Hey guys,

here goes another update that hopefully fixes a lot of the performance issues you have been experiencing in the past. To make up for some of this issues and to thank you for all the trust I got another weapon for you. It is a blast for sure and it also should be a good counterpart for the L96 and vice versa.

Firing sequence:


To help with performance and to make the game look even better and immersive I baked lots of lights. It is a very time consuming process and some results might be a bit weird but still it feels and plays way better.

Here are some impressions of some of the changed maps:







Notice that the last map looks like a completely new map but the truth is that it is "chud" that received another theme because a lot of you did dislike the darkness in it. I hope you can enjoy this take on it a bit more.

The maps that have not been light baked yet will receive a light baking at some later point as well.

Changes

• Lots of performance optimizations
• New decal system for blood that should work way more reliable and efficient
• Switched to Single Pass Rendering
• Added new weapon M249
• Added locomotion block on top of the towers in planets
• Fixed jamming issue for SMG11
• Fixed broken AI Soldier in Editor
• Fixed broken Flare in Editor
• Adjustments to animation thresholds
• Bipod is more comfortable to use now
• Attempt to reduce network lag a bit
• Health indication changes color depending on health state (white, yellow, red)
• Baked lots of lights and optimized maps
• Active spawn protection will be visible on close distances only
• Improved map voting to allow to vote game mode before voting the map
• Some weapon balancing
• Lots of other fixes and improvements

Now that a lot of the performance issues should have been fixed please give another chance to some of the maps that have been problematic before. If you are still experiencing issues feel free to tell me and I will try my best to improve it even further :)

! Attention !

If you are using the SteamVR beta your controller might appear plain white due to some issues in the current beta. Just opt-out of the SteamVR beta and you should be good again.

Enjoy :)
