Movement improvements + major FPS issues fixed
Greetings!
After much debate about the movement on our Discord and after some objective comparisons to Soldat 1 [previewyoutube][/previewyoutube] I made some, I hope, significant improvements. The biggest issue was momentum not being preserved by the gostek with multiple moves stacked up. It should be much better now (too high ground drag seemed to be the issue).
Superman is now EASIER to use. Just hold Shift (or your configured key) and you can jet horizontally like in Soldat 1. If you want to do Superman 360 hold the RMB (jet key).
I put a lot of work into finding the reasons for FPS drops and general lag. I think I managed to fix most of the issues. The game is MUCH smoother now! These changes also affect the dedicated server so the netcode should be better too.
More improvements ahead!
See you in the game!
