Redmatch 2 News

1.32.1 (April 5)

• The Chainsaw hat will now have the spike speed affected by the slowdown at the end of a match
  
• The vote ban settings can now be changed by me remotely so that I can tweak values without updating the game.
  
• Reduced stuttering in the main menu caused by frequent checking of download progress and display of completion percentage for workshop items. More subscribed workshop items leads to more stuttering during the first few seconds after the menu loads due to numerous callbacks on download status from Steam. I might consider optimizing it later, but currently, it only affects players with more than a couple Resource Pack subscriptions and has minimal impact. Mostly this has just resulted in the realization that Steam callbacks are fairly expensive and should be used more sparingly.
  

1.32.2 (April 10)

• Fixed the lag issues introduced in the 1.32.1 patch.
  
• Increased the requirement of participation and vote percentage for vote bans to be successful, and increased the vote ban duration from 15 seconds to 25 seconds to hopefully get more responses.
  

[h2]Update 1.32[/h2]

The level icons were in need of some love, and a lot of players who have made it past level 100 have had to use the same rainbow icon forever. I added new level icons up to level 400 and redesigned all of the old ones with a more sophisticated visual progression.

As an example, here are the changes to the new level 100 icon set:



Changes

• Redesigned all the level icons, and added icons past level 100 (400 is the new highest icon).
  
• Added a menu to view levels and their EXP requirements, which you can access by clicking your level icon in the top left of the main menu.
  

Bugfixes

• The player context menu will no longer go offscreen if you open it on a player at the bottom of the scoreboard.
  

1.31.5 (March 11)

• Added the match name in top left on the scoreboard
  
• Verified players can no longer be banned automatically (can still be vote banned)
  
• Fixed a bug where a corrupted customization file would cause the customization menu to not load as well as a lot of strange things to break in-game
  

1.31.4 (March 9)

• Added "Verified Players." These are players reviewed by me and deemed to be not hackers. They get a special green checkmark icon on the scoreboard and a "Verified Player" notice above their kill banner. The aim of this is to reduce the number of vote bans against good players.
  
• Fixed some missing characters in the Chinese translation
  
• Fixed a bug with the button cabinet on Playground where if you used it you could never leave
  
• Added a new loading screen by Gilikosik
  
• Improved the icon alignment on the scoreboard UI
  

1.31.3 (February 24)

• Infected players no longer get spawn protection
  
• Fixed a bug where in Team gamemodes you wouldn't get damaged the acid on Xeo
  
• Attempted another fix for the match instantly ending when the host started as Infected
  

1.31.2 (February 23)

• Fixed a bug where if a player lost connection and everyone got infected, Survivors would win
  
• (Hopefully) fixed a bug where if the Host of the match got infected at the start the match would instantly end
  

1.31.1 (February 23)

• Fixed a bug where the last survivor leaving could cause the match to go on forever
  
• Fixed a bug where if any player hadn't been assigned to Survivor or Infected (still loading in) the match could go on forever
  
• Fixed a bug where the infected objective would not display if you joined the match late
  
• Fixed a bug created in 1.31.0 where all the settings were lowercase and not translated
  
• Survivors no longer have grapple gear (by default) in Infection
  
• Added new match settings for infection: Survivor Grapple Gear and Infected Bonus Health
  

[h3]Update 1.31[/h3]

This update features a brand new game mode: Infection! After 20 seconds, 12% of players in the match will get infected. The Infected players get a instakill knife and grapple gear. When a Survivor gets killed, they become Infected. Infect everyone to win as an Infected, or survive until the time runs out to win as a Survivor!



Changes

• Added the Infection gamemode.
  

Bugfixes

• Hopefully reduced main menu load time by caching GetComponent references for LocalizedText components in the editor instead of at runtime

• Fixed a bug where after a One in the Chamber match every gamemode would give you one bullet back per kill
