Redmatch 2 News

1.37.2 (February 25)

• You can now sprint while reloading with the Rifle, Shotgun, and Sniper (the revolver always had sprinting while reloading)
  
• Slightly decreased the speed at which the shotgun recoil returns to default, meaning sustained firing will have a higher accuracy penalty
  
• Changed the way Mod and Dev tags appear in-game
  
• Fixed a bug where you could not start sprinting during a reload with a gun that allowed it
  

1.37.1 (February 7)

• Fixed an issue where custom skins with an offset would be stretched
  
• Fixed an issue where having a color set in a Resource Pack's icon_button_background.json would kick you from the match
  
• The correct player count now displays in the escape menu during a match
  

Hello everyone! It's time for some quality of life and stability improvements, as well a new addition to Resource Packs.

Redmatch 2 uses Steam for networking. After the Steam maintenance on March 26, it appears something was changed on Steam's side which caused players to encounter issues when joining matches bigger than about 8 players.

I've switched the entire networking backend out with a separate one and the issues seem to be resolved. Thank you all for your patience this past week! As always, you can report any issues you encounter on the Discord server at https://rugbug.net/discord and I'll do my best to resolve them.
