MiniRoyale News

[p]Hey Soldiers![/p][p]Merry Christmas! Today’s update brings a bunch of features you’ve been asking for:[/p]

• [p]Fully customizable viewmodel + inspects[/p]
• [p]Offline play with bots[/p]
• [p]Christmas-themed skins in the shop (including a big free skin)[/p]

[p]It also contains some minor and QOL fixes, so hopefully the game feels a bit more polished. Based on the discord vote we switched the gamemode to solo for now. [/p][p]Looking ahead: we’re very close to shipping our new tournament system, and it’ll likely be the next proper update. You’ll be able to join a tourney room, the room host can start it, and the tournament will run automatically — with automatic, customizable rewards handed out based on placement.[/p][p]Have a great holiday season, and thanks for playing![/p][p][/p]

[p]FIxed issue where joining a battle royale server from deathmatch results in connection drop by DDOS protection[/p]

[h3]Greetings Soldiers! [/h3][p]We are happy to announce a big step towards the full Mini Royale release completed! We now have a new partnership with a premium server provider. This allows us to have servers in all regions with the same management. We can deploy updates faster, better debug bugs and better optimize server performance. Additionally, we integrated an advanced DDOS protection system that will greatly help us fight malicious attacks on release (like we experienced on Early Access Launch). The new servers should also help us address the routing issues some players had in SA that lead to a MUCH higher ping than expected. [/p][p]We also switched to the modern replication system Iris that will help us keep server performance under control with many players on a server.[/p][p]
[/p][h3]Patchnotes[/h3][p]Server[/p]

• [p]Integrated complete new server system for the new provider[/p]
• [p]Integrated advanced DDOS protection[/p]

[p]Cross Platform Progression[/p]

• [p]For the consoles we reintegrated the cross platform progression login workflow. We integrated a new optional way to link your Epic Games Account (which is our Cross Platform Provider) via the Account Settings to your already existing Mini Royale account. When you have done that, you can use it to login to your account on any other platform![/p]

[p]Replication[/p]

• [p]Switched our replication system to the modern Iris system from unreal - in our internal tests this massively improved server performance when a server had lots of connections. We are able to disable this new System at runtime, so if there are any netcode related bugs we will be able to revert to the original system till we fix those bugs.[/p]

[p]Maps[/p]

• [p]Reworked Lighting and Post Processing on all Maps[/p]
• [p]Fixed some small map areas[/p]

[p]Misc[/p]

• [p]Faster login due to parallelization of initial requests[/p]
• [p]Fixed some missing icons[/p]
• [p]Small additional server performance optimizations[/p]
• [p]Fixed connection issues with the server when optional services are down (like so many times in the last time)[/p]
• [p]Integrated new system for our server registration, this will allow us to increase our total active servers significantly[/p]
• [p]Fixed server issue resulting in unexpected shutdown while active[/p]

[p]Crashes[/p]

• [p]Fixed rare crash related to Item Drop Skins[/p]

[p]Anti Cheat[/p]

• [p]Anti Cheat updates[/p]
• [p]More granular Client Validation[/p]
