Treadnauts Patch Notes v0.45

UPDATE 2/18/2018: “The Lightspeed Update”

In this update, we’ve brought you a new and improved matchmaking system that will make it much easier to find a game.

We’ve also got THREE new modifiers, and guess what—they all work online! No level requirement for these—go nuts!

In addition, we’ve fixed a bunch of bugs, especially those related to stability issues while matchmaking or picking characters in the Online lobby.

NEW ADDITIONS:

• Matchmaking now searches in nearby regions as well as your own, greatly improving odds of finding a match

• Lasers, Stealth Mode, and Split Shot are now available as modifiers!

• A new modifier preset, “Stealth Mission”, is now available!

• Added Lasers to the “Astronauts” modifier preset

• You can now see other players’ country flags in the online lobby

BUG FIXES:

• The 13th map in each zone now properly shows up in rotation! If you want, you can pretend like we just added 4 new maps!

• Bullets can now be skipped on water online

• Improved online player syncing while underwater

• Fixed an issue on Mac where screens (such as in the tutorial or Wave District) would turn white and become unreadable

• Fixed online players sometimes falling off of surfaces before a match begins

• You can no longer break your own shield while self-kills are turned off

• Players no longer get reset to weird angles when a new player joins an online lobby

• Fixed online players frequently sorting in front of things they shouldn’t be

• Sticky Grenades can no longer be turned on via the random button in Online mode

• Landing on the Science Ball while someone else owns it now properly sets it to your color

• Fixed an issue where the Science Ball zap sound effect could persist forever

• Fixed an issue where backing out of a matchmaking search right as you found a match would cause you to get trapped in a match by yourself

• Panel camo now displays properly if a player dropped in before you connected to an online lobby

• Fixed an issue where multiple characters could be dropped in at once by mashing the button

• Fixed bugged shot effects in the online lobby that would linger forever

• Fixed an issue where a tank could drop in without a player, causing bugged visual effects

• Fixed an issue where two or more players could end up in control of the same panel in the lobby

• Improved Science Ball syncing online

• Fixed visual errors related to usernames on the scoreboard

• Status text in the matchmaking lobby now says “Searching for Game” while the master is queueing with a buddy

• Fixed a small text bug for non-English languages in online lobbies

We’ve got an exciting week ahead. Now is a great time to join our Discord channel, make some friends, and play some Treadnauts matches online!

See you there!
