Wow, this patch is awesome. Lots of fantastic changes, really enjoying the zed knockback alteration and the weapon switch speed makes things flow so much better. And thank the lord for those kill notifiers, everyone who has a perk at 25 was dying for those.

Lever Action seems to live up to its KF1 counterpart as an unperked sidearm, the Xbow's scope is pretty disorienting to swap into though. Still, very very solid update. Definitely the sort of thing I was waiting for to re-vitalize the game.

Silly question but... what on earth is the red triangle icon in the bottom left of the screen? I don't remember seeing it before today, and I can't work out what it's for. It's like some sort of small hazard sign, but it's always there.

New Update is awesome! And as I'm Russian, I've noticed some black humor in russian letters) Grammatically everything is built correctly, didnt expected it!
PvP is just something, 10/10.
What to the new Zeds Physics, it was much more improved, I even tought gore was improved, Zeds freaks out a little bit often, than before and a lot of gore chunks were added. Beautiful Update!

The flashlight has been nerfed a bit too hard IMO. You can barely even see it. It'd also be nicer if the zed kill confirmation text was moved above the XP bar. I'm so used to looking at my XP bar to confirm kills, but when you reach level 25 obviously it stops updating.

  • On HoE difficulty, the GC only throttles up from the baseline, never below

Yoshiro, everyone else at TW, I want to kiss you right now. Thank you.

Back home from work, time to have some fun with the LAR and bow :cool:

1st - thanks for 9mm sound and kill log
2nd - thanks for great new map and PvP
3rd - Please, allow us to scrap crates and USBs... i am getting too many of them (70-80% of all drops) and your promise "Even F2P players can collect skins for free" is not realistic enough.
4th - Any idea how to turn Czech localization on?

We can't expect TWI to release updates compatible with any mods that could possibly exist. It's up to modders to fix up any issues after updates.

Good job TWI!

So the mouse and zoom sensitivity settings STILL don't have any numbers. and since the update reset my input.ini, I've now got to figure out how I had my mouse and zoom setup and that's going to be a giant PITA.

I thought Yoshiro said that this was being taken care of in this update. :/

*edit

Why is mouse smoothing still enabled by default?

Off document changes:

- Tier 1 weapons like the HMTech-101 Pistol are now among the wild spawns.

- There is no longer a multiplied degree of view kick when opening fire during mid-air, except for shotguns.

- Flashlight is now accessed by tapping the key once instead of double-tap; and Night Vision is now accessed by holding down the key. However, it doesn't mean you can now have Flashlight & NV on at the same time.

- Recyclable projectiles, such as Crossbow bolt and Eviscerator saw-blade are now marked on your screen with visual indicator when you near them.

- Animation pace tweaks to weapon reloads, such as AR-15 Varmint Rifle w/ Tac Reload.

Last Weapon Used key now skips over tools, meaning it's actually useful without constant correction now.

Love the Tier 1 spawn update, glad Tripwire went back on saying it wouldn't happen due to memory constraints.

I love the new update, the LAR feels great. I think the crossbow sounds a little weak but its great fun to use. I'll be playing the PvP gamemode with a bunch of friends tonight and see how it is, thanks Trip

-flashlight is great now, but it should be unlimited imo

-some fps issues on evac, outside when im watching the main door with the escalators from the car (drops for no reason to 40fps from 80fps)

-Prison map yard is too powerful (again 90% of the map is forgotten *sigh*)

-xbow and LAR are op (the stun)

-the new blood effects look kinda cartoonish, but good for Vs to indicate that you hit him

-kill counter doesnt count how many you killed from each zed, like +2 gorefast +1clot +5stalker, instead it says +gorefast +clot etc.

-something that makes me think is, why a SCAR with Impact skill cant leg stumble a scrake but a Medic assault rifle without any perk skills can?

Does anybody know where I could find weapon stats for the Winchester and the Crossbow? Normally I turn to the KF2 Stats sheet on Google Docs for this kind of info but I don't expect it will be updated to reflect 1027 for a while yet!
