NEW UPDATE 1.0.8 IS LIVE! — Die by the Blade News

Hey fighters!

A new patch has just been released, and here are the notes:

Fixed:

- Loading Screen is properly shown in the waiting room if loading started while the pause menu was active
- Character skin is no longer reset to the first one in character skin selection when returning back from body part customization
- Naginata High Sequence A sometimes does not hit the enemy
- Possibility to open pause UI (and leave to the main menu) when loading starts in the waiting room
- Overflowing characters in the invite code
- Katana Low Sequence B: missing S2 hit when the opponent is turned towards the camera

Changed:

- Sequence names in the pause menu are now simply Sequence 1, Sequence 2,... etc.

Added:

- New option in Audio Settings to enable/disable all sounds if the game application isn't focused
- More combo sequences - sequence widgets (pause menu as well as tutorial) were updated accordingly to reflect this change
- Taunts now use specific montage sections instead of simple fade out
- Enhanced rating stats (onset rating, last assigned rating, time elapsed since last ranked match)

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. Onset Rating: This is your live rating value, which declines as time passes. It is used to calculate your rating after any ranked duel.
2. Last Assigned Rating: This rating value was calculated at the end of a ranked duel using your Onset Rating. Its value remains unaffected by time once it is sent to the leaderboard.

Keep up the great job fighters! See you on Discord!
