Overstep Patch Notes — November 20, 2020

Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.

We can't believe it's already been a year since we launched Overstep on Steam Early Access. It has been a year full of hard work, new experiences and it's been awesome to meet our players from all over the globe!

Your feedback has been the secret weapon for traversing the land of iteration and dilemmas, from rail grind speeds to map sizes. It's like you're a part of the team - we couldn't be happier about it!

Changing the quality settings and hitting apply sometimes doesn't save the settings
Escape doesn't take you back a step in the in-match menu.
In the settings menu. When Quality is not set to Custom, the individual Quality settings are greyed out. This is confusing some players who try to change the individual settings and not being able to do so.
When using the lowest resolution value, texts on the loadout menu become off-centered and the matchmaking menu is almost unusable.
Infinite running when pressing ESC during a match
CTF mode; the Flag stays in water in Resort
If you enter matchmaking and choose the Overstep Classic game mode. You sometimes get client-side flags that can't be interacted with.
Weapons with splash damage do double damage
Dead characters have no ragdoll behavior at all. The game still has the old dying animation.
In the settings menu, using ‘reset to default’ reverts all settings to default, except for the resolution setting.
Pressing F2 in Trials mode breaks it
In the main menu, you can click on the friends and settings icons but only on the very top edge of their icons.
Parties permanently block Trials mode, until restarting the game
In the main menu, the platform meshes that the robots stand on have a gap between the top and the sides, allowing you to see a bit of the background through the platform.
Heat mode doesn’t register kills/deaths count
Blank widget avatar when not party host
CTF flags are present in other game modes in the resort map
Fixed inconsistency of skin rarity color between skins shop list and skin purchase popup
Colored the skin labels by rarity on the store.
