Client Updates Released (11 May)

[Stormeus]

Multiple client updates have been released for 04rel002.

Update 1

• All sprites (including absolutely positioned/non-relative sprites) now scale according to the resolution of the game window.
  
  • The scaling ratio is calculated as (ScreenWidth / 1024, ScreenHeight / 768)
  • See Update 3 for further developments.
• Fixed sprites making calculations based on the resolution of the screen, and not the game window.
• Fixed screenshots failing if game_windowed was set to 0.
• Fixed an uncaught exception that could cause the game to crash while connecting.
• Reverted a change that made players who were in the middle of shooting send more sync packets.

Update 2

• Fixed an "abnormal program termination" error that could occur under certain circumstances when joining a server.

Update 3

• Only relatively positioned sprites are auto-scaled now.

This update will take effect upon loading the browser or joining a 04rel002 server.

@Stormeus
I am facing problems with sprites in many servers. Like in this video, see the speedometer. Is this server side problem or from my side?

That's a client side issue to be addressed later today.

Why?

• Reverted a change that made players who were in the middle of shooting send more sync packets.

Why?

Because laggers are warping/sliding all over the map when they are shooting.
