Patch Notes v.1.22.39.55 - August 23rd

[Christian Hedberg]

Version 1.22.39.55 – Release
2010-08-23


Notice: We can't stress this enough. When the launcher is running the patch installer, let it run its course. It will take some time to apply the patch and it might seem like the installer is doing nothing, but it is working. If you reboot or kill the patcher process you run the risk of corrupting you installation, forcing you to do a full reinstall.




------ ADDITIONS & CHANGES ------


General:
- Rebuilt the stat-loss for reds, it now works like this:
When you kill a blue player, you receive +1 to your long-term and short-term counts.

• The long-term timer decides if you are Red or not.
• The long-term timer is on a 8 hours / count timer.
• Going above 5 long-term counts flags you Red.
• The short-term decides if you will receive stat loss or not.
• The short-term timer is on a 4 hours / count timer.
• Going above 5 short-term counts will cause you to loose stats when you resurrect. (10% stat loss as always)

Each time you kill another blue player you will receive another count and the timers will reset.



- "/statlosscount" or "/statloss" in the chat will show you your current stat-loss time.
- You will now lose a murder count every 8th hour.

Not sure I understand how the extraction catalyst stuff works now. I can just put all my stack of catalyst in the extraction window and it will take the max amount for max yield?

Nice work guys, good to see a focus on big fixes.

[LordMega]

What happens to current timers? ex: I had waited ~16-17 hours off my 20 hours timer to be blue when the server went down. Will I be blue when I log in? Will I have 3-4 hours left? Or will I reset at 8 hours?
