Netcode changes

  • The game no longer freezes on player join
  • Fixed an issue where the game would fail to advertise servers on the master server
  • Added support for HTTP downloads, a much more reliable means of downloading files than the current downloader
  • Join password functionality has been removed due to compatibility issues

Item changes

  • Throwables now travel slower when thrown backwards
  • Fixed an issue where explosion items (namely mines) would explode twice in a single frame
  • Fixed an issue where orbiting items would not protect you from your own placed traps
  • Fixed an issue where blockmap errors would prevent the SPB explosion from happening
  • Fixed spring panels sending you in the wrong direction when under growth or shrink

Replay Hut

  • Added support for free camera in replays
  • Rewinding is now much faster

OpenGL changes

  • GIF recording is now supported
  • Encore palettes are now functional in OpenGL
  • Models no longer repeatedly try to look for texture files that don't exist, resulting in a performance boost
  • Skin colors on models are now closer to how they appear on sprites. The new colors can potentially cause slowdown on lower end hardware, however
  • Models no longer use 3D signposts, and instead fall back on sprites for better compatibility
  • OpenGL now makes use of shaders, significantly improving the quality and accuracy of rendering
  • Render calls are now batched, leading to a significant performance boost

Misc changes

  • 64-bit Windows builds have been discontinued. They are still supported, but binaries will no longer be distributed

  • Added the ability to retry in record attack by pressing the pause button
  • The file limit has been raised from 48 to 127
  • Updated various maps
