The space isn't necessary after the comma, that's a mistake

Hey, thanks for the clip. I don't think that's an issue with the explosions, it's probably just a collision issue where the game thinks the projectile contact surface has a different orientation than it really does. I've implemented a tentative fix for 357 that will be pushed tomorrow. It's just that we have fast and slow environmental intersection queries. The slow ones provide more info and are used where it's important to accurately characterise the contacting surface (like with grenades). Linear projectiles were using the fast ones by mistake which would ruin the input to the splash logic so I think this will fix that.

At least I'm assuming that this is the issue. In your clip, unfortunately, you are dying and the round is also ending which could be factor. But I don't think so, as you seem to have 25hp when the explosion happens and that's 250ms of being shafted, minimum, so let's go with the collision theory. Let us know if this happens again after 357.

Regard...

Hey, we agree, sorry about that. There was a misunderstanding late last night (morning?) about how we were going to solve this where I didn't put enough attention to what was being asked and I said "sounds good to me!". I thought the context of all these modes was something internal for our own experimentation, or perhaps to share with some very specific people amongst our close community, and I thought the reason that it was being asked if this was OK was regarding whether there is overhead in the engine to having too many modes (and there isn't, as you'd expect). I had been asked to address this need through new functionality in the past and I didn't want to block whomever needed this for testing any longer. Then I messed up again when approving the patch notes when I just glossed over that part because I was in a hurry as we were keeping somebody awake that needed to do a maintenance task on the master-server after we pushed, so I didn't notice that this was meant to be a public...

It's a temporary method until something is made for this function

I have the same story as u/nonstickswag I'm playing with a group of old quake veterans, everyone has pointed this out. It's quite obvious...

The levels are the same, at least in the audio setups that we have tested. We have also asked around our test group and nobody has this issue unfortunately. This is usually related to a surround setting at any software or hardware level.

You can find examples of the same issue in other games, and in all cases this had nothing to do with the games: ...

Visual changes

Thanks for the list. Adding teammates there may be a bit busy for a default, so we may do that one as an option you can enable. Last egg in extinction I assume you mean if that player is a teammate :) Team/Enemy base we'll probably make them appear contextually depending of the state of the game.

We'll try to include sticky pointers in tomorrow's patch.

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.
