Introducing Update 4 – “Ashen” 

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Hello Clone Jockeys,   


The Bachman Media Network is proud to announce the next major content update – Ashen – releasing on Wednesday 12th February.



Things are about to heat up with our three brand new tracks: Scorched, Caldera, and Meltdown. Unique to these maps is a brand-new Flamethrower trap, where one misstep will leave clones crying for mercy as they are set ablaze. Hazardous lava also makes its debut. Even the merest of touches will seriously hurt!


Our sponsors are getting heavily invested in this update – perhaps too much – with the new Ability: Ad Spammer. Temporarily impair your competitors’ vision with pop-ups from sponsors and give them a friendly nudge into the lava as you run past.


And that’s not all: a brand-new suit with fifteen colour variations, ten new ranks for each of the three award tracks, plus plenty of bug fixes and tweaks will all feature in the Ashen update.



Once again, we thank you so much for your continued support and feedback. That’s all for now. See you on the track!

An Update on Update 4

Hello Clone Jockeys,   


A few months ago, we released a roadmap of four updates for DEATHSPRINT 66. Three of these updates are now live, and the fourth was due to release this month.


This update contains a new trap, ability, cosmetics, and three new maps. All of these (except the ability) are connected by the core theme of fire.


Unfortunately, due to current events going on in the world, we feel that it would be insensitive to fully unveil and celebrate this update in the next week as originally planned.


Therefore, we have taken the difficult decision to delay the fourth update until a more suitable time. We are not looking to edit or remove any content from Update 4 and will share an update on new timelines in due course.


If you would like to show support for the victims of the Los Angeles wildfires, here are some resources where you can find out more information:

Thank you for your understanding.

DEATHSPRINT 66 price change

Like a clone that's been punched off the side of the track, DEATHSPRINT 66's price is falling!

DEATHSPRINT 66 Update 3

Hello Clone Jockeys,


Thank you all for playing DEATHSPRINT 66 and your continued support.


Today we are releasing our third major update and are excited to roll out Events, which will bring special time-limited playlists to PvP.


What better way to celebrate this update than to start with an AR map focused event featuring three brand new maps: Sakura, Hard-Drive, and Virus.

That’s not all, as there are plenty more fixes and tweaks in this update, so make sure to read the full patch notes below.


Update 3 will be going live at 11AM GMT, so there may be a brief interruption in play. You will need to restart Steam and download the update when it goes live.


Patch Notes:

Events:

  • Added an Events playlist to Online PvP.
Dev Comment: “Events offer new time limited playlists with featured maps and rules for players to enjoy, offering yet more ways to play.

Now, when you select PvP from the main menu you will find two options. The left ‘Showtime – PvP’ is the current DEATHSPRINT 66 experience featuring all maps with standard rules. The right ‘Special Event’ option will be where you find the new time limited events.

Events will typically run weekly from 6pm (GMT) on Friday until 6pm (GMT) on Monday, giving players plenty of time to enjoy that weekend’s event. While playing in the Event playlist, you will receive 2x Fame helping you climb the ranks faster!

To celebrate this update, our first event ‘Holonet Connect’ – which is a featured playlist of all our AR maps - will be live for an extended period, running from when the update goes live until 6pm (GMT) on Monday, 16th December.

We’ll have more specific details to share soon on what to expect from future events. Aside from curated playlists and 2x Fame, we plan on bringing some fun gameplay modifiers to mix things up even more!”


Offline Mode:

  • Fixed an issue where Awards were displaying an incorrect level on the Clone Data screen while in Offline Mode.


Maps:

  • Added the maps Sakura, Hard-Drive, and Virus to the PvP map rotation, Rehearsal map list, and online leaderboards.

    Fixed an issue on Vertigo where a visual issue would occur when entering areas of the map with water droplets.

    Fixed an instance of a kill volume being sized incorrectly in Greenroom.


UI:

  • Fixed an issue where player banners, rank, and/or profile pictures would be missing on the post-match screen.


Options:

  • Fixed an issue where the player was unable to unpause the game.



Misc:

  • Fixed an issue where the player model was incorrectly lit on the post-match screen.

    Fixed an issue where the Shame Suits were not rendering textures correctly.

    Miscellaneous adjustments and fixes. 



Once again, we thank you so much for your continued support and feedback. That’s all for now. See you on the track!

Keep up to date with the latest times thanks to frequent leaderboard posts over the coming days.



The winner will receive a symbolic whale or dolphin adoption from the Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC), alongside keys for five of Secret Mode’s catalogue – Critter Café, Parcel Corps, Still Wakes the Deep, Make Way, and a key for a friend to join you on track in DEATHSPRINT 66.
