Tribes Beta Version 0.1.865.0 Patch Notes

Version 0.1.865.0 was deployed on Tuesday, March 27, 2012.

Major Highlights

• Three new weapons and two new skins have been added to the Infiltrator class. Watch the Cloak & Dagger Update Video for more.
• A new Arena map, Walled In, has been added to the Quick Play rotation.
• Several additional HUD features have been implemented, including:

• Flag status (who is carrying the flag and timer until flag reset).
• Friend Notifications when players come online/go offline.

Weapon/Balance Items

• Three new weapons added for Infiltrator

• Jackal: The Jackal fires up to three rounds that stick to any surface, and are remote triggered for detonation.
• Throwing Knives: Throwing Knives deal impressive damage on a direct hit, and have a small splash damage radius.
• Smoke Grenade: Instantly vanish without waiting the normal reveal time from taking damage or firing a weapon. In addition, remain in stealth for 2 seconds even if you take damage. Firing a weapon will still break stealth.

• Adjusted visual style on Infiltrator's Prism Mines to be more in line with other mines and harder to detect at long range.
• Fixed an issue where Shrike's were not taking damage from bullet projectiles at certain angles and locations.
• Added improved proximity checking for deployables to prevent the Doombringer's force field from covering the flag when placed at certain angles and locations.
• Pathfinder's Bolt Launcher projectile now detonates after 6 seconds of flight, reduced to match that of the Heavy Bolt Launcher and Spinfusor type weapons.
• Direct-hit damage bonus reduced by roughly 4% on Pathfinder's Bolt launcher.
• Increased knock-back from Pathfinder's Light Spinfusor by approx. 10% (now matches the Bolt Launcher).
• Increased damage fall-off on Sentinel's BXT1 Sniper Rifle. Falloff range is 33% more aggressive, and the maximum falloff amount was increased 5%.
• Improved the targeting of Call-In's when targeting terrain.

Additional Items

• If a player jump/jets while already going faster in the Z axis than the jump would set, the jump no longer resets the Z-axis velocity. This fixes an issue in which a jump/jet could slow your momentum unintentionally.
• Additional work has been done to eliminate some "deadstops" while skiing/jetting. Please report any remaining situations in which you stop movement suddenly and unexpectedly while skiing.
• The current match is now hidden from the scoreboard when players are at the Team Selection screen. A future patch will hide additional information.
• A variety of cleanups have been made to several maps.
• Implemented a change intended to fix a situation in which hit/damage numbers would be delayed in appearing. Please report if you still see this issue..
• Fixed an issue that would cause the flag to fall through the world in some conditions.
• Fixed an issue where the Brute's Nova Colt could lose texture resolution at high speeds
• A variety of backend server work has been done in preparation for future functionality.

Known Issues

• Damage numbers from your turret may appear over reticule where not expected.
