxes have a major rework are now tighter to the player’s shape and animation. This change should significantly improve hit accuracy.
• Skydiving controls have been tweaked to make it easier to land where players intend from far distances.
• Updated the text color presentation for headshots.
• The first fog circle will no longer appear on the map before players have landed (testing).
• We’ve added the following languages to the game: Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean.
• Removed the Emote keybind. Emoting can be accessed through the VGS system by pressing (default) V, then E.
• SEA and Australia servers have been placed within the Asia & Pacific Rim play region. Players will be grouped by ping and assigned a corresponding server if there are enough players queueing in that region. Our goal here is to ensure players can get into matches even at times of low population.
• Implemented improvements for server performance (more still planned).
• Implemented enhancements to anti-cheat (more still planned).
• The Deploy Turret ability has been added back into the game.
