Fault Dev Tracker

We are pushing a hotfix to address the following issues:

• River SFX volume adjustment.
  
• Countess SFX volume adjustment.
  
• Purity Of The Ancients now gives correct movespeed.
  
• Adjusted Twinblast's dash to now move diagonally.

Also, due to the feedback on our new matchmaking system, we have added a 'Preferred Matchmaking Server' setting. This setting will tell the game you are willing to accept higher ping in order to play with other regions quicker, should your own region be less populated. Think of it as a hybrid between the new and old matchmaking system. While this shouldn't effect NA & EU players as much, people from other regions should see a significant reduction in wait time if they opt in to a 'Preferred Region' outside of their own. 🌎

We will continue to monitor feedback and keep everyone updated on any further changes. Direct all feedback to our Discord server here ... Read more

GAME MECHANICS General Game Size

• Space needed to install the game should now be down to roughly 14 Gigabytes from the previous size of 53.7 Gigabytes. (74% decrease in total space needed).

With this patch we have reduced the file size of Fault dramatically, this is the result of some work we have done to optimize and improve the memory usage of our game. We have received positive feedback from our testers about this change and are eager to see how it effects our community. We plan to continue working on optimization in the following weeks and will continue to monitor related feedback.

NEW: Crunch Crunch is a melee diver with a unique set of abilities meant to combo together in various ways. We wanted Crunch to be very dynamic and fluid to play, so a lot of attention went into nailing down the feel of weaving abilities and basic attacks together in succession. Players that can effectively combo both his abilities and basic attacks together, and utilize on-hit ability effect items, will get the most out Crunch.

WHAT IS THE HERO MASTERY RACE?
The Hero Mastery Race is a competition to see who can reach gold mastery on our latest hero the fastest! We want the race to be accessible to as many people as possible, therefore we have opted to only go as far as gold for now. We don't want players to play for extremely unreasonable amounts of time to win the race, but we will monitor how long it takes our players to accomplish this goal and adjust if necessary for next time. This is something we would like to continue doing for our future hero releases, so please let us know your feedback in our Discord.

‍
HOW DO I PARTICIPATE?
Play the game!

Anyone that owns Crunch only needs to play the game as you would normally to earn Mastery XP. Your match performance and match time affect the amount of Mastery XP you earn, so rushing bot games or throwing matches won't help you here! Play as many games of Crunch as you can and you'll be sure to rank up as quickly a... Read more
