Enhanced SCCT Versus Patch Notes

Gameplay

  • Spies no longer faintly appear in EMF Vision, often called EMF ghosting, when not using any equipment.
  • Spies no longer have adrenaline when being damaged allowing them to move faster for a short period. This eliminates major lag when Spies get shot at off-host.
  • Improved Mercenary movement to prevent accidentally performing a Berserk if moving forward.
  • Spies and Mercenaries no longer have inconsistent damage values depending on which side of the body was hit.
  • Adjusted the Mercenary crosshair to align more closely with the center of the screen.

  • Presence Detectors will scan every 1 second instead of 3 second intervals. A sound is no longer played when the scan occurs.
  • Sticky Cam and Cam Net views now require less force to rotate, this improves lower Mouse Multipliers and allows for more precision in those camera modes.

Audio

  • The following sounds are no longer audible for more stealthy gameplay:
    • Using medical kits
    • Equipping the Shocker Gun without laser
    • Spies' goggles when switching vision modes

    • Activating Camo Suit

Miscellaneous

  • Players can now adjust their Mouse Multiplier in their profile configuration files, providing greater sensitivity control, sometimes resulting in less pixel skipping and negative acceleration.
    • Creating profiles in-game is no longer supported. To create a profile, run the CreateProfile.cmd script in the System folder. You can also modify an existing profile's Mouse Multiplier and Screen Resolution in the script.
    • Existing profiles from Enhanced versions prior to 3.0 or default Versus remain functional and use the default Mouse Multiplier of 6.0.
  • ESRB Notice on startup has been disabled to speed up boot time.
  • The longer lobby music from the Xbox version has been restored.
