Redmatch 2

New Game Mode: King of the Hill



Update 1.24



Changes

  • Added a new King of the Hill gamemode! Players gain points by standing in the zone. The zone changes positions every 60 seconds, and the player with the most points at the end wins. To play it, as the host of the match open Room Settings and set the Gamemode to King of the Hill.
  • The kill feed has been limited to 10 entries to decrease clutter
  • Added time trial replay spectating to spectator mode (/spectatetimetrial)
  • You can no longer ban moderators from matches


Bugfixes

  • Player hats will no longer show when spectating first person
  • Fixed quality settings resetting when joining a match or loading the menu
  • Other players can no longer send red (system) messages


Minor Releases

1.24.1 (August 13)


  • Fixed a bug where the match list would only show "Deathmatch" as the game mode for every match

Lots of bugfixes! - Update 1.23

Changes

  • Added a melee damage multiplier
  • Added wind audio which plays when you move fast
  • Added weapon sway to mouse movement. It turns off when aiming.
  • Switched from a linear audio scale to logarithmic, so you won't hear far away sounds as loudly.
  • Replaced the United States flag with the British flag for the English language icon
  • Changed the UI for download progress on resource packs to be more clear


Bugfixes

  • Fixed a bug where the game would freeze if no one voted for a map
  • Fixed resource packs duplicating if you selected the default one
  • Players can no longer kill you from different matches
  • Fixed a bug where pressing the equals key would open a "Network Stream" window
  • Resource packs will no longer load if you try to join a private match and type the "s" key as the password and then press enter
  • Fixed the italian translation for "Create"
  • Made gondolas slightly less janky by increasing the sync time from 0.5s to 4s
  • You will no longer respawn if you enter spectator mode while respawning
  • Fixed a bug where if destroyable walls were destroyed on a map, loading the map would play a horrible sound
  • Network optimizations
  • Fixed SteamWarningAPI and MemoryManagement errors
  • Invisible players should (potentially) be fixed, as failed connections now automatically attempt to re-establish themselves instead of just permanently disconnecting

PSA: Remember that hosts can ban players!

Recently there have been a few hackers in the game. I'm only one person, and I can't manage banning every hacker. Here's how you can prevent hackers from playing in your matches:



To ban a player as the host, press TAB to open the scoreboard. Then press down the scroll wheel on your mouse to unlock the cursor. Click on the player you want to ban, and choose "Ban." This will ban them from the match and prevent them from rejoining. If there's a hacker in your match, please ask the host to ban them.

Update 1.21

Changes

  • Hosts can now ban players. Open the scoreboard, press middle mouse button to free the cursor, click on the player you want to ban, and click "Ban." This will prevent the player from participating in that match. You can also report hackers and view player profiles from this screen. Please report hackers in-game and on the discord server for them to be banned from the entire game.
  • Added profile pictures to the scoreboard
  • Added a new setting which lets you disable profile pictures
  • Made grapple aim-assist more forgiving

  • Added 4 new hats, 3 of which can be purchased on the Item Store. The Santa Hat is free to keep forever if you play the game before January 1st!
  • Added flying gondolas to Ruins, Arena, and Skyway
  • Added leaderboards (update: leaderboards were disabled due to hackers. they may return in the future)
  • Added new keybinds: Next Weapon and Previous Weapon
  • Added control prompts when interacting with things such as the upgrade machine, so you know what keys you need to press
  • Reworked the in-match UI to be cleaner and smaller
  • You can now see which match your friends are in on the find match menu by looking for the green icon on matches
  • Steam friends will now have green names in-game


Bugfixes

  • Fixed a bug where audio would play loudly when leaving a match
  • Completely removed controller support due to a variety of issues. If you want to play the game on a controller, please remap your controller to the keyboard through Steam Input.
