1.37.0 patch notes
1.37.0 is now LIVE and available on both Android and iOS
Friend and Clan Member Activity Information
You can now see when your friend or clan member was last online. This information is visible on the friend list or clan members list.
- The information is displayed in four levels of granularity
- Online recently means the player was active within the past two days
- Played (2 - 30) days ago
- Played over a month ago, 30 - 60 days
- Played (2 - 12) months ago, 60 - 360 days
- Played over a year ago, 360 days
Developer’s Comments
This feature was a popular request from players to help with friends and clan members management. It allows players to evaluate better who to keep and who to remove. We decided to avoid providing exact times and defined broader time scales. Noteworthy, the information is visible to all clan members. There is an argument to be made that it is only relevant to clan leaders.
Match-End Sequence
We improved the match end sequence by streamlining player performance information.
- Cleaned up the match end sequence by eliminating non-essential match information
- Added the ability to play the same game mode again
- Exiting the match is now an intentional action by the player
- When the party leader chooses to continue, all party members will join the next match together
Important note
- The ability to play the same game mode again without visiting the lobby will be available sometime after release once we conclude our testing period.
Developer’s Comments
The new flow is more informative and engaging and enables replayability. We wanted to encourage players to continue playing and enjoy the thrill of the game rather than having to navigate back to the main menu and select the mode every time. We hope all players enjoy the new user flow
Post-Match Summary
Addressing the connection between your match performance, XP gained, and rewards, all on a single screen.
- After a match, the summary screen will display the player’s performance, including statistics such as kills, deaths, assists, and other relevant metrics.
- It displays the player’s total XP gained from the matches.
- It displays the player’s progress and any rewards they are unlocking in the Operation Pass.
- The summary screen provides the exact Ranked Matchmaking Rating necessary for promotion and demotion.
Important note
- The post-match summary will only be available to some players when the 1.37.0 releases. Everyone will continue to receive all their progression, rewards, and statistics.
Developer’s Comments
Players can use the summary screen to understand what they must do to improve their game and how they can continue earning rewards.
New custom game options
We are delighted to release our new custom game rework. We have enabled a lot of new customization options for the core modes. Now you can adjust things like your own economy, change some win conditions and explore new opportunities for making your own fun. Do note that some old options might not exist anymore due to the reworks, but we will be working on new features for the custom games.
We have also enabled your basic ability to host some event game modes, such as the fan favorites like Manhunt & Defend. These modes have limited options for customizing the experience, and we would like to see what options you would like to have in the future!
We have also made a hosting mode for Tournaments called “Tournament mode,” this mode has all the rules matching our ranked defuse and our official tournament rules, so players don’t have to set anything. Select how many players and rounds you want and click host; it’s that easy!
For now, custom games only offer English translations. Localizations for other languages will be coming in a future update once we are happy with the base settings, so expect more changes in the future!
Developer’s Comments
Since we started our game mode reworks in 2020, we have been aiming to update our custom games experience. Now we finally have some tools to bring you more new experiences.
Updated audio settings
Added the possibility to adjust master volume as well as music volume.
- Removed the toggle for audio (use a master slider instead)
- Added a slider to adjust the music volume. This also affects victory screen music.
Developer’s Comments
While some event background songs are absolute bangers, we realize that sometimes you want to take that down a notch. We have now revised the audio settings to include a slider for music. This slider will affect any music in the game (that includes victory screen music as well). In the future, we’ll be able to add even more options regarding audio.
Safe areas added to game UI
The safe area component renders the content within the safe area boundaries of a device and leaves nice padding on the device’s screen edges related to UI content. Added the safe area component on a few more menus that were left out on previous work or implementation:
- Profile menu
- Commands menu.
- Inbox menu.
- Delete the account menu.
- Name change popup.
- Landing page or title screen.
- Login popup.
