- Patch Title: Task Force 0.5.10.1950
- Patch Release Date: April 13, 2024
The developer of Task Force has released a new update for the game on April 13, 2024. Here are the new things that you should expect to see or change on this new update. This information was curated directly from the official announcement on Steam.
This update makes some very important changes to the new stats and rankings system. Previously if a player left the game before it was over there was no “game over” calculations on that account when the server sends final stats after the final round. This means you could leave in the middle of a game and neither receive a loss nor a win since you weren’t there for the end of the game. However for a competitive system to function correctly we need to penalize players that try to leave “competitive mode” early before the game is over. Therefore we now find all players from the stats history of the current game that are no longer connected to the server and put a game loss on their account for leaving early.
We plan to add a popup message in the next update when quitting the match early if the server is in “competitive mode” along with a “competitive timeout” so players are aware of this penalty when trying to quit back to the main menu. Note that a player can re-join a match before it is over to prevent receiving any penalty and complete the game as normal.
The update also fixes an issue with the bomb icon indicator when someone has picked up the bomb. This icon would not display on the player after the round was over as all the other diamonds do, which should now be corrected. Finally an issue has been addressed in the bullet tracing system that prevented the physics types of surfaces on dynamic meshes from being known on impact. This was causing “purple impacts” to display on certain physics-enabled objects such as weapons players drop of they die.
