V1034 Community Test: Update #06
GROUND BRANCH
15.02.24 17:10 Community Announcements
Folks,

Today's update was planned for yesterday — Valentine's Day — but ended up being delayed by a few nasty bugs. We're mentioning that because we had a nice themed intro for it and don't wanna let it go to waste. So instead of coming up with a new intro, we're simply all going to pretend it did come out yesterday. Alternatively, you may pretend today is still Valentine's Day:

Surprise that special someone with this hand-picked special changelist of features making up a beautiful, romantic GROUND BRANCH Valentine’s Day update for the Community Test beta branch! No refunds after two hours! ????

Thank you for indulging us.

New to Community Test? Here's how it works:

???? Where to report bugs


You can report bugs and issues using any of these methods:
Your reports help us locate and fix issues faster, so keep them coming!


Known issues



???? These issues are known to still be present:

  • The Breaching Charge is currently deployed at a 90-degree angle
  • Bullets may be being blocked in odd places by a certain type of volume — please report in with the map and location if you come across it!
  • When connecting to servers, the loading screen displays the "Returning to Main Menu" text
  • Enemy AI may be unresponsive/idle/stuck in various contexts — if you see it, please make note of whether it was online (dedicated server? Listen server?) or offline, which game mode was being played, as well as map and location etc.
    Zitat:
    ⚠️ Bots are particularly prone to getting stuck in doorways; we're actively working on fixing/improving this issue.
  • Weapon movement, poses and animations in general are still being put back together after the prone overhaul — please bear with us
  • Walking or running with a primary weapon equipped causes the character's right foot to "hover" before it actually touches the ground
  • The prone stance does not conform to terrain angle
  • Character and weapon collision while prone is pretty finicky! Let us know how it all feels to you
  • Various combinations of hairstyles and headgear items have visible clipping or overall jankiness
  • AI bots are not functional in Deathmatch

  • Updated Debug menu to add new commands
  • Opting out with F4 now increases Deaths stat
  • Updated HUD to support adding non-chat messages to center, upper and lower message managers (allowed changing Ready Room and Spectator messages from engine messages to far more visible center-screen, preventing the mistake of trying to hit F4 or F6 again)




As always, thank you for testing and providing feedback!


See you next time!
