Revision: LoM v1.5.7a
Release Date: 4/23/21
Patch Size: 20 Issues addressed
Review the build/patch/hotfix list below for a detailed list of resolved issues in the associated build/patch/hotfix.
1 - Fixed a bug that would cause Steam users accounts to get out of sync appearing to not show the correct purchases under specific conditions.
2 - Added the ability for players to Factory Reset their account to wipe local data.
3 - Added the ability for players to Clear Steam Cloud data.
4 - Added a warning notification for players that enabled Streamer mode and run a streaming application while Nudity Everywhere and Nudity for All are enabled.
5 - Improved the warning screen that details if a players account does not meet the minimum requirements.
6 - Removed a function that blocked users from entering the game if they failed the minimum requirements under certain conditions.
7 - Fixed a bug that caused Force Field to not work correctly with the new blocking logic.
8 - Implemented our more complicated fix for the cloud loading issue which will hopefully resolve the remaining users seeing the issue. For clarity we have found that this is a common issue for games that are playing .mp4 videos using the .H264 codec.
9 - Fixed bug that caused the base damage for all pistol skills to not scale properly when upgrading using the Load Out. This change makes it harder to balance this skill. We've selected a new base and will balance from there.
10 - Fixed a bug that caused textures to move on the body when using Bat Swarm.
11 - Fixed a bug that caused lower end systems to crash when using Bat Swarm.
12 - Fixed a bug that caused the new blocked logic to be applied to Stronghold Bosses.
13 - Fixed a bug that caused Large Projectile to deal more damage than intended.
14 - Fixed a bug that caused skills to not cast under specific conditions. Thanks to @Santiclause for providing this clean repro for us to fix. https://streamable.com/qpjbgo
15 - Removed the 4th Dual pistol attack animation that has players stuck in place for an extended period of time.
16 - Fixed a bug that caused the Dual Pistol reticle to always show as red instead of only being red when hovering over a valid target.
17 - Improved the Dual Pistol reticle to animate similar to the other rifles.
18 - Removed the forced camera zoom for Dual Pistols and all Pistol Skills.
19 - Made various improvements to gun melee and related gun skills to make the cancel earlier to not keep players stuck in place.
20 - Made a change to the SIZE MATTERS skill to place double stomps on Left Mouse and Double Arm Ground Smash on Right Mouse. The idea here is to separate these attack and also leave room for additional attacks in the future like Hook and Uppercut Punches for Giant v. Giant battles.
BUILD NOTES
We finally have a confirmed fix for the infinite cloud loading issue. Turned out to be a bug with the engine that we had to work around. We're very excited to get this fix out in the next patch to allow access to everyone that has encountered this issue. With that said I would like to thank @JenoraFeuer, @TitanWarfareTP and @NeoxX / beatdowncore from our Discord. Three amazing Maiden Nation Soldiers that stepped up to help us by providing clean and informative details on the bug, consistent repros and conducted testing for the many builds it took to get the issue fixed. Working in this fashion helped us to significantly speed up the time to resolution. Thank you!
