Tennis Elbow 4 News

[h2]New Features :[/h2]
- Online : it is now possible to host for people behind an ISP Carrier-grade NAT, but they will be only joinable by players not behind a CGNat (*) and with their UDP port correctly open (ie: no push-through) ; to join such a host, you need to update to this version

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Shortcuts : clicking on Controls -> Shortcuts -> Default was corrupting all shortcuts using a Modifier key ; if you did that in the past, do that again with this version to get the Modifier keys back

[h2]Notes :[/h2]
- (*) : if your ISP CGNat uses the same public port when sending packets to 2 different targets, then the Push-Through server will work for you and you'll be able to join Host being a CGNat and you should be already able to host since the last change done on managames.com earlier today

[h2]New Features :[/h2]
- Online : if you press a Modifier Key (Right Control & Shit by default), display a list of all Quick Chat keys triggered by this Modifier key (and another key)
- Career : can now change the starting age when starting a new career as a Pro

[h2]Changes :[/h2]
- Career : it's now possible to change at any time the strike animations & grunts (it's less realistic, but just more convenient, especially for the future console players)
- Strike : nerf a bit the slice, so it's a bit slower when well hit, and noticeably slower when badly hit
- Strike : strongly lowered the spin handicap when hitting a topspin strike on the run
- Strike : strongly lowered the tolerance on raising balls to trigger the Shoulder Height acceleration bonus (ie: if you take the ball a bit too much before its highest point, you won't get a speed bonus on your strike)
- Strike : raised a bit the racket reach when running to the side
- Strike : better prediction if the player will be able to strike the ball or not (so the player won't air-swing if the ball is too far from him)
- Talent : the Slice Mastery talent now strongly reduces the handicap of hitting poorly a slice instead of raising the strike speed

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Animation : fixed several weird dynamic animations when the player was hitting (or almost hitting) a ball far from him, and/or on the run
- Animation : the animation could get slightly out of sync when running after the ball (which was also additionally creating weird dynamic animations)

[h2]Notes :[/h2]
- More tuning on the topspin strike efficiency will come ; this Build is hopefully a 1st step in the good direction...

[h2]New Features :[/h2]
- World Tour : rankings updated to the end of 2020 (this year will be mostly fictional and ignore the issues from Covid)

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Animation : fixed a bug making the players weirdly bend when they were missing low balls from just a bit
- Animation : fixed a bug making the racket jitter a tiny bit when missing a ball by just a bit
- Animation : the 1H-Backhand #1 had the off-hand jittering during the preparation
- Audio : music wasn't turning off after the in-game help message

Bug Fixes :
- Start-up : tried another fix for the crash occurring on start-up (linked to the keyboard hooking, to allow the use of the Windows key as fire button in-game ; if it crashes, this functionality will be disabled on the next launch)

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- 2D Background : some NPCs were misplaced on a couple of stadiums when playing with the 2D Background on
- World Tour : the game was hanging forever when winning a tournament
- World Tour : skills could be wrongly capped when picking up an existing player when starting a new career
- World Tour : removed messages from TEM2 about Federation funding and new trainer arrival
- Training Club : removed the "Export player" button in the Training Club as it was not supposed to work... ːsteammockingː
- Start-up : possibly fixed a crash occurring on start-up on a few PC setups
