Repeated intro
Hello Core hunters! This week's patch will release August 16th. We have some quality of life changes and some fixes, but most importantly we have added a 'Consent to Transfer' message/setting for all current players. You can follow this link for all the details as to why we have done this: Change of Publisher If you have any question about this please do not hesitate to post in the thread or message me directly if you see me in-game. Thanks everyone!

Message to All Players
'Consent to Transfer' message and user interface has been added
On September 6th, 2017, Gameforge will be relinquishing its role as publisher of Dropzone and handing the game over to its developers, Sparkypants
All items, game progress and unlocked content remain yours
If you click ‘Yes’ during the popup message your Steam ID and account name will be transferred from Gameforge to Sparkypants
If you click ‘No’ your account details will not be transferred to Sparkypants and you will have to create a new game account if you want to play Dropzone again
If you wish to change your mind, you can do this at any time from the Account Settings menu in the Player Profile section of the game until the September 6th transfer
Miscellaneous Notes
You can now mute individual teammates via the “Show Stats” hotkey menu
The Watch menu filter now remembers the previous search parameters when loading back in
The Friends list is now anchored to the very right of the Main Menu. In situations where a lower resolution still causes overlap of the Friends list and the Global Chat window, there is now proper z-indexing to bring forward the window you have clicked on
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where entering siege mode would clear your current target when it should not have
Fixed an issue where the Rewards Screen would not show up after the Post-Match Results Screen due to a player disconnecting and then reconnecting
Fixed an issue where team coloring during Replays was incorrectly using yellow-green for the right-side team
Fixed an issue where deselecting a rig would break the UI and HUD for observers during Live games and/or Replays
Fixed an issue where the details UI of the replay list would break if you re-entered the Watch menu with the “Show Spoilers” checkbox ticked
Fixed an issue that would cause the Match Seek timer to continue running, falsely, if you left a party after returning to the Main Menu together from a completed match
Various localization fixes
Known Issues
Locking Observer slots in Custom Matches only works when both slots are empty
The Private Match setting only works when the game is already created, so someone can join in-between
Hive Link does not have a cast ring around hives to show where the ability can be cast
Global Chat does not reflect your changed name until you have restarted the game
Due to the new leveling system, older replays will be using observer information that is out of date. A replay wipe will be in the near future, so we suggest video capturing any replays you would like to save
So there you have it everyone. Plenty more is in store for Dropzone in the future, and pretty soon Sniper 3 will be available for everyone! Thanks as always and let us know if you catch any bugs we missed!!
