Gameplay

• It's now possible to set the auto-switch weapon priority in Settings-More settings, where the weapons can be ordered from most wanted to least wanted. This order will be respected when selecting the weapon to switch to when running out of ammo if the auto-switch option is enabled, when spawning and selecting your starting weapon, when dropping a weapon if this option is enabled in custom games, or when picking up a weapon if the option to auto-equip based on priority is enabled (see next item).
• There is now an option to automatically equip weapons. The option has three settings: disabled, equip always, or equip if the new weapon has a higher priority in the weapon priority list (see previous item). The "equip always" is the default of this option so you may want to disable it in Settings-More settings-Auto equip weapon on pickup.
• When the Auto-switch option "When running out of ammo" and when the option "Equip empty weapons" are both set, ...

If it's unbound it gets automatically rebound to /screenshot when you restart the game, you can /bind f12 blank so that it doesn't

We have some UI-related stutters left that we know about. We replaced Gameface with a custom HUD engine for most of our hud elements because the performance wasn't good enough to preserve a smooth experience, but there's a few things that we are still using this product for, for some reason or another (kill feed, crosshair, chat, announcer text messages and other stuff I may be forgetting now). Even though these are very simple elements sometimes Gameface will block for excessive amount of times when updating the view with these elements. Your 1-2 second stalls are very severe, but I'm not surprised these stalls manifest magnified in some systems for some reason or another, the spawn timing matches up with this since the Gameface view is active at around that time. Hopefully sometime soon we should have an update mentioning getting rid of some stutters related to UI rendering, which will mean we have completely gotten rid of those remnants of Gameface usage completely during gamepl...

That setting inside the more settings button can be used while having any of the other modes and maps selected

In a custom lobby if you click the More Settings button you can select an Instagib option, PnCR or Crossbow and you will have a Knockback Weeball

It's client only, your perspective only

At what point is the anti-cheat stopping you, is there an error code/message, does the updater not finish?

Just to clarify, there's actually no theoretical barrier to solving this in modern compensating netcodes. We are testing a few things and I'm sure we'll be able to make this specific problem go away, it may just require a few patches worth of tweaking at first. There are some issues that are matters of trade-off and unfortunately can't be solved to everybody's satisfaction, but this isn't one of those. Just so you see it's not really an unsurmountable problem, consider the following simple blunt solution that could be in the cards: "if a player is lagging a lot, opponents gain full client-side prediction against said player". Any game could implement that.

A fix for this will be released soon, hopefully before the weekend.

Gameplay

• Fixed issue that prevented the Next weapon and Previous weapon binds from switching your weapon if you were holding down fire.
• When you have auto-switch off, you are no longer auto-switched after you throw the Healing Weeball.
• The auto-switch option in Settings-More settings now includes a setting to only switch weapon when pressing fire after the weapon has run out of ammo.
• There is now an option to be able to switch to an empty weapon in Settings-More settings.

Customization

• In the locker there is a new menu called Presets where you can save 5 different Shell+Stickers+Shoes combinations so that you can create different Eggbot looks and easily switch between them.

Gameplay

• Fixed issue causing players to glide along walls when receiving continuous knockback.
• In Time Trials there is now a dedicated control to restart a run instead of using the Ready bind. The default keybind is F2 and can be rebound in Settings-Controls-Gameplay by setting the "Restart run" button - your Ready bind will no longer work to restart your run, the two functions are now separate.
• In "Freeze Tag - Unfinished" it is no longer possible to throw Weeballs while frozen to avoid Weeball pickups being prevented from respawning while a player was frozen, and to avoid the knockback Weeball being used by frozen players in Instagib Freeze Tag.

Interface

• Fixed issue that would cause...

The screenshots taken with F12 or /screenshot which do not include the HUD/UI and only work with a keybind while in a map, are stored in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Diabotical\Screenshots you can paste %appdata%/diabotical/screenshots in the windows explorer address bar to be taken there, if you are in-game you can also type /homedir in the console to open your Diabotical appdata folder and then go to the screenshots folder manually

/bind KEY screenshot to set a different keybind

When testing the 20 shotgun rays, after one would hit the rest would also count as hitting due to a dirty state programming error. Centre pellet goes first (they spiral out) hence the snipper shotgun effect where if you land the centre ray you get max damage. The issue has been there for months. Because of unrelated changes yesterday it surfaced arbitrarily (things shifting around in the assembly make these issues come up) which is why we didn't notice it in testing, we weren't expecting any change in hit registration.

It's fixed in matches that are created from now on

Sorry about that. After the update servers were having this issue for about an hour. It should be fixed now, no need to update, any game starting from this point onwards should be completely updated.

The Shotgun is fixed in matches that start now
