Nexuiz 1.1 patch notes (Xbox 360) and THQ announce a UK Tournament

Quote from the Tiggs on the official forums

Here is what you can expect in our upcoming update! (Date will be announced soon)

Along with server performance upgrades and network optimizations the following fixes are in this update:

MAJOR ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN FIXED:

Fix for 8 players not being able to play in an online match
Infinite loading screen when joining a match with no timeout. 1 person stuck in lobby:
Spawning without a weapon, only a reticle
Hard crashes during Host Migration Screen

GENERAL FIXES

Reduced network bandwidth on the Flags in CTF
Fixed Increased Score mutator not working correctly for clients, only the host
Fixed ragdolls from jittering really bad
Fixed issue where score bars don’t adjust when Increased Score is called
Fixed bug where projectiles don’t get destroyed right away after hitting a player, floating around where they hit for a second when the player dies
Fixed issues with Post Game points not lining up correctly with what you really earned in game
Fixed issue of dropped weapons not giving you ammo. This sometime would not allow you to pick up a dropped weapon, and the name of the weapon would not show on the HUD.
Fixed issue with Super Crylink not always telefragging other players.
Fixed issue with destructible items not always going away, like IllFonic Heads and Flag Defense.
Fixed Magic Flag not teleporting and effect not spawning on clients.
Fixed effects not attaching to flags at all times on clients, for Regen Flag etc.
Fixed bug where destructible items explode when they are already destroyed.
Fixed bug where Ubernuke sound only played on the host.
Reduced Oldschool Mutator pixilation from 25 to 15.
Fixed Issue where Nex Scope goes away when buttons are mashed.
Fixed Nex Scope zoom out sound not playing.
Fixed Jump Pad usage statistics not adding up when you jump from Jump Pad to Jump Pad.
Fixed issue with Party Play not assigning friends in your party to correct teams.
Fixed issue with the Lobby not showing the correct teams in the Post Match Lobby.
Fixed issue with Mutator Icons getting stuck visually when counting down.
Prevented joining / searching a game in progress after a host migration.

ADDED FEATURES

Turned on vSync to reduce screen tearing
Added voice support to Party Play lobby

Also note that the damage on the shotgun has been lowered, and this change has already gone live. It's good to see how fast they have managed to fix all these bugs, and to my knowledge the update has already been handed to Microsoft, so we are just waiting on them to verify it and upload it. Sadly my Xbox red ringed today, so I am unable to play for now, however I will still continue to keep you updated on the scene.

 THQ Announce UK Tournament


THQ have announced a 4v4 pull up and play tournament over on their official site. This tournament will be a one day event, where teams will be randomly matched into groups of 4. While this might seem strange, it's a fantastic opportunity to meet other like minded members of the community. Participants must be from the UK and the winners will receive a free copy of Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team.
