    Miscellaneous Notes


    • Custom Lobby now supports variable rigs per player [list]
    • This change replicates what players are able to seek for in the Quickmatch queue
    • Only the Host of the lobby can adjust the amount of rigs the other players use
    • Next to each name is a Dropmark icon that rotates when clicked. The number of red dots indicates how many rigs that player controls
    • The size of the player slot will automatically adjust based on the number of rigs that player is controlling

  • The level cap restriction for Ranked Draft in Custom Lobbies has been lifted
    • 1v1 (3 Rig control per player) no longer requires level 10 but still requires owning 6 pilots
    • 3v3 (1 Rig control per player) no longer requires level 5

  • Dead rigs will now have a “skull and crossbones” overlay on their pilot portrait in the Command Grid
  • The 4th “Ranked Squad” slot in the Builder is now a normal slot that can be selected and renamed[/list]
  • Bug Fixes


    • Fixed an issue that prevented players from utilizing the Ranked Draft option in a 6 player (3v3) Custom Lobby game
    • Fixed an issue that caused the uplink SFX, VFX, and HUD animations to continue if a rig was killed during the uploading process
    • Fixed an issue that caused Shrapnel’s profile quote to be “null”
    • Various localization fixes

    Known Issues


    • Locking Observer slots in Custom Matches only works when both slots are empty
    • The Private Match setting only works when the game is already created, so someone can join in-between
    • Hive Link does not have a cast ring around hives to show where the ability can be cast
    • Global Chat does not reflect your changed name until you have restarted the game
    • Due to the new leveling system, older replays will be using observer information that is out of date. A replay wipe will be in the near future, so we suggest video capturing any replays you would like to save


    So there you have it everyone. Let us know if you catch any bugs we missed in the Custom Lobby changes, and keep your feedback coming!

    Thanks!
