FEATURES

Yay, workshop items! Thanks a lot Constiii, your mask rocks! - it looks way better on my pilot than the gunner-bee mask
I'm not sure whether the current solution to introduce clan-decals (rodger, scrilege, duck) is a good one though. The grant everyone access to everything policy might be a source for community-tension.

Also thanks for the bug fixes and all these little minor improvements!

[Terrkas]

"-popupwindow" doesn´t seem to work.

[Mezhu]

I hate to say it but I can't understand how you took the decision to accept these decals out of all the submitted ones. Save for a couple, the rest look like crap and are a huge drop in quality compared to muse-made ones as well as many other of the community made. Wundsalz also has a good point as usual, but I guess if people submitted those they'd be ok with them being publicly available.

Rest of the improvements are cool

[Dementio]

These engine sounds man, they are so loud when moving forward. I want to decrease in-game volume, but then I won't hear guns shooting at all...

The new yellow line grid doesn't tell me anything anymore. You say it's in 1km intervals, but does it say so in-game anywhere? Might as well keep the old one for consistent design and add the scale on the bottom of the map or something.

Still not convinced that changing the spawns for duel at dawn was the best idea.

Commendations appear in a black window, the white one lookes so much more calming.

Since patch I have some troubles switching windows...

Since patch I have some troubles switching windows...

If by "switching windows" you mean "alt+tab while in fullscreen", it is regrettable but unavoidable that returning to exclusive fullscreen brought back the old issues with switching and minimizing the game window.  If this is something you need to do, use -popupwindow.

For the "-popupwindow" launch option to have any effect, you also need to change the game to Windowed mode in the in-game options.  The only way to get a fullscreen window at the moment is to combine Windowed mode, -popupwindow, and setting game resolution equal to screen resolution.

I'd love to be able to provide all of these as options in the in-game menu but I'm forced to dance around limitations of the Unity3D engine in this case.

[Bronzium]

I'm still trying to figure out how to access the Workshop content you guys approved of? Where is it?

EDIT: Nevermind, found it in my own inventory.

[Steve CZ]

Items in my inventory started to multiply or whatever. Widow's peak holds the record with 6 individual appearances.

[Indreams]

Love the new decals. Love that I have them. Great job everybody!


Just two things on my side.

I kinda miss being able to tab out. Just now, I logged in to check out the decals than tab out to post here, but I had to close the game instead.

Can people tell me which decals are Clan specific, so I can avoid flying them? They're all cool and all (the duck is the best in my opinion), but I'm not in a clan. I'd rather like to avoid presenting myself as though I was in a clan.


Can't comment on gameplay (computer viruses, and I can't play a proper match on my macbook without insane lag), but I'd probably say something along the lines of: I love the bug fixes, and I like how you guys listened to the community with map lines, but take one more step further and add scale pls.

Because switching windows while in fullscreen is as bad as it is, I am used to switch to windowed mode through "alt+enter" and then switch, but it often would not focus the window I was trying to switch too. At some point I even got an error message, I will email the outup file to you guys of course.

[evodoc]

What sound system are you using?

These engine sounds man, they are so loud when moving forward. I want to decrease in-game volume, but then I won't hear guns shooting at all...

[Allien']

I only have one question: Why did you change the map grid?
Just...
It makes no sense to have the map grid to be 1km spaced. I guess its too hard to write in the bottom of the map decription the dimensions of the squares.

[KitKatKitty]

Thanks for the bug fixes and I'm really excited for the logos and other workshop items! Can I ask how often the workshop items will be reviewed and added into the game?

Also: - Dyes can no longer be applied to hairstyles (formerly consumed the item but had no effect)
- Khovansky male hair can’t be dyed anymore

Really with instead of making this not possible you would have gone the other way with this and made ALL hairstyles able to be dyed, that would have been way cooler.

[ShadedExalt]

I love the new Gat noises, I can actually hear when we're being chewed on.
