October 6th Hotfix: We've released a dedicated server update that fixes random spawners creating the same loot and occasional crashes with zombie attacks.
This update is optional, but all community admins are encouraged to apply it.
Additions
- Added backward compatibility to demo files, fixes previously recorded demos not playing
- Added support for proportional fonts in closed captions (i.e. caption text isn't small anymore on resolutions higher than 1080p)
Changes
- Optimized zombie ability checks when near players, this improves performance on maps with a lot of attacking zombies
- Tweaked server networking settings to reduce latency on crowded maps
- Updated the localization files: [list]
- With thanks to community translators: Blueberryy, Klowby, MakinDay, marcielcps, Plazehorta
- Want to localize NMRiH to your own language? Visit our localization repository on GitHub.
