Hello Everyone,
I apologize for the delayed update. I recently took a week off and used that time to identify and address issues that arose after migrating the project to UE5.3. During this process, I discovered a problem with the landscape shader that I haven't resolved yet. The issue occurs when you set Global Illumination Quality to medium or low; the Zone0 landscape shader becomes invisible (though the mesh is still present, the shader isn't visible). i will provide a fix in the next patch.

For a workaround, you can follow these settings:

• Global Illumination Quality: High
  
• Anti-Aliasing Method: TSR
  
• Feel free to adjust the Resolution Scale as needed (With TSR, you can reduce the resolution scale to approximately 60~70 without significant loss in visual quality).

And for the new playable zone, mutants, and new buildings, these will be implemented in #4 Patch. Subsequently, #5 Patch will primarily focus on bug fixes and performance.

Bug Fixes

• Molotov now properly deals damage to the new bandit and infected characters.
  
• Can't pickup some props. (pile of rags, hose etc)
  
• Lockers turn to the letter 'O' when carried
  
• Fixed: Bandits were not receiving damage from the flamethrower.
  
• Fixed: Seeker Nest were not receiving damage from the flamethrower.

Feature, Implementation

• Project migration to Unreal Engine version 5.3
  
• Added: Eating animation for the chocolate bar
  
• Added: New Item Energy Drink ()
  
  
• Added: A new Buff System. You can now view active buffs through the icon located in the bottom left corner. The first addition to this system is the 'Endurance Infusion' buff, which is obtained by consuming an Energy drink.
  
  
• Vehicle Tuning Rework: To customize your vehicle, visit the survival camp near Kimiko Camp. In the garage, you will find two Placeholder NPCs: the Part Vendor and the Vehicle Upgrade Mechanic.
  
  Before upgrading or tuning your car, you must first unlock vehicle parts from the Part Vendor. Additionally, you can enhance your trailer by towing it to your car before parking in the designated yellow marker area.
  
  Other tuning parts will be implemented in the future, which will include a turret system refactor.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Fixed:

• Overlapping wave does now also count to adding beast wave
  
• Removed debug logs on game history
  
• Improved aircraft system / flight system

Added:

• NEW: Chat in-game implemented with hotkey "T" or HUD-Button
  
• NEW: Headquarter now displays available online rooms (if not pin secured)
  
• Ping system is now improved and can detect disconnects from others
  
• Implemented the first steps into reconnecting/rejoin (smaller disconnects)

Changed:

• Nothing.

I have adjusted the mouse settings to use raw mouse input, this has resulted in having to re-scale the sensitivity settings so you may need to adjust your player and vehicle sensitivity settings.

I'm hoping this fixes issues people have been having with the mouse input, if not let me know which issues you are having and whether it is with the vehicle camera, first person camera, or both.

I have also added an FPS limiter, if you have high-end hardware and your GPU has been running hot, try setting the FPS limit and see if that lets your GPU run cooler.

• Added "The Thrill of Battle" theme, found in Daeva boss fight.
  
• Changed "effect on crit" stat to only apply on Slash.
  
• Fixed acid not doing any damage.
  
• Daeva now de-spawns when leaving the map.
  
• Fixed stand fps issues.
  
• Fixed "Show FPS" setting not working properly.
  
• Fixed various bugs and crashes.

Farlight 84 is getting updated to version 14.4.2.8. This update introduces a new Battle Pass, some new thematic sets, a new Tactical Skill for Yong, balance changes, and more feature updates. Let's take a look at all the details.

Watch our What's NEXT video, explaining everything that's coming to this update:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2snVWuMxZTk





Yong's Tactical Skill will be transformed into “Blinding Mark". Blinding Mark fires forward a penetrating electromagnetic pulse. Anyone caught in its path will reveal themselves, get marked, and slow down for a short period of time. When a teammate shoots a marked enemy, that enemy will have their vision limited for 3 seconds, and the mark will be removed. Now, even without his Ultimate, Yong's Tactical Skill remains influential in the game.



While Yong has been a valuable asset to the team, we felt his impact could be more proactive. In this update, Yong's Tactical Skill will transform into "Blinding Mark," releasing a penetrating electromagnetic pulse that marks and slows down enemies. Teammates can capitalize on this by limiting their vision. Yong is set to be a game-changer!



Amidst the bleakness of a decaying world, a group of fervent and unworldly young individuals carve their own distinct path: they remain unfazed by the uncertainties of the days to come. At the crossroads of the apocalypse, the era that embraces the nonconformists has finally arrived.

BUFFS

🔻 This update will be boosting our Defense heroes, changing their HP increase at Level 7 from 20 to a whopping 40. Expect tougher defenses on the battlefield.


🔻 MK.R's rocket count goes up to 12, with increased damage.


🔻 Other changes

• Beau's Tactical Skill damage is amped up.
  
• Sunil's speed bonus increased with his Ultimate.
  
• Ducksyde will move faster with his Tactical Skill. Speedy tactics, anyone? 🏃♂️

NERFS

• Maggie's Tactical Skill cooldown increases by 5 seconds.
  
• Phantom's Tactical Skill scanning duration is reduced.

We're also bringing some changes based on your feedback. Let's take a look!

🔻 In the battle royale game mode, the ring will no longer close in on areas with super tall structures. This adjustment was made to avoid players from exploiting the mechanism by staying high on top.


🔻 There's also been feedback that a shorter season has made it too hard to complete the missions. So in this update, you'll find the missions easier. This means that you'll complete the battle pass faster now.


🔻 In custom rooms, a total of 8 observers are now made available. Having more observers in the same room means that more friends and creators can now join and watch your event. Don't forget, there's a few minutes of added delay, which is part of our commitment to fair play.


🔻 Other changes:

• In Chat channels, you'll now get a notification automatically when your match is about to start.
  
• You can now create a Clan Tag of up to 6 characters. This will make it easier to create your own cool and recognizable tag.
  
• Your team's points will now change based on the events you participate in. And if your team's got a no-show in an event, your points will be deducted by a lot.

In the next update, get ready to enjoy delightful Japanese voiceovers for your favorite characters and system announcements.
