DFX Update 1.6.9.3 - Notes

Game Additions and Changes:

1.) In-game changes to video resolution will now produce a confirmation message before applying the changes.
2.) The KOTH Hot Zone now changes colors on the GPS map based on which team has more time in the Hot Zone.
3.) An option to enable or disable the Experience Reward Sound Effects was added to the Audio options menu.
4.) The four levels of HUD detail have been re-addressed. There is now Default -> Brief -> Minimal -> None.
5.) Players will now be able to see their total NovaWorld experience points on the HUD while playing in a Nova stats game, as well as an approximation of the total amount of NovaWorld experience points they have gained since they logged in.
6.) The “Session exp” will reflect an approximation of your session experience points. It is important to note that this feature takes at least one game cycle to update. Players that leave a game early and join another will not see their most accurate update until the previous game has ended and the server has updated the stats section to reflect the most current information.
7.) Re-balanced enemy AI ammo to behave in a manner consistent with the rest of the ammo in the game.
8.) Emplaced weapons ammo has been updated to behave in a manner consistent with the rest of the ammo in the game.
9.) Multiplayer end-game score screens have been updated to more accurately display the winner of the game, and how the game concluded.
10.) Deathmatch and King of the Hill games will no longer sort the kill list based on experience, but rather on the winner determinant value. In Deathmatch that would be kills, and in King of the Hill that would be time in the zone.
11.) There is now a server-side option for “hit feedback”. This option defaults to on and is accessible from the game.cfg configurations file. The field name is “hitfeedback”.
12.) When a player dies, a respawn timer will now appear to indicate how long until a player may spawn.


Game Bug Fixes:

1.) The crosshair will render more accurately in 1024x768 resolutions.
2.) In King of the Hill and Deathmatch the score list will no longer overlap the game information in the lower right hand corner.
3.) Flashbangs will now function accurately in DM and KOTH.
If a player re-joins a game after getting kicked for inactivity, he will now get a spawn and weapon select screen.
4.) Players can now chat during the end-game score screen.
Team passwords entered in the wrong case no longer put the player on green team.
5,) Fixed a bug that was preventing double kills with certain weapons.
6.) Fixed a bug that was causing players who hosted their own game and then joined as a spectator to be unable to move around in the world.
7.) While hosting, bringing up the ESC menu then hitting R will no longer cycle the server.
8.) Fixed a bug allowing the player to zoom in on non-zoomable weapons.
9.) Fixed a bug that caused client’s waypoint lists to reset when respawning in coop.
10.) The “/serveonly” command will now render text on systems that have a video card without hardware texture and lighting.
11.) A bug was fixed where players would sometimes die holding a grenade and upon respawn be forced to throw said grenade before being allowed to change weapons.
12.) Server host messages are now subject to a profanity filter.


Mission Changes and Fixes:

1.) The number of minigun Littlebirds in Combat maps have been increased.
2.) Motorcycles have gained a 10 percent speed increase.
Map Named Locations now appear on spawn screen in single player.


NovaWorld Changes and Fixes:

1.) Checking “Remember My Login” in Joint Operations will no longer cause DFX to ‘forget’ your login info.
2.) Users will now be punted if after entering a server they fail to spawn or provide other input within 6 minutes of joining.
3.) NovaWorld games can now restrict players from servers based on a player’s total number of kills.
4.) In-game leveling works accurately now
Fixed “Commander of the Ar” bug – The longer rank titles were being truncated. They now display the full title for in-game leveling and on the stats web pages.
5.) Improved ping code to provide more accurate ping times.
6.) We now display the user’s Total NovaWorld experience points and session experience points (those you have accumulated since logging in) on the HUD in game when playing in a NovaWorld Stat server.
7.) NovaWorld menus and campaign lists will now support advanced and beginner servers for NovaWorld stat games. 8.) These games will be hosted by NovaWorld. Inclusion and exclusion rules for these games are based on the number of kills a player has.
9.) The NovaWorld menu’s “Misc” tab has been renamed to “My Account”. Clicking My Account tab will be provide the user with options to view NovaWorld announcements, the EULA, the account’s current player’s stats, and to manage the player’s NovaWorld account.
10.) The NovaWorld menu’s “Assortment” button has been renamed to “All”.
11.) The NovaWorld login screen will no longer “Auto-Login”. Rather, if the player chooses to have the game “Remember my Login Information” then the game will auto-complete the Login and Password fields when this screen appears, but it will log the user in.
12.) Returning to the NovaWorld login screen will no longer break the Tab key functionality.
13.) The NovaWorld account Help button has been updated with information.
14.) Host Messages are now subject to a profanity filter.
All "Intense Combat" references have been changed to "Combat”.
15,) All references to "Sniper" missions have changed to change to "Sniper (Advanced)" missions.


Menu and Text Changes:

1.) The in-game options menu will no longer run off the screen when in 1024 x 768 resolution.
