Trailmakers News

[p]Since the dawn of the Trailmakers, Tank Tracks has been the most requested block by far. We have had trouble developing it in the past but this time we sat down and gave it our all.[/p][p]We are not quite ready to show you the block yet but we can now confirm that it is coming in the next update! And it will be free, not a DLC.[/p][p]Stay tuned next week for more info![/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]

Hey Trailmakers!

We have just released a small hotfix that addresses a handful of issues that would arise from a player being ejected from a destroyed seat. This fixes known cases of the below:

• Weapons aiming at own structure.
  
• Repair and transform not behaving as expected.
  
• Player getting stuck on a black screen after a respawn/teleport.
  
• Player structure incorrectly being left behind and not despawned if the player left the server with it spawned in.
  
• Issues with server stability once a structure got into this state which could lead to frequent crashes during gameplay and if a client attempted to join the server.
  

This fix will be arriving on console platforms within the next day or so!

Hey Trailmakers!

We have just pushed a small hotfix that addresses a couple of issues we didn't quite manage to get into the update yesterday!

• Fixed Damage Overlay appearing when other structures take damage.
  
• Fixed sometimes respawning outside of seat after death in Deathmatch.
  
• Fixed sometimes when you die in Deathmatch the kill incorrectly gets attributed to another player.
  
• Fixed killing a member of your own team gives you points.
  
• Fixed an issue with your own weapons deciding to auto aim on your own structure and repair getting really weird after certain events.
  
• Fixed an issue where you should sometimes get stuck on a black screen after a respawn.
  

These fixes and the rest of the 2.1.1 Patch contents will be arriving on other platforms shortly!

[h2]Developer Notes[/h2][p]In regards to Flak Cannon tweaks our goal has been to:[/p]
