Patch Notes: V0.3311 August - Smallimpact
Citizens of Mercia the weeks end approaches and so does an update with new exciting content, a broad range of fixes and further admin tools!
Find the new relic helmet through world events and dominate Mercia in style
Our first priority this week was fixing the LAN server issues. The latest engine update (4.20) from Unreal came with a bug that caused connections to LAN servers to fail. We looked into their code and managed to fix the problem so you can now connect to your own LAN servers again. While fixing things we thought we would further empower server admins by added extra features. Server admins can now destroy any player built object in their server (even if they are not the owner). We also added two new options to the admin panel (F8). Admins can now force destroy all buildings on a server and can also wipe a specific characters save from their server (by using their steam id which you work out here:
https://steamidfinder.com/)
Another of our core fixes this week has been working on land claim exploits to help put and end to some exploits being used on the PVE servers. With the fixes out the way we moved on to finishing off some new content we have been working on behind the scenes. New character models, new animations, new relic item etc.
