We are back again with another patch!
We've listened to feedback regarding the new vehicle spawning system and have implemented a system that will eliminate an issue where multiple players could all expect to spawn the same tank, yet only one would actually get to. Vehicles are now "reserved" as soon as they are selected to spawn! We have also made changes that should eliminate the need to "lead" targets in close quarters.
Looking ahead, the team will be starting the transition out of bug-fixing mode and into content-creation mode, including the addition of more maps and vehicles! Stay tuned!
As a side note, the team has been having a lot of fun playing these past couple weeks! However, we have noticed that on certain servers, players are experiencing a considerable amount of lag when the player counts creep up past a certain threshold (~60). As a result, we are asking server administrators to gauge the performance of their servers and adjust their maximum player slots accordingly to ensure a stable and enjoyable experience for all players.
See you on the battlefield,
Darklight Games
P.S. If you are experiencing an "Unknown Steam Error" when a server changes maps, fear not, there is a quick and easy fix! Simply follow these instructions!
