Multiplayer merge coming & Pre-Beta 0.4.9

[h3]Hello Vikings![/h3]

The next patch will merge multiplayer Steam branch into default one so you won't need to switch them.
It will become available coming Friday at 19:00 UTC.


[h3]Pre-Beta 0.4.9:[/h3]

[h3]Patch note:[/h3]


  • Added new parrying.
    Based on community requests we reworked parring and added timing elements. They still should be perfected to be more dynamic and satisfying.

  • Fixed server crashes.
    If you couldn't connect yesterday now you can.

  • Fixed weapons sometimes falling through the ground after the player's death.

  • Fixed not being able to pickup dropped weapon UI not showing in multiplayer.



  • Fixed weapons staying in the air after player disconnects.

  • Fixed hitting dead player giving additional kills.

  • Fixed ragdoll flickering.

  • Fixed custom weapon impulses in multiplayer.
    For example, two handed axe last hit throws body with stronger impulse than one handed without sending the character to space.


[h3]Known issues:[/h3]


  • Lightning strike shockwave which should throw player has no impulse.
    Normally lightning strike brings not death only but also damage by a blast wave in area around it.

  • In rare cases game client can crash at the moment of character death.

  • Dead bodies disappear fast after death.

  • Timings and VFX for new parring.

  • Pickup from Dual Wield to Shield and vice versa doesn't work, problem with picking up a weapon dropped by an enemy.


[h3]The next patches bring:[/h3]


  • Multiplayer merge.

  • Norse America and Oceania servers turning on.

  • Maze.

  • Diverse death cries.

  • VFX improvements.

  • Parring improvements.

  • Other additions and bug fixes.


Loki's maze is on the way to be tested in Deathmatch first. Walls move and paths change even while you are inside.




We remind that currently the multiplayer is available on a separate branch. To try multiplayer now, you need to select the public test environment branch in your Steam game settings here:



Right click on VALHALL in your Steam library, click "Properties". Then go to "Betas" and select "publictestenvironment" from the list. Steam will download the branch for multiplayer testing. If you want to revert to a single, select the default branch in the properties. This is a temporary measure.


Skål!
