Anti Cheat

Alongside improvements to our server-side anti cheat, we have added a client-side anti-cheat (EAC) to further strengthen the game against cheating.

NEW

  • Added the ability to rebind controls on controller
  • Matchmaking leave bans. Leaving matches repeatedly results in matchmaking bans.
  • If your account is banned, it will now tell you when it expires when logging in
  • Created a new "Camera" settings tab, moved some settings there and added "Reduce Motion" which stops camera shake and dynamic FOV

Gameplay

  • Buffed the stepover distance from 285 to 400 to provide a small speed boost
  • Kicking at the same time no longer combines forces, it will never go faster than the hardest kick

Improvements

  • Moved the locker room lights to improve visibility of your character
  • Trying to queue while a player in your party is in a match is prevented and tells you who is in a match
  • Custom games no longer lock your team, but highlight the team you selected in the lobby instead
  • Tweaked the matchmaker to prefer new matches over backfill and better search when your rating is high
  • Reduced screen shake while rushing
  • Improved (temporary) connection loss handling
  • Added a connection warning when you have high packet loss or > 150 ping

Cosmetics

  • Added skate helmet
  • Added retro long sleeve jersey
  • Added Sports Snood

Performance

  • On Low graphics, grass is removed completely, boosting FPS a lot for PCs with low specs

Fixes

  • Fixed lag spikes occasionally blocking your ability to sprint for the remainder of the match
  • Fixed an issue that would prevent you from selecting a team in custom games sometimes
  • Fixed several crashes on the client and server

v0.84.1

We launched a bugfix patch soon after this one fixing the following:

  • Sprint could get stuck, draining stamina continuously
  • False positives caused the anti cheat to kick innocent players (no account actions)
  • Kick/dribble charges were unintentionally weaker
  • Fixed warmup accidentally contributing to match stats

Ranked: A lot of these fixes and improvements pave the way for ranked. It is the most requested feature and we want to introduce it in a meaningful way by providing a good and stable foundation first. Keep in mind the game has only been out for just over 2 weeks and we are 1 programmer and 2 artists. We are working as fast as we can, which you can see by the multiple updates in this time. More coming soon. Thank you.
