Beta update – 4 Jun, 2024 @ 00:17 UTC

The beta branch has been updated with the following changes:

  • Fixed picking up crafting materials resulting in dropped frames.
  • Implemented an initial version of the cryo cannon.
  • Aliens can now be frozen beyond 100%, adding a delay before the alien begins to thaw.
  • Thawing no longer resets an alien’s animations.
  • Jigglebone simulation speed is now affected by frozen status.
  • Marines now deal additional damage to frozen targets.
  • Added a convar to allow challenges to make marines deal additional damage to targets that are on fire.
  • Fixed some cases where aliens could still move while fully frozen.
  • Boomers can no longer explode while fully frozen (but still pop if killed while fully frozen).
  • Freezing an alien that is playing a spawn animation now does nothing until the spawn animation completes, to avoid having attacking an enemy make them take longer to die.
  • Queen tentacles no longer have shadows.
