Titanfall 2: Respawn nennt alle Änderungen des Live Fire-Updates - Patchnotes

Der First-Person-Shooter „Titanfall 2“ wird bald ein neues umfangreiches Update erhalten, welches zahlreiche Neuerungen und Änderungen beinhalten wird. Einen konkreten Termin konnte man zwar noch nicht nennen, da im QA-Prozess einige weitere Bugs aufgetaucht waren, jedoch hat Respawn Entertainment schon einmal mitgeteilt, welche Änderungen man erwarten darf.

Neue Spielersuche, vorgestellte Playlist und mehr

Unter anderem haben die Entwickler die Spielersuche vollständig überarbeitet. Mit der Mixtape-Spielersuche wird man sich den eigenen Ablaufplan der Spielsitzung zusammenstellen können. Allerdings befindet sich die neue Spielersuche noch im Beta-Stadium, weshalb man damit rechnen sollte, dass man einige Fehler entdeckt. Zudem wird man zukünftig Spielmodi offiziell vorstellen, die sonst nicht allzu hoch frequentiert sind und diese mit Doppelte-EP-Events garnieren.

Allerdings wird man mit Live Fire auch einen neuen Spielmodus liefern. Dabei handelt es sich um einen komplett neuen Pilot vs. Pilot Eliminierungsmodus mit rundenbasierten 6 vs. 6-Kämpfen ohne Respawns. Dieser wird auch die engen Karten Stacks und Meadows beinhalten. Jedoch wird Live Fire lediglich ein befristeter Spielmodus sein, der lediglich in der vorgestellten Playlist auftauchen wird.

Zudem wird das Update eine neue Exekution, eine Coliseum-Karte und neue Gruppierungsintros beinhalten. Außerdem hat Respawn Entartainment die kompletten englischsprachigen Patchnotes enthüllt.

NEW CONTENT:

• Live Fire: A new Pilot vs Pilot elimination game mode! It’s a 6v6 round-based with no respawns, you will have one minute to eliminate the opposing team in order to win the round. You can also win the round if your team is holding the neutral flag when the round timer ends. The team to win 5 rounds first wins the match.

PLATFORM SPECIFIC FIXES:

PS4:

• Accepting a game invite while the game is not running will now properly connect you to the invited lobby.
• General stability improvements.

PS4 Pro:

• Increased sun shadow resolution.

X1:

• Stability improvements when browsing the store.
• Fix not being allowed to start multiplayer after resuming the game from suspend when the player’s profile is not linked to an Origin account.
• Fixed being able to accept invites to a game that the player is already participating in.
• General stability improvements.
• Correctly grab the system voice permissions from Xbox and honor it in game.

PC:

• Added Adaptive Supersampling. When enabled and running faster than the FPS target, the game will dynamically increase rendering resolution up to 2x the target resolution to improve AA quality. If the maximum supersampled resolution exceeds 16K in either dimension (e.g. when running at Eyefinity/Surround resolutions), this option will be unavailable.
• Added Very High to the Model Quality tiers.
• General stability improvements.
• Added Model Draw Distance to allow pushing draw distances further out.
• Added description for Triple Buffered in the VSync description text.
• In an effort to reduce hitches from texture streaming, the „Texture Quality“ setting has been renamed to „Texture Streaming Budget“ to more accurately reflect the setting’s function, and the tiers have been renamed to indicate the VRAM amount needed. A warning has also been added when the game detects that the chosen tier uses more memory than currently detected. The goal is to only use about ~75-80% of the VRAM when the game is running to avoid GPU memory management hitches.
• Spun D3D texture creates off onto a dedicated thread to avoid driver stalls and added throttling to the number of textures that are made live by the streaming system every frame. The throttling mechanism is simplistic and can be improved, but we want to get this out earlier to see if we’re on the right track in reducing texture streaming stutter before investing more engineering effort. If you were previously experiencing stutter, please provide feedback on whether stuttering has noticeably improved after this patch.
• Adaptive Resolution FPS Target is no longer capped by max monitor refresh rate and instead caps to maximum supported FPS (144).
• Improve VRAM detection accuracy.
• Improved SLI/Crossfire compatibility. Players are recommended to not use TSAA when running in multi-GPU mode because TSAA can negatively affect performance scaling.
• Improved frame rate stutter detection tools.
• Enabling adaptive resolution while VSync is set to Double Buffered should now reliably force VSync to Triple Buffered.
• The game now prevents the screensaver/lock screen from coming up due to idling while the game is running.
• Added additional info to rare startup error „Failed to CreateGameWindow. Resolution Unsupported?“ and a speculative fix for it.
• Fixed adaptive res FPS target incorrectly resetting to 60.
• Fixed texture streaming being disabled on GPUs with < 2GB of detected VRAM.
• Fixed the game crashing on startup if a user has AMD GPU drivers installed, but is no longer using an AMD GPU as the primary adapter.
• Fixed memory leak experienced on Crossfire setups.
• Fixed various UI scaling issues when running in Eyefinity/Surround ultrawide resolution.
• Added text clarifying „Invite friends“ functionality doesn’t work while the Origin overlay is disabled.
