Patch Changelog

Listed below are the fixes and additions contained in the 1.10 v4 beta patch. Please note that these are subject to change as the patch undergoes further testing and balancing.

• The sniper rifle now reloads automatically in all game modes. It no longer waits for the player to let go of the fire button.
• GameSpy and All-Seeing-Eye support have been fixed (player lists, players in game).
• Taunt voice distance has been reduced to no more then 20’ from player.
• Shell toggle added for strafe jumping (default on). This can also be turned on/off via the cvar command, “sv_strafeJumpingAllowed.”

README ISSUES

• FOV will not change on map restarts if set via the cvar command “userFOV.” The simple “FOV” command is used by the system, but should not be adjusted by the player.
• Weapon reload times can be eliminated via the cvar command “mp_skipWeaponReloads.” Setting this to “1” will eliminate all weapon reload delays.
• Floaty jumping can be disabled by setting the “sv_crouchJumpVelocity” cvar command to “0.”
