CHANGES AND UPDATES
[p align="start"]Quality of Life Update for Opening a Drop[/p]- [p]Opening a Drop used to mean watching the full animation. Every. Single. Time. Pretty fun at first, not so fun when you’re sitting on hundreds of them. To speed things up, we’re adding a new setting that lets you skip the animation and open Drops instantly. Less waiting, more items. [/p][list]
- [p]This new setting is called “SKIP DROP OPENING ANIMATION” and is a toggle in the Settings menu.[/p][list]
- [p]The Drop animation will only be skipped if this setting is toggled on (i.e., players cannot press a button to skip the animation).[/p][/*]
- [p]The Open Drop confirmation popup has been removed to streamline the experience.[/p][/*]
- [p]We’ve added UI improvements to make Private Match admin functionality toggleable and clearly visible throughout the match flow.[/p][/*]
- [p]Global Match admins remain unaffected and retain admin status at all times.[/p][/*]
- [p]Breakdown of the improvements:[/p][list]
- [p]Added new Match Admin Controls option toggle: Enabled / Disabled (Disabled by default)[/p][/*]
- [p]Updated the Selected Mutators list to display a “Match Admin: ON” indicator at the top.[/p][/*]
- [p]Added a top-right Admin indicator when Match Admin is ON.[/p][/*]
- [p]Admin indicator now appears during:[/p][list]
- [p]Arena intro sequence[/p][/*]
- [p]Countdown[/p][list]
- [p]Indicator disappears once gameplay begins[/p][/*]
- [p]Indicator hides again upon resuming gameplay.[/p][/*]
- [p]The field is hidden when no admin data exists.[/p][/*]
- [p]Based on community feedback, we added a “Yes (Stop Asking)” option to the “You are about to leave this match and enter Free Play. Continue?” question. This allows players to disable the prompt entirely.[/p][/*]
BUG FIXES
[p align="start"]General[/p]- [p]Fixed an issue where players with very large friends lists could experience stuttering during gameplay. [/p][/*]
- [p]Fixed an issue where LAN hosts could not see their own typed chat messages.[/p][/*]
- [p]Fixed an issue where Fast Free Play would fail to launch if the previously selected Free Play Arena was set to Random. [/p][/*]
- [p]Fixed tail light brightness inconsistencies on the Porsche 911 Turbo, Breakout, and RAM 1500 RHO Car Bodies. [/p][/*]
- [p]Resolved an issue where VSync settings were not functioning correctly. Players should now experience reduced input latency when VSync is turned OFF.[/p][/*]
