  • Removed the third level platforms around the map.

  • Added blocking volumes to smooth pathing in many areas.

  • Removed spawns from bottom level positions and randomly around map. All players will now spawn within one of four main spawn rooms.

  • Many paths have been widened and others have had cover added to them.

  • The central area has been modified greatly. It is no longer an octagon and is instead in a square shape. This created a larger play area on top as well as within the central room.

  • Added and modified the cover on top of and inside of the central area.

  • Prettied up some of the static meshes with texture painted moss.

  • Added four new paths which lead from the bottom of one side of the spawn rooms and then connect to new center paths which lead under the central area.

  • Adjusted the lighting in various areas. Some will be darker and others lighter.

  • Adjusted reverb volumes within the new underground tunnels.

  • Added wind.

  • Added pathnodes so the AI can navigate properly.

FFA Sanctuary:

  • Removed the basement water area. This area was very frustrating to fight in and was a bad middle ground between a dangerous area and a normal one.

  • This map also got beautified by texture painted moss.

  • Changed out of bounds collision from AllButWeapons to BlockAll.

  • Changed the out of bounds rocks to more closely match those on FFA Ruins as both maps are in the same geographical location within the world.

  • Minor layout and collision changes in various areas.

Misc

  • Fixed an issue where the game version shown on the bottom left was hard to read.

  • Removed an unnecessary package (Grim_TestingGrounds) from the Startup Packages which are always loaded. This should be a minor performance help for some players.
