EA Update 1.7.0 - Public Lobby Browser

Summary

Update 1.7.0 brings public lobbies to Enemy On Board. This feature will eliminate the need to go into our Windwalk Games / Enemy On Board Discord to find matches. Additionally, we've addressed an FPS drop issue that occurs in custom-matches of less than 8 total players.

I've made this a Major Update since our community has been "quite vocal" about it. Shout out to Cris for implementing the public lobbies and Rosco for addressing the FPS issue. The Windwalk Games team thanks you for your patience.

Public Lobby Browser

Update 1.7.0 brings public lobbies to Enemy On Board. Private lobbies ARE STILL AVAILABLE and will not show up in the lobby browser.

Functionality

• Kick - Party leaders can kick a turbulent/unruly player from the lobby. The player will be able to return.

• Ban - Party leader can ban a turbulent/unruly player from the lobby. The player will not be able to return to that specific lobby.

• Transfer Party Leadership - Party leaders can transfer the responsibility to another user

• Within Lobby Invites - Steam Friends List integration and link sharing using the "Copy Link" button as per usual.

• Mute - Left-click the Volume Icon to mute a player

• Volume Slider - Rightclick the Volume Icon and use the slider to adjust volume

Uses

• Naming - Please try to be descriptive with your lobby names - example "Cool Game - Classic 2 Aliens" or "Custom 4 aliens 2x Speed"
