    Patch still resets windowed game to fullscreen after the patch is complete.

    Also any news on a Linux dedicated server?

    Edit: Okay, wow. You guys reset the whole config. Gotta rebind my keys. :(

    This includes default resolution. No we don't have any updates for Linux servers.

    Times 40!

    I don't mind if theres a valid reason, but I'd like to know the reasoning. Is it an indirect to try and force gunners to take out turrets more, therefore increasing class niche's?

    Noted. Still really disorienting. Loving the new server browser, though.

    Probably should have backed up my HostileInput and HostileEngine files playing.

    Stat reset worked. *sad panda*

    When I changed the resolution 1920x1080 was a no show at first. (It was probably cut off due to the smaller default resolution). I set it to 1680x1050 and turned VSync off, accepted, went back and then it showed up.

    Leaderboard didn't reset, intentional?

    Sadfacing at the reset.

    Definitely countered by the download size though.

    The new server browser looks neat and updates perfectly!

    And after work I'll have to take a look at those changes to the Gunner grapple... =P

    It's a very small decrease, and only vs turrets. Hardly noticeable.

    Can't wait to test how larger Pros grapple now. I hated grinding up on people and missing grapples. :)
    Thanks again for the quick updates.

    Hardly noticeable my foot! XP

    Taking down turrets is what I do 50% of the time.

    Can't join server as the server is running DLC I don't have on every server I've tried.

    Another server refresh only shows 2 servers.

    Then if I try and hit back I just get a blue screen with the MNC logo on it and I have to force quit with task manager.

    Most of the balance changes in this patch were aimed at making bases more defensible.
    Tanks and Assassins when juiced could take down 3-4 turrets per juice, no matter what the turrets were.

    With the reduction of damage to turrets from these two main weapons and the improvements to the Shave Ice turrets, bases can be made to more defensible to a single Pro rampaging a base. The goal is to require more team work to break open a base instead of a single Tank or Assassin.

    That said, the reduction in the Jet Gun is very small. Sword/Dagger a little more.

    The servers will be updated soon. I only see a handful of them update so far. About the second refresh, there's a known issue where your Map filter switches to Spunky Cola. Make sure its changed back to All.
