Gonarch HotFix #1 - Code Fixes



We hope you guys are enjoying the latest beta. We've been watching and listening closely to your feedback, and we have pushed our first hotfix. This is a code patch to fix bugs and beta issues with the Gonarch and the new UI. We will have additional code and level fixes in future hotfixes/updates. Thank you so much for your continued testing!

Gonarch and Bebcrab AI Changes
  • Gonarch AI now behaves differently and deploys different attack patterns based on Easy/Normal/Hard difficulty.
  • Fixed bug causing Gonarch to do 250 damage on melee attacks
  • Fixed bug causing Gonarch to spawn 60 bebcrabs instead of 15 in lower arena battle
  • Gonarch shove damage in map B chase reduced by 50%
  • Gonarch shove damage in map C chase reduced by 70%
  • Gonarch shove view punch and knock back amount greatly reduced
  • Gonarch AI tweaks for final lair arena battle.
  • Fixed a crash related to Gonarch mortars
  • Fixed a loophole where Gonarch could die/gib in map A and final upper arena
  • Fixed Gonarch physics throw attack not respecting cool-down system under certain conditions
  • Minor Adjustments to chase AI to make it more forgiving, reduce melee attack damage, and scale based on game difficulty setting
  • Bebcrab jump height reduced to 20 units high, making it much less likely they clip one of your rockets
  • Bebcrab damage reduced by 50%
  • Bebcrab max count in final upper arena reduced by 33%


New UI Fixes / Changes

If you are interested in testing the work in progress UI, use -newgameui as a launch command.
  • Fixed major performance drop when using new UI
  • Singleplayer game is now paused when UI or Console is Activated
  • Brought up default Qt behavior for key Auto-Repeat
  • Game Console: Command Input now has history
  • Game Console: Partial Autocomplete implementation (WIP, expect bugs)
  • Game Console: Log Area now 1-2% faster than old UI
  • Added "Enable Developer Console” to the Game options screen
  • Advanced Settings Menu is now fully hooked up


Known Issues
  • Bebcrabs can still be tracked by RPG. We are testing changes to have them not track/collide with RPG rockets. We think the change in jump height has addressed most, if not all of the problem. Let us know what you think!
  • Columns in the final fight arena still kill the player in 1 hit. This will be fixed in a future level update.
  • It is still possible to get the Gonarch stuck in certain areas of the level. We are testing level fixes to address this.
