Changelog Patch 3 of 3 - 09-05-2015

Hey folks, Sorry for the late update, but heres the final patch to round things up for this second week. 3rd Patch

Players that are invited to a match from the desktop should go to the lobby, instead of the main menu.
Fixed an issue where you would get a black screen after match launch.
Multi-monitor is supported now.
Fixed an issue where fullscreen wouldn't work.

You may have noticed this isn't the complete list that we have announced back two weeks ago. There are still some issues that we are working on but are very difficult for us to reproduce or figure out where the problem seems to be. We would like to ask for your help to indentify these issues better by sending us your valuable bug reports and feedback. It would help us a lot if you could send us a step by step walkthrough to how you got a bug so it is easily reproducable. Heres a list of the remaining issues.

An issue where players are unable to connect while using the same router.
Game gets stuck at 60 seconds in the lobby.
Scrolling bug in the menu. This is probably due to unsupported 3rd party controller input software or other already plugged in devices.
Windows 10 crashes. As windows 10 is still fairly new we don't yet understand the crashes it's producing. We would recommend updating to the latest windows 10 version and update your graphics driver.

We would like to thank you all for your support thus far and hope these fixes make you enjoy the Flock even more. We will be making an announcement in the near future regarding our plans with the Flock so stay tuned and keep sending us your bug reports and feedback! Thanks, Vogelsap

The Flock

The Flock is a first-person asymmetrical multiplayer thriller for 3 - 5 players. You get to play as one of the agile monsters that make up the Flock. Competing against the other monsters, you need to find and claim the Light Artifact. The player that finds the Artifact transforms into the Carrier, a slower and vulnerable humanoid. Only the Carrier can win the match. The game will feature three distinctive maps with their own tactics and level mechanics.

As the Carrier you need to fend off the Flock by shining your light upon them as they are attempting to gain the Artifact for themselves! The Flock are vulnerable to the Artifact's light, but turn to stone when they stand still; rendering them immune to the power of the Artifact.

When you are one of the Flock you must use your increased movability to find the wandering Carrier. Stalk it, frighten it, and pounce when the moment is right.

Population

Unfortunately the game didn't do well enough for the population to decrease in any way worth mentioning. Vogelsap ran out of money a long time ago, and therefore the server that keeps track of the population run out too. We said we would rather go down then change our philosophy for this game. Well.. it became the first thing; we went down.

Please read our FAQ regarding the population to learn more about what it was that we were trying to do.
