At some point, yes.

No, projectiles spawn from your logical origin which is always horizontally centred and independent of the presentation settings of the weapon model.

Shaft is more sensibly sized since 353b. We'll keep tweaking them all. Also, there are some particle effects that were done assuming rightward positioning and will need specialised versions.

Gameplay

• Items now respawn during the warmup state

Stability/performance

• Fixed a resource leak causing performance degradation over long game sessions - thank you to neeple for testing

Visual changes

• In Settings-More settings, there is now an option to select what type of damage numbers are seen, outgoing (the potential damage of the hit) and incoming (the damage received by the player which depends on the health they had left) the default is now outgoing damage so that it's clearer how much damage a hit can do - this does not effect the damage number

What's your Epic Games name?

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

Week 1 - Bug Report Thread

...

Gameplay

• The default win condition of Instagib Duel changed from highest score at the Time Limit of 5 minutes to highest score at the Time Limit of 4 minutes and first to 25 frags (whichever is reached first)
• Instagib Duel's overtime has been reduced from 2 minutes to 1 minute

Masterserver/matches

• It's now possible to join Warmup as a party - when the party leader clicks the "Party Join"button all party members will join the same server, party members can still join warmup by themselves whenever they wish but will be brought along to a server with the rest of the party if the party leader clicks "Party Join", the party leader can play Warmup without bringing party members by clicking the "Join" button instead
• Some ranked matchmaking balance fixes (more will be coming soon)

Stability/Performance

• Fixed a crash happening sometimes when switching enemy colors
• Fixed a crash happening...

This is one of our top priorities now.

Can you open windows explorer/a folder and paste %ProgramData%/EQU8 then upload startup.log and diabotical.log and give me a download link, you can do so if you dm me on Discord http://discord.gg/diabotical or using a service/website that allows you to upload files like https://filebin.net/ or Google Drive, Dropbox

Gameplay

• New Mode! In Custom Games it's now possible to play Instagib Duel
• In Custom Games it's now possible to select Vintage physics - this physics mode has a large amount of air control, air acceleration and lower ground friction which can be useful to turn around corners - if you take a vertical jumppad you will have little ability to move in a direction but if you hold crouch and a direction key you will be able to get up to 160ups in a direction
• In Custom Games there is now an easy to access Instagib option with the choice to play with the PnCR or Crossbow

Maps

To answer some common questions about the Shop and Battle Pass:

(this is an explanation of how things are at the moment, it is possible that changes will come in the future, if there are changes they will be announced)

Shop

• Coin PacksIn the Epic Games Store and in the Shop it’s possible to buy Coin Packs, the first purchase of each of these packs which have different coin amounts, will contain bonus exclusive items (only possible to get from these packs with the exception of the Heart sticker). When you purchase a more expensive Coin Pack you do not receive the coins or bonus items from the less expensive pack(s), they are separate.
• Coin Packs with bonus - limited time offerIt is undetermined for how long these coins packs with bonus items will be available.
• Shop rotationThe shop’s contents rotate every 2 days at ...

Yes, that'd make a lot of sense. Noted.

Removing Rotterdam would be a bit mean to UK right now :)

We are currently working on trying to get a good Paris location. It's easy to just get a consumer-grade dedicated server or a cloud location, but for important locations like that we want to stick to something proper with a support crew on-site that understands our gaming concerns (minimal routes, latency stability, etc). Also we want companies for those locations with a level of support where we can take to them any traceroute of a user having problems and they can address it, contacting this users' ISP or whatever it takes. This is why we have some important holes in our coverage right now, but don't worry, we take coverage very seriously and we are not willingly ignoring certain areas.

Gameplay

• Dodge should no longer remain stuck when you respawn after you had died while pressing it
• By default the Zoom Toggle option no longer unzooms when switching weapons

Maps

• Wellspring, Sunken, and Furnace have received collision fixes

Stability/Performance

• Fixed severe regular stutters happening on Windows 7 related to the anti-cheat system - thanks to INT3 (EQU8) and netborg
• Fixed infrequent crash when starting the game related to the store overlay - thanks to Epic games
• Fixed infrequent issue where the anti-cheat would be deactivated causing the game to be interrupted - thanks to INT3 (EQU8)

Audio

• Now all of the hit notification sounds will be played, removing a previously set rate limitation

Interface

• The default toggle zoom behavior option is now to remain zoomed when switching to another weapon, an option h...

Yes, this is a frequent request. I'll try to prioritise it.

I've made a note to do this soon. But I have written it down as "way to add recent teammates as friends" instead, rather than part, any objections to that?
