    Client R8/ Server R12 Patch Coming Soon

    Edit: As you noticed this patch didn't release on time and we are currently fixing some crashes on some maps which has been found by QA. Once we have a new release date I'll update this post and probably make more posts about the new release date.

    We will perform another synchronized client/server update.

    The client update will be roughly 500MB in size.

    Client - Fixed bug where a player could join a server before the stats has been downloaded causing faulty stats in "EOR- unlock progression"-screen
    Client - New chat system allows chatting when dead (but not during end of round) and keeps a 100 lines log
    Client - Improved Play Now functionality
    Client - Removed K/D ratio and Skill Level filters in the leaderboards
    Client - Any points you get while being dead will be added to your score
    Client - Reduced negative mouse acceleration
    Client - More informative disconnection/kick reasons

    Balance Tweaks:

    The Balance tweaks are as follows:

    Slightly increased the damage of the UZI at long range.
    The AKs74u now has more felt recoil when aiming.
    The G3, VSS, and all SemiAutomatic rifles now settle slightly faster between shots when aiming.
    The PKM, Type 88LMG, G3, An94, and 40mm shotgun have returned to their former glory.
    Increased the damage of the MG3 to bring it in line with the rest of the LMGs.
    Fixed a bug where the Saiga12 with slugs would do too much damage at long range.
    Fixed a bug where the SVU would do too little damage at long range.
    Fixed a bug where M95 rounds would not kill armored targets with headshots.

    Server - Banlist can contain up to 10,000 entries
    Probably not large enough.

    Still no fix for VOIP??????

      Exact change log as the one they didn't release yet. I ain't holding my breath for a VOIP fix in the near future either.

        Nice update...now all we need is VOIP!

          Voip works, its just that it has some kind of glitch associated with it that makes it not coherent. Seems it has to do with the amount of traffic, or some other part of the game interfering with it.Thus the staccato voice sound.

          Doesnt seem like that would be hard to track down but then again, I'm not a coder.

              "Gameplay - Advanced Spotting scope works better"

              ...Did it ever work at all? Never worked for me...

              Also, yeah VOIP needs to be fixed and I would imagine they've already attempted to fix it, which makes me wonder if they even have an idea of how to fix it or if it's even possible
              Ahhh...the power of cheese!

                  This patch is lame. They should nerf the CG asap!!! I'm literally starting to hate that weapon and the noobs that use it.

                    They should limit the blast radius and edit the tooltip to say anti-armor warhead.

                        OK, now that is BS. If it doesn't work in HC, it should be greyed out or something...

                              Coming soon was 3 weeks ago. It's not coming any time in the near future it might seem. I think they are having problems patching the SPECACT DLC into the game.
