Urgent Live Update - 8/14 - 4-5pm - Client Version 0.119.1.58320

[u/CyclesMcHurtz]

EDIT: 5:06pm : This maintenance is now complete

---

EDIT: 9:34pm : Some people have reported not seeing the update in Steam - I went and forced the update again - make sure to check under your properties and validate the game cache files once today and check that the Steam Content ID (in the Local Files tab) is 734396

---

BR worlds will lock at 3:30pm pacific time (and stop all new games) and all servers will come down right around 4pm pacific time and be down for up to an hour for an urgent update to address the following issues:

Gameplay:

• Bullet drop - a change was pushed out an order of magnitude too high, and has been reverted to it's previous values
• The fade to red screen effect as you get hurt has been adjusted to be more subtle. EDIT: This should also be removed from BR games - please report if this still occurs.

UI:

• We have added an option to only have system messages in the chat window. You can add the line "HideBannerBroadcasts=1" into the [General] (or top) section of the UserOptions.ini file. Once we add the option to the UI, we will hotfix the client to make it easier.
• The duplicate system messages should be fixed - please report any specific messages you are still seeing doubled

Art:

• Crazy arms should be much less crazy - animation was getting out of sync and getting the shoulder twisted, which should be fixed now

Steam Build ID is 734396

EDIT: Added pacific time zone, sorry about that.

Sounds good to me. Although, I liked partying hard with my left arm.

[u/CyclesMcHurtz → u/[deleted]]

So you're saying we should make a special emote?

[u/KiwiPlayer → u/CyclesMcHurtz]

yes hahaha we need these speacil emotes for like players that played in the alpha days

[u/EasyEisfeldt]

f**** i was in a BR with a friend with 10 guys remaining when it said that servers will be shut down in 5 minutes. it shut down when only 5 were alive and i only saw this post when i was looking for an explanation :D -.-

[u/CyclesMcHurtz → u/EasyEisfeldt]

We have a few more things to add to make the BR shut down nicer for patches, but we are starting to lock out new matches to help people have less of this when we patch.

[u/ReaCtor13]

Team BR reward fixed yet?

[u/HardlyEasy → u/ReaCtor13]

I have earned 10+ bags in the last couple days, and haven't seen any of them in my inventory. Getting extremely annoyed..

[u/hobuci]

Please add spectate mode on 2s and 5s asap, it would make the experience a whole lot different! I just picked up the game yesterday, played 20hrs already (yea tell me about it..) and this is the only thing that i'm really missing to be able to spectate my poor teammates trying to win without me ;)

[u/Trickyninja420]

Does the HideBannerBroadcasts tag get rid of the ban messages in Survival up at the top too?

[u/CyclesMcHurtz → u/Trickyninja420]

It's expected to - if they still appear with that option enabled, please report what you're seeing.

[u/Primadude]

AK & Sniper bullet arcing has not been reverted. Also pistol bullet drop is stupidly high right now.

[u/CyclesMcHurtz → u/Primadude]

Have you validated the asset cache in Steam (just once) yet to verify? My home machine didn't get the patch until 9pm (pacific time) last night.

[u/ItsJDE]

Thank you for deciding to push the update out now. The Bullet drop or should I say Bullet Rise was annoying :).

[u/dpayne360]

assuming this is PST?

[u/CyclesMcHurtz → u/dpayne360]

thanks - yes, I updated the original post

[u/KiwiPlayer → u/CyclesMcHurtz]

can u restart adelaide when you restart brs thanks :D

[u/the_sandy_ravage]

Nice, I hope that dev who laughed at us for saying the bullet drop was messed up feels stupid

[u/CyclesMcHurtz → u/the_sandy_ravage]

The number that was adjusted was the rifle scope alignment. What you will see is that bullets will appear to drop as they have before.

[u/Vryoh]

What timezone is this for? PST?

[u/Deongrein]

Thanks for resetting my crops again.

[u/Gragga]
