Open Beta v7.0.0

Hey!

A new update is now available on the public beta branch! The release date of the version is unknown and depends on the amount of issues found in pre-release testing. We will try to do our best to fit in the next 24 hours.

• Engine update - we’re now on version 2018.1.5 and as such, the game should contain fewer engine-related bugs and other issues.
  
  
• On-screen hit indicators - Your screen will be covered in blood depending on your health and the direction from which you're being shot.
  
  
  
  
• Workstations - Weapon Manager Tablet no longer has the ability to adjust your weapon attachments. Instead of that, there are many workstations in the Facility. However, you still need a WM-Tablet in order to make them operational.
  
  
  
  
• More weapon attachments - suppressor for MP7 and ammo counters are now available. Ammo counters are attachable displays that show how much ammo you have.
  
  
• Ability to drop ammo using the Weapon Manager Tablet - you can specify the type of ammo and the quantity.
  
  
• New room in Light Containment Zone - added a Garden Chamber. It's a greenhouse-hallway with some plants around.
  
  
  
  
• Achievements!
  
  
  
  
• Voicechat stability improvements! Some issues with the microphone can still occur, but voice chat is not crashing in the middle of the round.
  
  
• SCP-939 added - currently there are two variations of the model. I don't want to say too much about them. I want you to find out yourself how they work. I can advise you to be quiet when you see them.
  
  
  
  
• SCP-106 visual rework! - the previous model was... not good enough. What do you think about the new one?
  
  
  
  
• Grenades rework - added a fragmentation grenade, which replaces the Positron grenade. We're also working on a flash grenade.
  
  
  
  
• Tesla Gates are back - we know you love them as much as we do!

Open Beta v6.0.1

Hey!

A new update is coming out today at 2:45 PST / 21:45 GMT+0 (in 20 minutes)
The update is incompatible with 6.0.0, so server owners should update their servers asap.

• Updated the Unity Engine to version 2018.1, so there are fewer engine-dependent bugs.
  
• Temporarily removed blood - in this update (for unknown reason) our Decal System solution was causing a lot of frame drops and rendering time was increased twice.
  
• CanvasRaycast fixes - I don't need to explain this - you won't understand because of my English anyway :)

Generally in my case it doubled my frames per second, you can share your results in the comments after the release ;)

Remember that if you have any technical problem or just want to report a bug - join our Discord server.

Open Beta v6.0.0

Hey folks!

We know the official date of the release! The update is coming out today in 1.5h! (10:00 PST / 17:00 GMT+0).
The update is already available on the public beta branch, so you can test it before the release! :)

This change log contains previously announced features, so most likely you already know most of these.

• Light Containment Zone hallways overhaul - each room and hallway now has its own ID tag that helps with navigating. Take a look on these screenshots:
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Post-processing effects changes - game should look nicer now.
  
  
• Weapon System major overhaul - all fusion/plasma/laser/sci-fi weapons have been replaced with modern, realistic ones. We also added a tabled called "Weapon Manager" that allows you to customize your stuff. Check out this video:
  
  

• Facility Guard - a new player class. Facility Guards spawn in the Entrance Zone and replace the first wave of Nine-Tailed Fox. They are weak armed forces. In theory they should reduce the problem where SCPs and MTFs are getting into the LCZ killing D-bois too fast. Guards should meet SCPs in the middle of the way and give people in LCZ additional time.
  
  
  
  
• Fast Menu Mode - nothing to explain! Loads faster, works faster, round-restarts faster - it is just faster!
  
  

----------------

• Remote Admin security improvements - now you can assign SteamIDs instead of passwords.
  
• Changed the config style, now it is corresponding with YAML standard.
  
• Reduced T-posing
  
• Anit-Cheat improvements: flying, teleporting and no-clipping is now impossible in most cases.
  
• SCP-173 fixes.
