• Settings: Added the Camera Angle setting to the pause menu.

Changes

• Arena: Removed the Christmas trees from the stage.
  
• Camera: Various improvements regarding the camera.
  
  
  • It is now allowed to fly along the foward axis to better follow the action.
    
  • Its flight speed has been increased.
    
  • The FOV computation has been reworked from the ground up.
  
  
• CAW: Adjusted the lower limit for the Feet Length morph so feet won't go inside themselves anymore.
  
• Content Screen: Navigating left from any list entry will now immediately jump to the Apply button.
  
• Pinfall: Tweaked the influence of Stats on pinfall outcome and reduced random adjustment.
  
  
  • Pinfalls are no longer be possible at full health.
  
  
• Stats: Lowered the maximum amount of Energy loss when receiving damage.

Fixes

• AI: Fixed some details about AI handling links (e.g., apron, barricades) and implemented a watchdog that will get an AI out of walking straight into one direction should traversal fail somehow.
  
• AI: Fixed AI freezing when deciding to drag the opponent to the ring center while outside the ring.
  
• Collision: Fixed sorrounding collisions causing wrestlers to be placed apart for Boston Crab, Camel Clutch and mounting.

Additions

• Apron: Added punches to the side. These are used when striking at targets that are also the same apron next to a wrestler.
  
• CAW: Added value displays next to sliders.

Changes

• AI: After a low randomized number of ground attacks, the AI will stop going for more for a few seconds. This should mitigate stomp loops.
  
• Apron: After receiving a certain amount of damage, similar to sitting or in a corner, wrestlers will now ragdoll from the apron.
  
• CAW: Rearranged the attributes so they are in the same order as they are shown in the wrestler selection.
  
• Counter: Changed how wrestler stats influence a wrestler's counter score: Energy and Momentum now the same influence, the influence of Health has been lowered somewhat.
  
• Counter: Decreased the maximum chance of a successful counter.
  
• Counter: Skill now influences the counter scores.
  
  
  • It is easier to counter moves of less skilled wrestlers and vice versa.
  
  
• Grapple: Performing a weak strike no longer grants grapple immunity at all.
  
• Input: Changed lock-up and grapple triggers to how they were before beta 0.11.0:
  
  
  • Entering a lock-up is now done by tapping A (E on keyboards).
    
  • Entering a grapple is now done by holding A (E on keyboards).
    
  • Quick grapple moves have been moved to holding B (R on keyboards), though this may not be permanent.
  
  
• Pace: Increased wrestler base acceleration by 33%.
  
• Pace: Sped up the front and back grapple entering animations by 25%.
  
• Pace: Sped up the stair stepping animations by 25%.
  
• Reactions: Reduced or removed strike and grapple immunity in several situations where it used to span the entire animation.
  
  
  • Climbing in or out of the ring.
    
  • Climbing up or down an apron.
    
  • Climbing the top turnbuckle.
    
  • Climbing onto the stage.
    
  • Jumping onto a barricade.
    
  • Picking up, placing or throwing a weapon.
  
  
• Reactions: Removed complete strike immunity for a half second following climbing an apron.
  
• Stats: A fraction of incoming damage determined by a wrestler's Health is now also applied to their Energy.

Fixes

• AI: Fixed AI prematurely aborting any attempt to drag their victim towards the center of the ring prior to going for a pinfall, and sometimes not even considering it.
  
• AI: Fixed AI not attacking wrestlers on a barricade or jump-ready on the stage.
  
• Corner: Fix corner occupation not cleared when prematurely exiting a climb animation (e.g., due to ragdolling), causing the corner to become unclimbable by others.
  
• Corner: Implemented a regular check to make sure that wrestlers who are believed to occupy a corner are actually there. This should fix corners becoming impossible to climb if anything goes wrong.
  
• Count-Out: Fixed eliminated wrestlers potentially still being counted out.
  
• Elimination: Fixed non-ragdolling wrestlers being eliminated prematurely in some situations.
  
• Flying Moves: When performing a flying move while holding a weapon, that weapon is now ignored for mid-air collision detection, which caused the wrestler to instantly ragdoll for some moves.
  
• Reactions: Fixed wrestlers being immune to strikes when sitting on a barricade or jump-ready on the stage.
  
• Rules: Fixed the match continuing after everyone has been eliminated and the last participant enters after.

Changes

• AI: When trying to enter the ring with a larger weapon, if the target is ragdolling or far enough away, AI will now place the weapon inside the ring and go for it once inside the ring.
  
• AI: Will no longer leave or enter the ring just to get a weapon that they cannot traverse the apron with.
  
• CAW: Removed the obsolete Up/Down morph that could make wrestlers float or sink in the ground.
  
  
  • Created wrestlers have to be loaded and saved again in order to ground them.
  
  
• Grapple: Increased the distance from which grappling is possible (from 85% to 93.5% of the combined reach).
  
• Grapple: Increased the field of view angle from which grappling is possible (from 105° to 120°).
  
• Pace: Increased the base turn speed of wrestlers (from 180°/s to 225°/s).
  
• Pace: Made state transition movement and rotation faster overall.
  
• Tutorial: Additional coaches are now "hard-spawned" for targeting lessons. This may cause a brief lag spike, but that's better than having to wait for a few seconds.
  
• Tutorial: When coaches are despawned, it is now ensure that the player has a target afterwards.

Fixes

• AI: Fixed AI ending up targeting themselves in some scenarios, causing them to stand idle and look at the ceiling.

Changes

• Steam: Disabled Steam Input by default. Unless absolutely needed for some reason, it is recommended to leave Steam Input disabled for now until issues caused by it have been addressed.
  

Fixes

• CAW: Fixed gamepads going lost when entering the Entrances menu.
  
• Menus: Fixed the Invite ... showing even if no Steam match is being hosted.
  
• Taunts: Fixed glitches caused by trying to use the D-Pad Right taunt (which was a leftover debugging function). It is the same as D-Pad Left for now.
