BUG FIXES

Fixed an issue involving the Ping Wheel getting stuck on the interface when bound to the Z key.

There was an issue with matchmaking that prevented matches from being played in the first 2 weeks of the Episode 9 Act 1 stage. Contender and Invite divisions were unaffected and these teams successfully played their matches.

  • Issue has been fixed and teams should be able to find matches successfully for week 3 and on.
  • Any team that plays a match in the IBIT zone in week 6 and before will automatically qualify for playoffs.
  • Teams that have already played a match in another EU zone can still earn the playoff qualification in IBIT, but will require teams to create a new roster in the IBIT zone and play a match.
  • Teams will qualify for playoffs by receiving 600 points before the start of week 7 matches.

GENERAL UPDATES

  • It is now possible to freely rebind non-ultimate Ability Button mappings.
  • Added settings for inverting map cursor controls.

AGENT UPDATES

  • Slide
  • Second Blast Pack
  • Double Tap : Duration: 20s >>> 12s
  • Signature kill reset removed.

MAP UPDATES

  • Lotus enters Competitive, Unrated, Swift Play, and Deathmatch queues.

MODES UPDATES

  • Deathmatch is experiencing an issue and will be unavailable on Console until a fix can be shipped.

SOCIAL UPDATES

  • Updated the notification indicator on the social card so that it’s easier to tell when you have a party invite even when the social panel is closed.
  • Added voice indicators to the Party tab in the social panel, so you can see who is speaking.
  • Added a button to leave the party to the My Party section of the Party tab in the social panel.

BUG FIXES

  • Traditional Preset Weapon Switching Fixes
  • Fixed issue where you couldn't switch off from the Spike when you had no primary when using the ‘Traditional Controls’ Preset.
  • Fixed an issue where you could sometimes lose visual highlighting on the buttons you hover over in the front-end menus.

  • Fixed issue where you could be in Focus Mode while inspecting your weapon.

  • Fixed a bug where your presence sometimes failed to update after a match.

KNOWN ISSUES

  • When navigating Surrender menus, there's a chance your controls can become locked for an entire round. Due to this, we've elected to disable the Surrender and Remake menus until we can properly fix the issue. Draw will remain functional.
