Server Downtime - 22 Jan at 09:00 CET

Hunters, 
 
The Live Servers will be taken offline tomorrow, January 22nd to deploy Update 2.2.1. This Update brings a number of bug fixes as well as improvements to the VOIP system. See the full list of details below.

Estimated downtime: ~4 hours.



Gameplay

• Bounty Clash AI update
  
  • Removed Immolator, Hive, Meathead, and Hellhound spawns
    
  • Added Grunt spawns inside compounds
    
  • Reduced overall AI spawn rate
• Reduced the inflicted melee damage when pulling stuck projectiles out of Hunters (from 70 to 14 for upper torso)
  
  • The amount of damage to other body parts differs based on hit location, but is generally even lower
    
  • While much reduced in effectiveness, the Blademancer Trait may still help finish off Hunters that are very low on health

VOIP Improvements

• Team Communications now included when using all / proximity chat
  
• The muted mic icon no longer auto-hides, providing better clarity about the muted state
  
• The system now respects the muted state set in the options when joining a game and cycling through voice channels
  
• A new "Toggle" state has been added to clearly differentiate between continuous and toggle behavior, both in-game and in the menu.
  
• Fixed an issue where the muted team voice Input option was not being respected in the menu.
  
• Resolved an issue where the Vivox Push To Talk state was incorrectly set to active on game launch for PC.
  
• The last toggle state is now stored as an attribute and reinstated on game start.
  
• Addressed a stalling issue by preventing the Mute All option state from being saved to a file during gameplay input.

Developer Note: We´re excited to launch the new VOIP system, enhancing in-game communication. Your feedback has been essential, and we're committed to ongoing improvements in future updates. Thanks for being a part of this journey!
