[dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][h3] 🧭 Patch Notes - Build 406-CL544 (Now Live on Main Branch)
[/h3][p]Changes since the last Main update.[/p][p]Happy demo weekend! Note that during this time the game doesn't use Steam for networking, so that we can have compatibility with the main game and Steam. After the demo period is over, the game will be switched back to Steam only. You don't have to create any new accounts for this.[/p][p][/p][p]Added[/p]

• [p]Ability to change your loadout during the game: Hit B during the spectator screen, or Esc -> Loadout at any point. Takes effect on next deployment.[/p]
• [p]VRAM usage indicator in the video settings screen[/p]
• [p]Better turn-in-place animation for the player, crouching previously had no animation when turning[/p]
• [p]Random map option in the Solo Play screen[/p]
• [p]Simple server API for dedicated dedicated server status queries (for server admins. Call http get /status on port 3000, port changeable with -apiport=xxx (0 disables))[/p]

[p]Edits & Tweaks[/p]

• [p]Adjusted LZs across the maps. Should no longer have helicopter tails clipping through fences etc.[/p]

• [p]Removed temporary bans - just set a duration if you want a short term ban[/p]
• [p]Proper foregrip hold pose for the M38 SDMR[/p]
• [p]Add ticking sound for the lobby auto-start timer (easier for admins to pause the timer if they didn't notice it)[/p]
• [p]Redone G28 reload animations[/p]
• [p]Make the attacker/defender status more obvious on the Lobby screen[/p]

[p]Fixes[/p]

• [p]Permanent bans weren't effective due to time overflow[/p]
• [p]Death recap was always only showing the first death reason[/p]
• [p]AFK kick popup in main menu if if you idled for several minutes during a single player mission (it wouldn't kick you, but the popup was unintended)[/p]

[p]Known Issues[/p]

• [p]The Steam server browser won't show any results for Exfil during the demo period, since Steam is not used for networking as previously mentioned.[/p][p][/p]

[p]Play EXFIL for free now through November 2.[/p][p]No limits. No barriers. Just pure tactical mayhem.
