Minor Update 0.23.09

The very first Early Access patch has arrived. This patch is a regular update, containing a number of quality of life improvements and fixes that didn’t quite make it into the original build.

Several UI elements have been updated, including loading screens, new notifications for downed teammates as well as slicker visual effects for noise events much more inline with the overall aesthetic.

Additionally, with the help of some great community feedback, we’ve squashed plenty of pesky bugs. Notably, spectors will have an easier time with several lighting fixes.

Finally, there have also been a few changes that affect gameplay, such as the inclusion of circuit breakers in Section 2 instead of fuses and the removal of doors consuming equipment items (see notes below as this will be updated again in the near future).


[h2]Added[/h2]
• Added new loading screen with gameplay tips
• Added a new notification UI element that displays on all players screens when a teammate is downed or captured.
• Added new damage screen effects that get more intense as you lose more health.


[h2]Updated[/h2]
• Updated noise visuals to a less cartoon looking UI
• End screen stats now show players' Steam names instead of “Player 1”, “Player 2” and so on.
• Player now faces outwards after exiting hiding places.
• Replaced fuses with circuit breakers for Section 2. Players can no longer use fuses from Section 1 (new models being added in the next update).
• Hiding UI now done with Shift+Alt+Backspace to avoid being used accidentally.
• Electricity warnings on Bravos doors removed.
• Game character now matches the character assigned in the game lobby
• Doors no longer consume items (other than keys and lockpicks). This change is for consistency with other interactions in the game, but will be updated for balance in the future.
