LOBBY BROWSER

LOBBY UI/HUD REWORK

END OF MATCH CUTSCENES

• We have added cinemetics to deliver a more engaging end to matches.
  
• If at least one Prisoner escapes onboard either the Helicopter or the Submersible a cutscene will play of that vehicle departing the Sea Fort and will be seen by all players including the Monster player
  
• If none of the Prisoners manage to escape either because time run out during any mission stage or the Monster killed everyone instead a cutscene will play of the Monster player standing trumphiantly over the Sea Fort
  

AUDIO

• Brute roar modified
  

NEW MAP CONTENT

NEW STAGE 1 DEPOT BUILDING

• There’s plenty of places to hide and a lot of dangerous walkways suspended above long drops.
  
• As with the other Stage 1 Buildings the Depot contains 7 Power Switches that Prisoners will need to find in order to proceed to the matches second stage.
  

NEW COMPACT EXTERIOR LAYOUT

• Unlike the previous layouts this new one has all the buildings positioned tightly together
  
• The connection walkways themselves are far more ramshackle and damaged than usual creating a treacherous playspace
  
• While the previous layouts have all features the 3 exterior Stage 1 Power Switches positioned on balconies on a ring around the Stage 1 building this layout takes a different approach with the three balconies now positioned further away.
  

DLSS SUPPORT

BUGS FIXED

• Spectating a player should now follow death camera’s and locker cutscenes better
  
• Players can no longer spectate taped up cameras
  
• Addressed a few places where players got stuck
  
• Hopefully addressed a glowing blue floor when playing as Malacosm in Infirmary
  
• Overhead name for players disappears when a player escapes
  
• The Bhagra should no longer be silent when moving backwards or diagonally
  
• The Brute’s breathing should now only be heard when the Brute is selected in the lobby menu
  

KNOWN ISSUES

• Brute’s movement may become ‘weird’ at rare times but jumping through a window should fix the problem
  
• Sometimes during matchmaking you may be kicked back to the connection scene
  
• The Cooldown Custom Game Setting will not change to other languages other than English
  
• The heart lives UI on the top left of the HUD can sometimes be wrong and have all your hearts blacked out. To see your correct lives press 'Tab'
