As I finalize testing for the EA release of Acatalepsy, it has come to my attention that there are a few multiplayer bugs that are more complicated to resolve than I had thought. Multiplayer will be in Acatalepsy on release, albeit less stable than intended and more bug-prone. Singleplayer is always an option, and is enabled by default if the game is started with no friends joined.
Here are the fixes I have made, or attempted to flesh out, immediately before the EA release
Attempted fix at footstep audio being heard at extreme distances
Attempted fix at inventory audio being heard by all players at long distances
Attempted a fix for clients not being put into spectator mode properly after escaping or dying
Fixed various weird audio bugs related to footstep audio in specific circumstances
Bypassed a previous requirement for leaving sessions, allowing clients to leave games now.
For some reason, clients couldn't leave the server's game through the pause menu because some session-specific function was failing. I just bypassed that function and now force-close the client's connection to the server, which might give unintended consequences when rejoining other games. I haven't noticed any bugs coming up related to this fix in particular, so I will continue to observe as time goes on.
I am aware there is a client-side bug related to the modifier wheel not initializing properly on clients, causing the wheel to read default values on all of the wheel's options. I am currently trying to find the cause of this issue and find its fix.
Again, I really appreciate your patience, as this is my first title released on Steam, being my first multiplayer game as well, I'm still learning the ropes. Please bear with me as I figure out how to fix these annoying bugs and multiplayer-related issues.
