Update 1.14.1 Released

An update to No More Room in Hell has been released. The update will be applied automatically when you restart No More Room in Hell. The major changes include:

March 19th Hotfix: We've released a dedicated server update that fixes an issue with runner behavior.
This update is optional, but all community admins are encouraged to apply it.

Additions

• Added ability to erase keypad input by pressing backspace
• Added bullet impulse to ragdolls, this results in more visible knockbacks based on ammo type
• Added corner blocking detection for zombies, they can now properly attack blocking players instead of finding a new path

Changes

• Enabled "whole program optimization" on client, this may slightly improve overall performance
• Improved server performance on crowded maps
• Optimized Add-on Manager and Workshop support, improving performance
• Optimized CPU usage across the board, improving performance on lower spec machines
• Optimized RAM usage on maps that utilize FMOD ambient sounds
• Zombies no longer spend 20 seconds standing still when all of their enemies die, instead, they play an idle animation and move on
• Zombies now try to find cover again when an enemy is unreachable, they no longer skip to wander
• Updated the localization files:
  • With thanks to community translators: Atheist, Blueberryy, DouglasVarollo, Holy Crap, Klowby, MakinDay, marcielcps, MsLGXC, Plazehorta, RicecakeHuman, SkyAfterRain
