New central chat server

Hi folks!

The central chat server has been moved to a new location and has been upgraded to a new version.
A bug prevented many people from connectiong to eachother.
Finding each-other and playing a bit online should now be possible again… :)

Side-Note: if you are stuck upgrading, see this post.

A new release 8845

Hi!

Build 8845 of the Cellblock9 engine has been released.
New features:

  • Menu’s load faster because textures for menu are now lazy loaded.
  • New Controls layout. We added a seperate button for block + 3 buttons with shortcuts to the most popular specials.
  • Much better support for Game Controllers (like the Xbox360 or xbox One gamepad)

Fixed bugs:

  • 2 data race conditions that prevented the updater from working as it should.
  • Aura was accidently turned on if the player pressed an attack button when falling.

Known issue:
Previous versions may not update to this one as expected! See previous post on how to fix updater issues!

EDIT: right… another patch right away to stop Xbox360 controller from drifting.

8821

Hi!

Put another patch online, fixes some issues with the last update’s new feature: late joining.
Also allows for online- restarts of the matches by pressing F9.
