We just released a second hotfix for Awesomenauts 4.5: Revenge of the Renegades., with some additional improvements for Qi'Tara and small fixes for several other characters.

Catch the patch notes below:

18-12-2017


Genji

• Storm drum, fixed that second stage was still priced at 160 solar.

Ix

• Fixed an issue where Psionic Bond could be shot twice before cooldown.
  
• Fixed Psionic Bond skill aiming visuals didn’t line up with the actual skill.

Max Focus

• Brutalities of the Kraken unveiled!, fixed that if this upgrade was bought in combination with Intergalactic Police's Dirty secret!, one of the two stronger bullets at the end of the skill would be delayed.

Professor Yoolip

• Fixed an issue where Gripping Gaze could be shot twice before cooldown.

Qi’Tara

• Qi’Tara now has a set of recommended items.
  
• Chakram shift, fixed that it was possible to desync the cooldowns of different aspects of the skill, breaking it in a variety of ways.
  
• Chakram shift, the cooldown which locks Qi’Tara out of shifting now only affects the shift backwards.
  
• Portuguese Warblade, extra stage added, direct backstab damage increased from 16% to 40% per stage, improved tooltip to better communicate its usage.

We just released Awesomenauts 4.5.1 with fixes for some Qi'Tara issues that have been reported since she released on Wednesday, as well as some fixes for problems related to the new bundles. Full patch notes are included below.

While this update fixes a significant number of issues that have been reported so far, we have additional improvements currently in development and will be releasing them in an additional update next week.

Please continue to report issues you encounter on our forums, so that we can investigate and address them as soon as possible.

That said, have a great weekend, and enjoy the latest update and Randomnauts Brawl!

General

• Added a profile portrait for the Dark Masquerade Qi’Tara skin, and made it available to players that own the skin.

Interface

• The skin bundle button in the armory now correctly links to the appropriate skin bundle Steam store page.
  
• Added a skin bundle button to Chucho Krok’s Armory page.
  
• Fixed that the button tooltip for bundle buttons listed the incorrect announcer in some languages.
  
• Fixed that the Starter Pack price did not show correctly in the Armory, and in the Starter Pack popup that displays when you unlock a Starter Pack naut.
  
• Removed unintended display of the Ksenia skin bundle button in the Announcer Armory.
  
• Fixed that some menu tiles had unintentional scrolling functionality.
  
• Fixed that some announcer names would not fit inside their button in the Armory Announcer browser.

Qi’Tara

• Chakram shift, fixed an issue where the icon for the skill disappeared and the skill became unusable until Qi’Tara died.
  
• Chakram shift, fixed that when an enemy Naut would die while carrying a chakram Qi’Tara would still see the arrow as she could shift to that position.
  
• Lily of the Isle, fixed that if you activated Lily’s effect by hitting an enemy Naut with a Chakram, and then activated Seven star strike, you’d get both a melee and ranged attack. This effectively allowed you to double your damage output.
  
• Lily of the Isle, fixed an issue where Qi'Tara wouldn't show an attack animation during Seven star strike once the Lily of the Ilse upgrade effect wore off.
  
• Seven Star Strike, fixed an issue where Qi’Tara would die instantly from chain effects like Swiggin’s Anchor Drop or Smiles Trapper’s Hook while Seven Star Strike was active and after buying the Salty Seal upgrade.
  
• Qi’Tara’s standard melee attack now prefers nauts and droids over turrets. Because Qi’Tara’s melee attack is single target this should help her clear enemies inside a turret while pushing.

Known issue: holding down the Charkram button when the skill comes off cooldown may cause elements of the ability to desync. Waiting for the cooldown to fully reset if this occurs will resolve this issue. This will be addressed in a future update.


Penny Fox

• Grey man group badge, fixed that the full bar sound would play on every hit once the bar was filled.

Ted McPain

• Weapon switch, fixed an issue where if skill aiming graphics were enabled, stimpack was active, the airstrike button was held, and Ted switches from machine gun to shotgun that the switching time was doubled.
