Update 0.9.9.7 (1.0 Release Candidate)

The march towards a stable 1.0 release continues! This patch contains a lot of major fixes including some big networking improvements that should fix a lot of disconnection issues. The fixes list is steadily shrinking so a full release is coming soon! Patch notes below:

Bug Fixes

• Lots of network efficiency improvements. Various traps now use a much more consistent method to synchronize over the network which should vastly improve network performance

• Visual fixes on Timed Pit traps which was causing some nasty z-fighting when traps were placed next to each other

• Fixed stencil buffer error which was causing the engine to produce lots of useless error messages in the log file.

• Fixed camera positioning when two players die simultaneously in local multiplayer

• Fixed the screen being revealed when quitting a game during a state transition

• Fixed characters skin colour not being synced correctly over the network

• Fixed bug where the character portraits at the bottom of the screen would sometimes show the wrong player

• Various fixes for errors that could occur when during a game during a scene transition

• Fixed an error that could occur which would cause a pop-up window to get stuck on the screen

• Fixed an error where the trap placing UI would look incorrect briefly after placing a trap

• Fixed a bug that would cause a tile to be “locked” in local multiplayer, preventing more traps being placed on that tile

• Fixed round counting in the game being inconsistent

• Fixed local multiplayer profile/character customise menus getting out of sync when players joined in a specific order in local multiplayer

Local multiplayer UI minor tweaks

Improved loading of level metadata which should fix the issue where pressing “Create Game” in the main menu would cause the menu to freeze for a second or two

Improved the UI for the score screen overlay, the buttons now appear correctly when they are interactive

Updated the mid-game join overlay which appears when during a game in progress

The UI for controller remapping in local multiplayer now correctly shows both Playstation and Xbox prompts when appropriate

Trap placement in local multiplayer should now never get into a state where no trap is selected in some rare cases

Improved how flipper and jump traps animate when triggered multiple times in quick succession
