No, this was a very noticeable bug as seen here for example: https://clips.twitch.tv/PunchySuccessfulCrocodileOSsloth

Gameplay

• Fixed an issue where hitting a slanted surface would push you down to the ground at disproportionate speeds.

Spectator

• Fixed spectating mode showing the wrong weapon being held, and the HUD showing the wrong player's information when switching players to follow with the player number binds.
• In the minimap the player pins of each team are now have their team colors.
• In the minimap the currently spectated player's pin now has a white dot to indicate whose point of view is being shown.

Performance

• Fixed some micro-stutters related to audio playback - thank you to Aeson.

Audio

• Fixed issue causing some explosion and impact sounds to not be correctly spatialized sometimes.

Originally the note didn't have the AI part, it was added later after this post in case it was confused for eggbots

Performance

• Improved the performance of environmental particle effects.
• Optimizations to bots' AI.
• CPU-side optimizations related to environment-vs-player interaction.

Spectator

• In Settings-More Settings there is now an option to auto-follow persons of interest, currently it follows the MacGuffin carrier, or a Flag carrier.

Bots

• Bots no longer go inside props and blocks that had been set to player collision - bots will not be going inside the objects in the Practice Range anymore.

Maps

• "Test", the MacGuffin map available in Custom Games, has been updated with some modifications after being playtested: the MacGuffin-Red Armor area has been increased, it now takes longer to go from Red to the Wishing Well base, there are now stairs from the mid 50HP to the top Blaster to avoid having to drop down to the teleporter to go up, the Grenade Launcher has been moved...

Open the console with the button above tab, to the left of 1 and paste /hud_minimap 1

Spectator

• When a player being spectated dies, the camera will now by default switch to the player who fragged the other, instead of just to another player.
• In Settings-More Settings it's possible to select whether the spectator perspective switches to the fragger on death or if it stays with the current player.

Visual changes

• Damage numbers are now displayed above the enemy overhead name so that they are more readable.
• Fixed overhead names lingering too long after an opponent enters a smoke field (released this morning as a minor update).
• Fixed the smoke from the Smoke Weeball sometimes incorrectly hiding enemy overhead names when opponents are nearby released this morning as a minor update).
• Fixed overhead names sometimes giving away player positions through some obstacles (released this morning as a minor update).

Audio

• Fixed issue causing sounds originating from uppe...

During warmup the items will respawn however the clock will keep displaying 00:00, for the clock to move without the game ending you can start a map locally if you open the console with the button above tab, to the left of 1 and type /game_mode duel and then /map duel_bioplant (replace bioplant with the names of other maps, if a map has multiple words use an underscore between them)

We tried a HRTF implementation back in the day, Phonon by Valve's, but we didn't quite like what it did to the timbre of the sounds. We plan to test different implementations in the future as we have more options now. This would be an option that people can choose. I don't think it would be a default as some people may not think that's worth the latency increase (which I assume would be there, I'm purely speculating with regards to the latency thing just from my understanding of how HRTF works, which may be wrong, and I've never measured this back in the day).

Regarding the thread, we are aware the sounds need improvement, we have a few open threads of development at the moment with audio. For example, we should have a specific fix in our environment intersection query system for a bug that is probably affecting vertical localization (I just haven't had time to confirm yet 100% but it matches some issues that people are reporting).

Besides that we'll probably be re-...

I wrote a bit in here about priorities and patch notes and I think it's worth bringing up: https://www.reddit.com/r/Diabotical/comments/izvoxm/patch_notes_version_020358_september_25_2020/g6lwqvy/

An important thing to emphasize is that you are not seeing just the result of a day's work on a day's patch. We are still working on important things on the background and they are released (hopefully) when they are ready. This one optimization thing took a month of changes and testing here and there...

If you get version 0.20.370d that should be fixed

If you get version 0.20.370d that should be fixed

This should be fixed now if you're on version 0.20.370d

There is an automatic kick system for inactive players but there is a problem in some situations

Visual changes

• Tactical pings now depend on having a clear, conservative, line of sight to the enemies to prevent triggering them behind walls
• There are now indicators above a player when they are in the Console, Menu, Chat, or alt+tabbed (different ones for each) - this includes enemies but adequately hidden when necessary
• The names of enemies are now displayed when they are being targeted if the crosshair is roughly pointing in their general direction and there is a clear, conservative, line of sight to them
• In Settings-More Settings-Overhead names section, it's now possible to disable enemy names; set the color of enemy names: team colored (default) or custom color; and set the color of teammate names: HP gradient (default), team color, or custom color
• In Extinction there is now an exclamation point over your teammate who is the last Life Leader
• In Extinction there are screen-edge waypoints when there are Life Leader p...

The MacGuffin maps were designed and tested for 3v3

369e indeed :)

Good now since 396e I hope?

We are going to explain this in the next patch notes, but there were temporary (massive) leaks due to a bug in Gameface (menu UI engine), we tracked them down to the video vignettes that we have in the interface, which is why they are disabled now since 369e*. So things should be back to normal.

Customization

• It's now possible select an already placed sticker and send it backward one layer, bring it forward one layer, bring it all the way to the front, or send it all the way to the back
• The default sorting of stickers now respects the order of addition instead of them being arbitrarily sorted

Visual changes

• In Settings-More Settings there's now a checkbox to enable damage number grouping (their values are accumulated if the individual contributions happened in quick succession)

Maps

• New map! "Test" is a new MacGuffin map available in Custom Games, any feedback about it is appreciated - in this map the PnCR first spawns at the 2 minute mark
• The map "Test 2" has been removed from the Custom Game's MacGuffin map list
• Kasbah's spawns have been adjusted with some unused spawns being removed, some added on the Red Armor side of the map, and some moved to prevent some sightlin...

The last threads still have multiple things to address which are not forgotten, but I'll create this to separate some of the solved problems from last week and issues that players find during this week
