Fixed grey boxes in Boss Arena

Dear Ghoul Hunters,

I just wanted to say thank you for all the support and patience! I'm about to take my kids out for trick-or-treating, but I thought I might drop an image of what I'm working on - the mugshot of the Slaughterhouse DLC (actual name TBD) map! It took me more than a month to model the buildings and other objects, and still much more work to fill the scene with plants and other furnishing. But it's coming along nicely :)

Basically this DLC is a fun little horde survival mode, where you will fight against waves of minions sent forth by Valentin the Mean Evil Villain Boss, while keeping them from reaching the Shrine of Mighty Strength that will replenish Valentin's power. And once you defeat the minions, you will face the All-New Facelifted Valentin whom you defeated back in Doownevar! Of course, this is my current idea and I will gradually improve upon it :)

Once I set up the scene I will create the official DLC page and announce the tentative release date :)

Happy Halloween again, and good hunting!

• Fixed a crash were leaves would get ignited and extinguished repeatedly
  
• Updates and movement across save/load should be more consistent
  
• Added a console message whenever a tutorial world or research objective is complete

A new update is available for our RealFlight Evolution DirectX 11 public beta. If you don’t already know about the DX11 beta, please read this previous announcement before continuing. We encourage all RF Evo users to join in! It’s not too late.

The new version, 10.00.071, includes a handful of additional fixes we'd like to get into users' hands for more widespread testing (more details below).

As always, we appreciate the feedback from everybody who has helped test the DirectX 11 update and reported their findings so far! Please continue doing so with the new version. We will post updates in the relevant beta forum threads for issues that we addressed in this latest update.

Improvements/Fixes

• [84278] The lens flare effect is drawn behind the various user interface elements and does not affect them when present [This was incorrectly noted as fixed; however, a new build arrives shortly that will include it.]
  
• [84229] Aircraft preview images have the correct gamma appearance in the new RF Evo menus and in Windows (this was not discussed on the forums previously, but I'm including the case # anyway for our own reference)
  
• [84338] Fixed an issue causing parts of a mesh to render incorrectly for a single visual frame; this was most easily observed as artifacts appearing in some aircraft preview images
  
• [84370] Vehicle import fails with an appropriate console error message instead of crashing if certain internal path or file names get too long

Aircraft

• Numerous aircraft received art updates. In many cases the nature of the changes results in subtle differences, though in some instances the improvement is more substantial.

How to Get It
See the “How to Get the DX11 Beta Build” instructions in this previous announcement. If you are already participating in the DX11 beta program, you only need to perform step #1.

Rowenna grew up amidst a war, but in a move that turned the tide, one Monarch Titan sacrificed itself to end the fighting. In the years after, her home planet of Nexus established ties across the Outlands, introducing Rowenna to the Apex Games. The Games represented everything she aspired to–heroism, hard work, sacrifice—and she became a dedicated fan.

When her elder sister Diwa suffered a terrible injury at work, Rowenna resolved to support her family no matter what. She stole the battery from the Monarch, still rusting on the hill, and had a combat rig built with its battery at the core. She used it to qualify for the Apex Games, and even though the battery exposes her to poisonous radiation, she refuses to give up. No one else was going to get hurt to support her family. Rowenna’s choosing to have hope for her dreams or die trying. Now, it’s Conduit’s chance for a day in the sun.

Check out more on our newest and brightest Legend, Conduit, in our highlights blog and read on for details on her abilities. https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legends/news/ignite-season-game-updates

NEW IN-MATCH NOTIFICATIONS
A new feature that launched during Resurrection is live: in-game notifications for banned players. This notification will appear in the kill feed when a player in your current match has been removed. This alert will only be triggered by our anti-cheat systems and will not display when someone quits a match, loses connection or is kicked for AFK. This is the first of many steps the team is taking to improve visibility and player feedback when users are actioned.


NEW FEATURE: PROMOTIONAL TRIALS
In Season 19, players will enter a Promotional Trial state when they reach the peak of their tier. During a Trial, LP loss and gains are frozen, allowing the player to focus on completing the trial:

• Completing the conditions of a Trial within the given match count limit (either by winning a game or completing the alternative) will allow promotion into the next tier with a 250 LP promotional bonus
  
• Failing to complete the Trial within the match limit results in the Trial ending and a loss of LP based on the player’s performance
  
• Trials are time limited to 5 matches, increasing by 1 game each time a player fails and then reenters the same Trial, up to a max of 10 retries
  
• Promotional Trials are skipped during Provisional matches

RANKED TUNING
If you missed our recent reddit Dev Team Update, we’ve made some tuning adjustments for Ignite’s Ranked:

Increasing the amount of Rating Bonus given to help players’ ranking catch up to their skill bracket
Reduce the bonus that is withheld and thus the difficulty of climbing, when players are actively pushing against their skill ceiling
Provisional Bonuses are adjusted to land players closer to the expected statistical 1.5 tier drop at the end of their 10 provisional games
Ranking difference restrictions for 3 stack premades has been REMOVED. Players will now be able to play with friends no matter where they are on their climbs—with the caveat that your squad will face more difficult battles if there’s a bigger discrepancy between your skill
