14 DAY TRIAL // Looks like Epic have something more in store for Gears of War fans, besides the two new free maps announced yesterday. Now, they are planning to release an update for their shooter and, by the looks of it, this update will fix some serious issues in the game (both singleplayer and multiplayer).
According to Kotaku - who got their information from Epic's Mark Rein - the new update will be released sometime today. If you are curious to know what exactly will the update do check out the list below:
- Aspect ratio distortion when using VGA cable with 4:3 displays at resolutions higher than 640x480 fixed - Voice issue when new players joining Player Match games in progress fixed - Players can now get the Achievement for "Dish Best Served Cold" when using Trika turret to kill RAAM - Rare situation when host could loop countdown and never start match fixed - Another rare situation where players could get stuck after chainsawing in multiplayer fixed - Reduced Grenade Tag melee distance - Enabled "Strict" NAT check on host to prevent possible connection issue - Optimized server browser queries to return results more quickly and prevent scroll bars from hiding quality of service icos - Reduced number of possible revives in Execution to match Warzone - Removed host name from Ranked match server browser - Disabled security cameras in Ranked matches - Ranked matches now require balanced teams (3v3 or 4v4) - Increased penalty for quitting a Ranked match to -50 points - Added additional cheat detection code - Additional housekeeping updates
You could say that the most important fix that this new update brings is the reduced Tag melee distance, because the big grenade tag was quite annoying for a lot of players. Glad to see some VGA important fixes too...
