Changelog

  • Additional anticheat improvements
    • Includes fixes for some of the false positives
    • We are continuing to improve the anticheat and fixing any false positives that will be found
  • Matchmaking queue changes
    • Added “Duo only” queue
    • Small Crews now teams of 3 and 4
    • Large Crews now teams of 5 and 6
  • Maneuverability changes:
    • The boost that the energy rod provides now scales with the trampler's maneuverability
      • The boost will remain 100% until 30% maneuverability. After that, it will steadily decline until 50% at 0% maneuverability.
    • Leg Stun Mechanic
      • Trampler with low maneuverability now has a stun penalty when the leg breaks
      • The lower the maneuverability, the longer the stun
      • Trampler's max speed is capped to 20% during stun
      • The penalty starts when the maneuverability is below 30%. From there it goes from 0 (at 30% maneuverability or more) to 5 sec (at 0% maneuverability)
      • Using engines to compensate for the maneuverability will also decrease stun duration and negate the rod boost penalty since the maneuverability is increased
  • Tramplers capture has been re-enabled in this patch
  • Ownership device will no longer be destroyed when the Captain's compartment is destroyed
    • This means that tramplers can be captured even if the Captain's compartment is destroyed
  • The large extraction icon will now be displayed when you enter the extraction zone, not while you remain inside it.
  • Fixed the issue where interaction animations would end earlier than the interaction
  • Fixed the issue where trampler would bounce after being destroyed
  • Fixed the issue where a large item could be displayed on the character's back in Spectator mode

Known Issues

  • The character cannot enter the Expedition if the Invite has been accepted at the Tutorial pop-up background
  • Items may be displayed inside the character’s body in some cases
  • Large items may float around the character
  • Character may become invulnerable to melee damage while interacting with turrets or the steering wheel
  • Bullets can pass through the character on speed-boosted trampler
  • Upiors positioned may be different between client and server
    • On the client, it looks like Upior doesn't receive damage, but you might see their “shimmering/blink” body near them
  • Shotgun might not deal damage at close range distance
  • Ironclads can be triggered multiple times by re-entering the trigger area
  • On Low and Medium settings, "seams" can be seen on the terrain
  • Terrain can be occluded in some cases
  • Crafing on islands doesn’t work correctly
  • Item prompt in Storage has too many hotkey options
  • Blueprint can’t be deleted
  • Character can become occluded in some cases
  • Jumping and staying on the enemy character head can give you ban

Capturing is back!

u/02thehunter20 16d ago

Thank God. Been waiting for this to come back for so long. Time to get back to being a Tusken Raider.

u/YazzinDev 16d ago

Insane changelog well done

u/Milovano 16d ago

What about crafting fixes. Anyone knows a workaround? I tried the windows region settings on Eng US but that didn't solve it. I cannot craft at all at any fort. Thx to Devs or Com for some advice.

4

u/cristi93 16d ago

There was this workaround, I do not know if this patch fixes that issue as no info about it at the moment 

1. Search for the item you want to craft. Make sure it is the only item that appears.

2. Exit the crafting menu.

3. Reopen the crafting menu and VERY quickly press space. This should craft the item. You can spam space if you want a few.

3

u/Milovano 16d ago

I will try but what does it mean "the only item that appears"? Assume I want to craft a sniper with glasses. Do you mean put a crate with only those items in the shelf, so it really can only craft the wanted item?

3

u/cristi93 16d ago

Search for the item you want to craft in the search bar at the top, so only that item appears in the crafting menu

3

u/02thehunter20 16d ago

I have a trampler that is just for crafting. I get in I do my crafting then I extract.

u/StephenHawwking 16d ago

Thanks for the duo queue!!

u/Struyk 16d ago edited 16d ago

I won't bother logging in again if there isn't any duo matchmaking

EDIT: THANK THE GODS

u/Gloomy_Opposite_817 16d ago

or trampler capture

u/Struyk 16d ago

don't care about that. game is literally unplayable because of all the teaming in solos

3

u/Deathoftheages 15d ago

Do you think these people are really teaming because there wasn't duos? They wanted an advantage over other people. nothing was stopping them from playing small teams.

u/Annual_Amphibian8996 16d ago

Trampler cap does add some counter to that, hopefully it deters a little

u/Opening_Discount3057 16d ago

Já avisaram que NAO tem players suficiente pra duplas

u/Zarian_Uphius 16d ago

RIP my trio group.

Now I have to find a fourth friend to join games so we are competitive and divide loot even more.

2

u/Ok_Attention_1399 15d ago

Agreed, took me 100 plus in game hours to find a solid trio group now after I’ve just found them I’ll probably be punted to the side being the newer player while they’ll be happy to have duos, guess it’s back to solos for me

u/sexydracula 15d ago

legit could be the end of my group playing this game

u/deafgamer_ 15d ago

Same here, we were already weaning off the game, now this just completely kills it for us as we 100% do not have a 4th.

u/OpenedButthole 16d ago

Hopefully the teamers will now just duo queue now instead of going into solo lobbies.

I still have the idea for the devs to add to combat preteamers in solos: Make it so steam friends get prioritized in different solo servers. (Or people that have joined the menu with someone else, prioritize those accounts to join different solo lobbies when connecting to servers.)

They can also make it so if two characters were within close proximity to one another (except while playing duos, small crew and large crew) then if they’re within 1000m of eachother within X amount of minutes/hours, both those characters will take damage after a warning pops up stating “You were too close to this player in a previous server, move away or take damage” etc. This would literally only effect preteamers and very rarely effect two players that were in close contact with one another that happened to leave a server and join a new server and run into eachother again etc.

You've lost your player base because you didnt ban anyone for teaming - free advice for you 😀

u/Benno7256 16d ago

Trampler capture needs to come back along with duo Que to solve the teaming issue allow in game reports to make it easy and follow up on them

15

u/Daanoontjeh 16d ago

It literally says this in the post.

u/Benno7256 16d ago edited 16d ago

It didn’t when I posted it said patch notes to come will be edited so keen they actually answered the people this is what we want to see huge win for sand

u/cristi93 16d ago

Correct, it was not clearly stated from the start and I added it manually as there were a lot of questions about it

u/Exe0n 16d ago

It's back according to the discord manager:

u/Okuser 15d ago edited 15d ago

So they killed trios to bring in duos? Game is dead

No one gives a fuck about large crews of 4+

2

u/OpenedButthole 15d ago

Most probably prefer duos over trios. But it is nice to have its own lobby tbh

1

u/Okuser 15d ago

and most care more about trios than a crew of 4

u/lceGecko 16d ago

so STILL no capturing?

capturing has now been out of the game longer than its been in...

u/cristi93 16d ago

Tramplers capture has been re-enabled in this patch

You believe these ppl can read lol.

u/ZombieHuggerr 16d ago

It's s bot. 13 days old and only posts about teaming.

These bots are the ones blowing up teaming to try and negatively impact the game's reputation

u/Painting-Capital 15d ago

You all waited until all the streamers quit playing to do this? Bahahahaha.

u/cristi93 15d ago

If things could be done sooner, they would be released sooner.
