​Gameplay

• Critters will no longer hide underwater

• Ties in the post-game statistics will now be noted by a (T)

• A hidden “macro game timer” has been added.  If no players have become a Final Evolution by the 45 minute mark, the storm will begin and death will become permanent.  All remaining players will be killed and the game will end at the 60 minute mark

  • Dev Note: The average game time is 15-20 minutes.  This is intended to stop players from sitting idly in games with nothing happening or prevent potential exploits from locking players into an unwinnable game.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue causing an extremely high spawn rate in some locations in the mountains.

• Fixed an issue where dying as a level 7 with enough catalyst to evolve to a Final Evolution would cause the evolution prompt to still be present as an egg.

• Fixed an issue that would cause DoTs to be removed from the player when re-rolling as an egg.

• Fixed an issue that would cause trees obscuring the camera to not fade while a spectator.

• Damage dealt by projectiles and spawns will now be properly recorded for the post-game statistics.

Misc.

• Added additional sound and music when entering the queue, a match is found, and the game load is finished.

• Added a death recap option while in spectate mode.
