Gravity Patch Notes — October 29, 2023
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
This update is a companion to the Event update from a month ago. For that update, I added events and rule-driven rewards. I promised titles and badges to participants in the event, and now the UI for that has arrived.
Titles and Badges
- In the cosmetics menu, choose an active badge and an active title, or choose not to use them
- See everyone's badge and titles if they have one equipped on the individual pack leaderboards, overall leaderboards, and in their profiles
Enhancements
- Added a monospace font for use in time display, such as the split timer or times on the leaderboards
- Added a fallback font for extended ASCII characters, improving the number of letters that can be shown with the big blocky font
- Use better colors in the individual pack leaderboard entries, instead of the harsh previous colors
- Small improvements to the UI of profiles, making the display of a player's name better
Performance
- Rewrote the starry background from the ground up, improving framerate in the game and menus by 25-40%
- Made player movement feel smoother by using better physics prediction to determine where the player would be under low framerate
- Drastically reduced player jitter when using camera smoothing
Bug Fixes
- Fixed camera smoothness not updating while changing settings mid-game. It previously only updated if you used escape to close the pause menu instead of the close button.
- Fixed difficulty achievements not unlocking
- Fixed buggy hover effect on a player's name in their profile
- Starry background will no longer become laggier the longer you leave the game open in the menus
