Update 4.4 — King's Court all day and a new social hub

4.4 is the biggest menu and social update since launch. King's Court is no longer just at 8 PM, the chat became a social hub and almost every screen was rebuilt.

King's Court open all day

• Every server always has a public court open, with bots filling the teams. Just tap the King's Court card, any time.
• The event is still at 8 PM (your region's time): competitive match XP and the King of the Court trophy.
• Quick Match can also take you to the court.
• Card penalty: the taker is locked on the spot and has 12 seconds to shoot, with an on-screen countdown. The shootout now gives 10 seconds.
• Slide tackle has a 5-second cooldown on the court, with an on-screen notice. No more slide spam.
• Less leaky goalkeeper, and he now comes out for crosses.
• Send-off + dice: whoever comes back from the bench with a full team takes a bot's place (before, they sat out until the end).
• Players who join early in the match wait on the bench and come in on their turn, like everyone else.
• More zoom out, no more slowdown in the corners and the current format (1 × 1, 2 × 2...) next to the scoreboard.

New social hub (PC and mobile)

• A panel on the right on PC and its own sheet on mobile, with friends, conversations and who's online.
• Messages are saved: nothing disappears when the server restarts.
• Conversations with unread counts, a "typing..." indicator and mentions by name.
• Friends with status: online, in a match or in queue.
• Add by name, accept, decline and cancel requests, and block whoever bothers you.
• Windows notifications for invites, mentions, private messages and club matches, with an on/off switch in Settings.

New menu

• Home screen with the modes as art cards and the daily XP mission in 3 steps.
• Your party shows up in 3D next to you, and invites arrive as a card in the corner with ACCEPT and DECLINE.
• Pick the menu scene: Stadium or Court. Your choice is saved.
• Ranked, Profile and Team screens rebuilt.
• New startup screen and a redesigned create private room.

Ranked

• Matchmaking and the accept screen redesigned, on PC and mobile.
• Ranked call: when your region's queue has 3 or more people, the game lets you know (in the menu and in training).
• MMR now counts ball recoveries: defenders who win the ball climb too.

Shop and ranking

• Deal of the day up front, with the discount, the old price crossed out and a countdown until it ends.
• Name and price on every item in the shop.
• Ranking with a podium for the top 3, medals and a card with your position.

In the match

• New scoreboard, TAB and stats, online and offline.
• Match chat and pause menu redesigned.
• First touch and headers with the right mouse button go where the cursor is at the moment of contact (they used to lag behind).
• Bots cross corners onto heads and head toward goal.
• Fixed the player who stayed lying on the ground after a slide tackle at the end of a match.

Tutorial

• SEE HOW: a coach shows each step before you try it.
• New panel with drawn keys, flashing targets and an arrow to targets off screen.
• Fixed SKIP STEP (F1), which froze the tutorial on PC.

Mobile

• Home screen with mode art and the King's Court card.
• One-tap shot easier to land.
• The startup screen shows Game Center / Google Play (no more "Connecting to Steam").
