Dear Community,

(Original Post: http://forums.fredaikis.com/index.php?/topic/7913-patch-40/)

We're at the end of the week again and before we jump into the weekend we'd like to roll out a patch for Nether. We'd like to readdress that we are working very hard on particular issues that you guys have been reporting to us. This patch might not contain all the fixes we would have liked to release but at least it's a step in the right direction. We didn't want to have you guys wait too long for an update. We will continue to look into further reports and feedback from you all so keep it going!

 

Now, let's jump into the patch notes:

 



GAMEPLAY

• Bullet tracers/hit registrations have been improved. Issues related to this have been reported a lot by the community and we will continue to monitor and improve this until it's perfect. [/*]
• We have also further improved the melee hit boxes against Nethers. [/*]
• Fixed a small bug where the crosshair would not display the correct spread in third-person. [/*]
• Tweaked overall spread variables to help with bullet registration. [/*]
• Increased NetCode max bandwidth for a smoother gameplay.  [/*]
• New players will no longer be prompted to spawn in the world. They will now always spawn directly in the Lakeside safe zone to help them understand the game better and complete the tutorial. [/*]
• Keys have been removed. Gold crates will now be findable without keys. However they are also more rare. Don't worry, the keys you have in your global inventories are still there but for now you can't do much with them other than to sell them. (if you want of course) [/*]
• Fixed another bug related to the water appearing green sometimes. [/*]
• Improved the player movement physics. This to improve the situations where players would randomly get stuck while walking up hills for example. It is now also a lot smoother to walk on this type of surfaces. (Here an example: https://i.gyazo.com/324fcd6f7f47abc099e656a966ab03a8.mp4) [/*]
• Fixed a bug causing, while searching interactive crates or trying to, to bug out when walking too close to them. [/*]

UI

• Improved the quality of some visual objects in the UI. [/*]
• Fixed a UI bug that was happening when changing languages. [/*]
• The pickup UI now shows quantity if applicable. [/*]
• Added an icon to the map that indicates your last death location. This is to make it easier for players to see where they died in case they try to get back to their body. [/*]
• Added a simple "ping" system. Players can use this to mark a certain spot or area while playing. This can be useful for yourself, but also when playing in a group. The whole group will see where you pinged. You can ping by pressing the scroll wheel button on your mouse. [/*]

MODELS

• Added collision for the book case models. (all variants) (example of the model: https://prnt.sc/ntxfa4) [/*]
• Added collision for the cabinet counter model. (example of the model: http://prntscr.com/ntxo36) [/*]
• Fixed collision for one of the broken sky scraper buildings. Players were able to jump through some of the windows even though there were wooden planks blocking the window. (example of the model: http://prntscr.com/ntxr5d) [/*]
• Fixed collision for the camp fire model. This old collision was around 20 times higher than the actual camp fire model. The new collision matches the size of the actual camp fire. [/*]
• Fixed collision for the Church (back side area). There was an area where players could walk on top of an invisible ceiling. [/*]
