Fraymakers update for 12 March 2023

Online

Intermittent freezing improvements

• We've made significant improvements to how the game remedies dropped packets by increasing the amount of historical frame data within each packet. Previously, a major cause of freezes online was one of the game clients not having enough input data from other peers to progress the gameplay. This was not as much of an issue for players with extremely stable connections, but for players that may drop up to two or more packets in a row at times, a freeze could occur frequently. Now we bundle enough historical input data in each packet to allow up to the full rollback window range, which gives the maximum amount of time possible to backfill any missing data.
• A bug was fixed that caused false-positive desyncs to occur frequently, specifically after resuming from a freeze up. This should greatly reduce the likelihood of seeing an inaccurate desync notification.

General

Optimization

• Assist cut-in graphics are now cached before a match starts to optimize spawn timing.
• Improved tracking on graphical memory allocation for damage counters to ensure a more reliable cleanup after being destroyed.

Menus

Controls

• Fixed bug that prevented the right trigger deadzone setting on controllers from being saved by the profile.

Custom Content
