Skullgirls 2nd Encore News

[h2]Compatibility[/h2]

• Fixed a bug that occasionally led to different hit-check order between sprites on Mac and Windows/Linux, causing extremely rare desyncs between them. The order is now guaranteed to be the same on all platforms. Thanks, and sorry, both to Lawnba!
  
• Hopefully fixed a code-signing issue affecting Skullgirls on macOS Yosemite.

[h2]Bugs[/h2]

• Fixed a bug that prevented Beowulf and Fukua from doing air specials using assist inputs right after jumping. (Note that Squigly has a height limit on Fallen Woman, which is why this doesn't work with her. She was not affected by this bug.)
  
• Fixed a bug that would cause Big Band's Cymbal Clash to hit overhead instead of mid if done as a frame-perfect reset after Sound Stun was already used.
  
• Reordered which Robo-Fortune intro is chosen by which behind-the-scenes random number to match other characters' script order. Nobody will notice, but I did. :^P
  
• Fixed a localization error in the Art Gallery in French.

[h2]Graphics[/h2]

• Fixed one more shader interpolation bug that made teeny holes in sprites at resolutions higher than 720p.
  
• Fixed an old shader bug that made occasional incorrect horizontal lines in shadows at resolutions higher than 720p.
  
• Fixed VERY minor cleanup errors in Eliza's standing idle and walk back, and Cerebella's tag out.
  
• Fixed shadows on macOS that we broke with this shadow fix. Sorry! :^)
  

Note: The shader bugfixes were NOT applied to the -disablelighting version of the shaders on Windows, in the interests of keeping the game as fast as possible for the people who use that option out of necessity. Though if you're running that option at high resolution it sort of defeats the purpose of making the game render more quickly. :^)

Title screen build ID 17098.

• Second (probably final) pass on death VO! Big Band's now properly plays, Valleywheel has her own, removed the 'regular' get-hit versions of sounds that became death VO, and redid the effect on all of them. Thanks, mix master Vince!
  
• Fixed Fukua's pupil color in her HUD portrait.
  
• Updated Fukua's character select VO with a line that suits her better.

[h3]Also, the PS4 patch is in progress![/h3]
And there are absolutely no problems whatsoever...

Throw your hands in the air!

• I had a goal, but not that many... And I reached one!
  FIXED the throw-vs-hits P1/P2 difference! P1 Death Crawl and SSJ no longer lose to a P2 meaty throw. Yay? Yay! (This involved a substantial reorganization of the code for handling hits, so please report any NEW weirdness that doesn't work like OLD weirdness. :^)
  (FIXED a bunch of new weirdness that didn't work like old weirdness, from 16906. Heh.)
  
• Pressing Ctrl-C in a Windows PC lobby will now copy the "join this lobby" URL to the clipboard! Thanks Mr. Peck!
  
• Added fast-forward and rewind to Replays! Press HP to rewind by 1 Skullsecond, or Left+HP to rewind 5 Skullseconds. Hold HK to fast-forward, and additionally hold left or right to go slower or faster. Thanks again Mr. Peck!
  
• Hopefully FIXED the crash going from Quick Match to Lobbies, and also quite possibly the crash at the end of a Quick Match game if your opponent quits, (nope, aww) and also maybe the weirdness going from lobbies to Quick Match, all of which were likely the same thing. If any of these still happen to you on this build, please report it!
  
• Reassigned the button shortcut for Class Notes to be what it used to be (i.e. swapped the shortcuts for No Man's Land and Class Notes).
  
• Fixed the lobby All-Play matching code EVEN MORE, to further ensure players don't repeat matchups until they have exhausted all other options. Thanks again-again, Mr. Peck!
  
• Fixed death VO not playing if you got chipped out while pushblocking. Oops.
  
• Fixed a bug where trading with Cerebella's s.MP would cause a stagger as P2 but not as P1. This was unrelated to the other P1/P2 difference.
  
• Improved the framerate of the lobby search and in-lobby screens a bit. There's more to go.
  
• Hopefully fixed avatars not showing up in lobbies sometimes.
  
• Fixed stray middle-of-nowhere pixels nobody will EVER notice in Valentine's standing idle pose. Thanks Gelato, who apparently noticed them.
  

Launch party, celebrate every day!
