Patch Notes – Team Deathmatch, New Events and Advanced Lighting (Mar.19.2020)

Dear Adventurers,

Welcome to the latest official patch notes for Ring of Elysium. Here are the full details:


[h3]New gamemode- Team Deathmatch[/h3]
  • Introducing the 4V4 TDM- a gamemode that allows you to focus purely on the thrill of gunfights in ROE. In this limited-time mode, players will be put into two 4-player teams to compete in a small arena on Campbell Shooting Range. Eliminating your opponents and earning scores will be your only goal, enjoy the non-stop action!
  • The TDM LTM is available from 18:00 to 22:00 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) for EU server, and 19:00 to 23:00 PT (Pacific Time) for NA server, and 18:00 to 22:00 GMT+8 (Beijing Time) on every Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday
  • Team Deathmatch is FPP and grappling hook only. Before the game starts, players can select from 6 tactical abilities and 9 weapon loadouts
  • There’s no “knockdowns” in TDM, when HP goes to zero, players will be directly eliminated and respawn in two seconds. Players drop their loot normally, but the elimination boxes will shortly disappear
  • Players can press “M” to change their loadout mid-game, which will be switched after they respawn
  • There’s a five second grace period after players respawn. However, the grace period will immediately stop if the player fires their weapon
  • Players automatically recover their HP if they haven’t taken any damage for a period of time, any incoming damage will stop the recovering process
  • Each elimination adds 1 point to your team, the team that reaches 50 points first will win the game. If no teams reach 50 points by the game ends, the team with the higher score wins the game


[h3]Real-time Dynamic Global Illumination[/h3]
  • We have implemented a full real-time dynamic lighting system, bringing a better visual and graphic experience to you
  • The new advanced lighting feature is fully dynamic and real-time, with a corresponding change in both dynamic weather/time periods and dynamic scenarios, making it realistic and natural
  • This feature is only available with the DX12 client, and can be found in the advanced graphic settings

Patch Notes – Input Latency and Performance Optimization (Mar.5.2020)

Dear Adventurers,

Welcome to the latest official patch notes for Ring of Elysium. Here are the full details:

[h3]Performance[/h3]
  • Optimized the client's memory and VRAM usage
  • Optimized the size of client updates


[h3]Settings[/h3]
  • Added the "Reduce Input Latency" setting, enabling this feature will effectively reduce the mouse input latency in-game, but may also reduce frame rates
  • Some backstory on this feature:
    • Thanks to the feedback and help from enthusiastic players in the competitive community, our client team were able to look into the reasons why ROE has slightly more input latency compared to other games, and we found out a variety of shooters on the market utilizes an Nvidia feature called “Ultra-low latency”:
    • However, that feature only works under a non-DX12 environment, so our devs swiftly developed a mechanism implementation of that feature into ROE, effectively reducing the mouse latency in-game by up to 47% at a very small cost of framerates (about 5%).
    • It’s worth noting that the "Reduce Input Latency" setting works with both Nvidia and AMD users. Again, we want to express our appreciation to all the amazing feedback from our community, thank you for inspiring us to continuously improve the game, and let’s continue to work together and make ROE a better game!

Season 7 Extension + Season 8 Teaser Announcement and Feb. 27 Patch Notes

Hello Adventurers!

With Season 7 coming to an end, we can’t wait to share some exciting news with you today- Ring of Elysium’s new map, Vera, will be released at the launch of Season 8!

In addition to the highly-anticipated new map, there are also plenty of other content and improvements to look forward to, including a new 4V4 gamemode, a new traversal equipment, new vehicles, a lighting update, and many other new attempts. We hope these new attempts, combined with the new map, will really give the game a “facelift” and help us kick off 2020 with a bang.

[h2]About the new map - Vera[/h2]
Vera is located on the east side of the Andes Mountains. Originally, mineral resources were the mainstay of the economy, attracting a large number of outsiders to make a living there. Later, due to the reduction of resources, the economy began to decline, and the population decreased year by year. Eventually, Vera became a no man's land.

Vera’s secluded environment attracted the attention of mysterious forces, who hired a foreign legion to take control of the area. The crisis lurks beneath the sprawling desert, and a huge explosion fills the sky, shattering the facade of Vera's supposed silence…

A large amount of radioactive fallout falls into the area and is spreading out rapidly. Players must rush to the evacuation point in a limited amount of time as the level of hazardous substances in the environment rises.

To adapt to the arid environment, a new traversal equipment and new vehicles will also be introduced in this map.

The evacuation helicopter only has four seats, so players not only have to flee from the terrifying sandstorm, but also fight with other players for survival!

Vera's secret lies beneath its sand. Are you ready to find out the truth?

[h2]Adventurer Season 7 Extension Announcement[/h2]
Currently, the development team is giving their best effort to finish the new map, in order to ensure the content quality, and at the same time, provide more time for players to complete their Pinnacle Challenges for a free Season 8 Adventurer Pass, we have decided to postpone the end of Season 7 to April 9, 2020.

During this period (February 27 - April 9), we will be launching a variety of in-game events, a 4V4 TDM gamemode, and implement a dynamic lighting system to improve the quality of the game, stay tuned!


[h2]New content in Season 8[/h2]
[h3]4V4 Team-deathmatch mode[/h3]
  • A new gamemode is coming! The new 4V4 TDM allows you to focus on experiencing the thrill of gunfights. In this mode, players will be put into two 4-player teams to compete in a small arena. Eliminating the opponent and earning scores will be your only goal, enjoy the non-stop action! The 4V4 TDM mode is expected to be released in March. Stay tuned for more details


[h3]Real-time dynamic global illumination[/h3]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBObzCCkzI4&feature=youtu.be
https://youtu.be/WETAqqbPmfo
  • We have optimized Ring of Elysium by adopting a full real-time dynamic lighting system, bringing a more realistic visual and gaming experience to you
  • Lifelike look and feel: illumination algorithm upgrade- calculated by the law of real world light propagation, boosting the graphics close to a “lifelike” and “cinematic” level
  • Real-time full dynamic lighting: other than the improvement to lighting quality itself, the bigger highlight is "dynamic". Many AAA games in the industry often use a pre-computed approach when it comes to lighting, which results in the lighting being "still," with only one time period and one weather condition. However, our new lighting system is fully dynamic and real-time, with a corresponding change in both dynamic weather/time periods and dynamic scenarios, making it realistic and natural
  • Mainstream configuration compatible: the new lighting system implements an accelerated optimization algorithm for mainstream graphics cards. You won’t need a monster PC to run the game with the full-dynamic "cinema-quality" lighting settings. And in the future, we will be adopting ray tracing technology to improve the efficiency and quality of ROE even further

  • We have brought the Adventurer Tier Boosts back to the Store! There are three levels of Adventurer Tier instant boosts available for purchase (+1, +10 and +20 tiers)
  • A few tips:
    • Players can purchase adventurer tiers at the Store or through the "Buy Tiers" button under the Adventurer Pass interface

    • Please note that players will not be able to purchase adventurer tiers if they are already at tier 100

[h3]Gameplay[/h3]

ROE DEV Team
