Player movement changes

• Improvements made to local and remote player movement to address Desync issues.

Developer Note:

With this update, we have introduced some improvements to player movement in relation to issues around Desync.

Local improvements – these refer to improvements relating to your Hunter on your client. We have improved the error correction in game which should allow for faster and fairer feedback in those instances where desync can occur. The aim here is to reduce the instances of abrupt and unexpected teleports. However, it is important to note, bad network connectivity, latency or other network interru... Read more

Thanks.

Hunters,

1.8 will primarily be a service focused update. With this, we are introducing some tentative client and server performance fixes in the hope of alleviating some of the performance issues that have been encountered since Update 1.7.

We know there is a chance these will not be the magic bullet to resolve all performance related problems but we are hoping it is a step in the right direction.

This test phase is very important for us as we need to ensure these improvements do help, and not cause further problems before we bring this update to the live servers.

This update will also include a number of changes and improvements across all maps, new tier 2 weapon lobby animations, changes to Cain and how he blends with the environment as well as some fixes to the first person view of certain hunter... Read more
