We released 10 days ago! Time for our 9th update! It's going really fast, and we're making very good progress so far, thanks to all of your bug reports and feedback. This update in particular should interest some of you campaign lovers as well as hardcore deathmatch lovers. We'll continue to improve these new features through your feedback!
- Added a version of the Xbox hud as a Hud theme!
- Added sharp turning to third person mode (this is somewhat limited in some corner cases and still a work in progress)
- Added the option "third person fixed crosshair" (console variable plr_bThirdPersonFixedCrosshair) which fixes the crosshair in place instead of jumping around on ledges (this causes some crosshair inaccuracies though, sharp turning must be enabled for this to work)
- Added higher quality Netricsa message images (contributed by Mental4)
- Fixed autodownloader downloading incredibly slow, it should be 50 times faster now
- Autodownloader now downloads to the "Downloaded" folder of the game, so it's easier to keep track of autodownloaded files
