Title: Exterminatus Alpha Patch 7.98 and Change Log
Post by: ChromeAngel on May 17, 2014, 09:51:41 AM
This week i've been tuning the balannce of the leaping player classes, specalist wepaons and trying to track down a pesky "lag" bug that crept in a couple of builds ago.  I've also been trying to debug a couple of server crashes.  It turns out they are caused by dying servo skulls.  I don't know how or why they make it crash, so I don't have fix just yet.  If you can just avoid shooting them that will keep the servers running ;)

Tactical Marine bolter is doing no damage, making him useless and double so when up against a Fex.

A couple of really weird bugs related to the boltgun did creep into this version.  The following server patch (7.98d) addresses these issues:

40ksource.com zip (http://www.40ksource.com/files/ex_alpha_patch_7.98d.zip)

Only server operators or players hosting listen servers need to install this patch.

7.98d fixes boltguns doing no damage and scoring no points as well as nerfing the lictor leap range back to midway between 7.97 and 7.98.
