Update 42: The Palindrome Update

We wanted to get a quick hotfix out before the weekend to solve a handful of issues introduced with the Matchmaking update and several Versus mode exploits that we discovered with the help of the community. We have a follow-up patch in testing now that will be out early next week that solves many of the situations that cause players to be unable to reconnect after a crash, disconnect, etc.

  • Alien players on four-player teams are less likely to have back-to-back spawns of the same Alien now. This is just the first phase of this fix, but we have more coming in future updates
  • When you enable Alien AI in Versus mode, the Alien AI players won’t spawn directly in front of human-controlled players anymore
  • When an Alien player falls out of the world, they’ll respawn as the same alien they were before. Players won’t be able to exploit this so they can select the alien they play every time
  • Players will no longer be able to recover health as alien players when they use the warp option to move closer to the Survivors. When an Alien players moves closer and respawns, they’ll return with the same health they had before they warped
