Addressed issue in which Gunslinger: Quick Draw skill was increasing switching speed to all perks weapons

This is much more global change, all bonuses of all perks that modify weapon switch speed are now restricted to these perk's on-perk weapons - Commando, Gunslinger, SWAT and Sharpshooter and do not work with off-perk weapons.

And this change completely broke Survivalist's switch speed bonus (35% less time) which now does not work at all, except very few of its native guns such as Arc Generator and Freezethrower (ones that have AssociatedPerkClasses(0)=class'KFPerk_Survivalist' in properties).

Have tossed this over for investigation. Thank you.

Also, after updating my servers (multiple independent servers), they started crashing the KF2 games of players upon joining the lobby. The servers themselves run fine. So far I've narrowed it down to something in either *engine.ini and *kfgame.ini files on the KF2 servers, which I haven't changed for a while. If I delete these to allow the game to recreate them from the default ones, it works just fine.

I bet this happens to more than one server owner, as I haven't really done anything fancy with the config files, outside of regular motd, serverbanner, server name and mapcycles modifications.

It's something in the *kfgame.ini file. *kfengine.ini is fine.

The clients crash with this bugsplat:

PS Okay, I've narrowed it down to the BannerLink parameter in the kfgame.ini KF2 server file. BannerLink points to a web server that hosts a MOTD picture. This picture gets downloaded by the KFHTTPImageDownloader class, which uses the native DownloadImageFromURL the code of which isn't shared with the SDK.

My guess is you changed something so it now crashes KF2 clients when they join a server which hosts a banner image that doesn't fit for whatever reason. I suspect it's the case, because there were issues recently with console players crashing with other players avatar pics. This function is also used to download them. Molly and Yoshiro, did you touch this function?

Can you develop a graceful handling of it instead so the clients don't crash if they can't download it?

Can you be more transparent about the new requirements for MOTD banners so we don't have to guess which work?

medic buff issues gone but endless still unplayable in community servers
game still losing fps overwaves It's straight up lag caused by a compilation of zeds.

the higher the wave the lower fps drop per zed count increase. when i joined to the game i had have about 230 fps after 10 wave my fps droped to 110 and after 29 wave fps down to 50 and even more worse to 30 fps ..

framerate will restore if you rejoin to the servers map etc that's really annoying

Yep, any custom BannerLink png image link => All clients BugSplat
But, after resize to force 512x256 no BugSplats more..

Nice, thanks for confirmation. I've confirmed this already with multiple server hosters, it's everyone's problem. I've spot checked some random servers yesterday and my impression is yesterday about 1/10 to 1/5 of all KF2 servers in the world were crashing their players because of this.

TWI, Molly and Yoshiro, this level of QA before releasing to production is just unacceptable. You've ruined a significant share of KF2 servers, leaving hundreds of players crashing without any clue about what's going on, except guessing that it may be related to the recent update.

It's another wake up call, this game is severely neglected. Please raise this internally, it doesn't make sense that one of your main cash cows is so severely neglected, you keep breaking the game with almost every update by now. The quality is extremely low, so no wonder that all your competitors in this genre, most notably L4D2 and DRG, grow in player base while your game stagnates at best!

PS It doesn't have to be 512x256, rather 512 is the ceiling for both horizontal and vertical. Set it to 513 either way and your players will crash reliably upon joining the lobby.
