Patch Notes PC – v235

Info on the upcoming v235 patch. It will bring a new dino, new weapon and, hopefully, the tribe alliances will be finally implemented.

Highlights

Some highlights of the upcoming patch notes.

Terror Bird

After circling around in the dev kit for a while, the Terror Bird will finally come to the island. You can check out some of the previews that already contain it or its dossier to get more information on it.

Grappling Hook

A new weapon will also be introduced. The grappling hook was already assessed in a preview, but now it will actually be implemented. We don’t know the exact use of the grappling hook yet (will it be like Just Cause or more like Zelda?),  but it sounds as something with big potential.

Tribe Alliances

Will we finally be surprised with tribe alliances this time? Who knows, only thing we know for sure is that it is still on the roadmap and will possibly be introduced with this patch.

Client anti cheat system

Although most of the actual game is verified on the servers, there are still ways to get client side hacks to work. These include for instance aim bots or ESP (seeing enemy / creature tags through walls, etc.).  Since these are client side hacks, there is no way for the server to see this. In order to counter it, Wildcard is introducing a client anti cheat system with this patch that should be taking care of it from then on.

v235.5

Server-side changes:

  • Fixed rare localization issue that caused a server hang

v235.4

Client-side changes:

  • BattlEye protected servers are now indicated with an icon on the server list
  • Made text labels ‘overrun’ rather than clip, better for displaying longer strings in translated languages.
  • Updated master localization archive to have more strings! (multi line texts etc)

v235.3

  • Unversioned Hotfix: Added community Spanish translation Translation by Neizan, IsCariote Youtuber and his team! Also updated the “Localization Manager” to have a “Update Archives from Manifest” button which allows you to update the latest localization strings from “English” into your selected language archives!.
  • BattlEye Anti-Cheat System!
  • BattlEye Notes: The new executable to properly play on Official Servers is ShooterGame\Binaries\ShooterGame_BE.exe, which we’ve updated the Steam Launch options to include (if you launch ShooterGame.exe directly, you will be redirected to ShooterGame_BE.exe if you connect to any Official Server running BattlEye). If you wish to run your Unofficial Server with BattlEye, you can do so with -BattlEye (however, only functions with Windows servers currently). Note that BattlEye is currently not ready for Mac or Linux, so we have temporarily disabled the capability of Mac/Linux clients to connect to BattlEye servers. We hope to have this resolved within the coming few days. Thank you for your patience!
