Connection Issues Fixed!
Redmatch 2 uses Steam for networking. After the Steam maintenance on March 26, it appears something was changed on Steam's side which caused players to encounter issues when joining matches bigger than about 8 players.

I've switched the entire networking backend out with a separate one and the issues seem to be resolved. Thank you all for your patience this past week! As always, you can report any issues you encounter on the Discord server at https://rugbug.net/discord and I'll do my best to resolve them.

Full Update 1.35 Notes



Changes

  • Added a new room setting (Infinite Ammo) that is enabled by default.
  • Spectating now has a 5 second cooldown.
  • Players will now have a skull icon on the scoreboard when they are dead or respawning.
  • The death camera will no longer switch to an overhead view if your killer dies.
  • You will now only get a kill for someone killing themself if they die in the next 5 seconds after you damage them, as opposed to indefinitely
  • Entering spectator mode when someone has damaged you recently now counts as a death, but will not kill you unless someone has damaged you in the last 5 seconds.
  • Reduced the orange tint color grading.
  • Muted players can no longer name rooms.
  • Right clicking a map no longer votes for it. Instead, it will give you a dropdown menu when browsing custom maps.
  • Reduced the max match name length from 500 to 30 characters.
  • The language button is now a flag.
  • Once a bullet does 0 damage it won't penetrate more walls anymore.

Bugfixes

  • You will now stop grappling when you go through a teleport.
  • Removed a feature that enabled mid-air momentum cancelling when grapple gear was disabled to maintain a consistent movement system.

  • Fixed UI clipping issues when selecting a map.

Quadrants Map Rework & Customizable Map Pools

Quadrants Map Rework




Hey, TastyBiscuitDev here.

I'm the map designer behind Metro, Outskirts, Orbit, Xeo and of course, Quadrants.

From some observations and the feedback we got from the survey we sent out a little while ago, its evident that Quadrants is definitely one of the least favored maps in the pool. Most commonly discussed was it's size and structure. My intentions - design wise - was that matches took place mostly in-doors because that's where the map shines most - but its clear that 90% of a match is taken place out-doors, in far open spaces.

So with this update, I've closed off all exits and entrances and enforced that the map is strictly interior with no legitimate way to go outside. Portals will seamlessly connect the buildings together - so that players are fighting in areas where the map shines best.



The original Quadrants will still be available to play as a custom map once custom maps are released, in case sniping was your favorite part.

Customizable Map Pools





The host of a match can now disable maps they don't want players to be able to vote on. This will make tournament setups easier and let hosts get rid of maps they don't like, or that won't fit their match settings. This is partially in preparation for custom maps in the future.

Additional Changes

  • Added a muted icon for muted players
  • More UI gradient purging
  • Replaced the sheriff star host icon with a more generic person icon
  • Replaced the verified player checkmark with a more common verified icon
  • Fixed a glitch that I guess has existed since its Steam release where the vertical camera rotation of players was not synced correctly, and would only update when their horizontal camera rotation changed. This should make spectating players in first person a lot more reliable. I seriously can't believe how long it took me to realize this was an issue.
  • Fixed an issue where leaderboard scores weren't being uploaded
