Patch Notes For v1.0.3.9
This small patch includes fixes for several small bugs and one enhancement. Fixes include: Fixed intro/tutorial video stuttering issue on certain platforms. Fixed spelling error in intro/tutorial video. Fixed bug that would result in arena tiles not properly showing damage after an explosion, even though they took damage. Enhancements include: Explosions do twice (2x) their previous damage; explosions include uranium reactor overloads and the explosion resulting from players being shot with lasers. Explosions have always been proportional to the amount of uranium that a player is holding, but now the damage is twice (2x) as large. Round-robin tournaments improved to prevent endless tie-breaker matches; new tournament and player stats added to match completion screen.Read full article on Community Announcements (NaughtyRobot)Patch NotesOfficial
