Yesterday’s update, version 1.6.6, marked a significant milestone for Liftoff. It introduced an essential engine update that lays the groundwork for the project’s future growth. These updates are crucial for ensuring Liftoff’s continued evolution, but they always come with challenges.
Engine updates are tricky; they often uncover unforeseen problems in unexpected places, sometimes beyond what internal testing can reveal. We’ve been hard at work addressing the major issues reported since yesterday's update, and today’s version 1.6.7 aims to fix several of them. We’ll continue rolling out quick-fix updates if needed.
Changelist
- Updated: the 'Fixed drone setup' multiplayer game modifier now allows you to use modified variants of the drone setup. The game will ask you to select a compatible drone when joining the game, if any are available.
- Updated: the gameplay options menu now always scales with the contents rather than having a fixed size and requiring to scroll down.
- Updated: improved lighting for Liftoff Arena environment.
- Fixed: pink visuals on Intel-based mac systems.
- Fixed: multiplayer 'waiting for others' issue.
- Fixed: in multiplayer infinite race, when spectation another player while the game settings were being changed, your drone wouldn't allow to reset.
