v8.00 Patch Notes

Battle Pass

We've added a brand new Battle Pass for you! The pass starts out with 2 pages (22 levels) with new pages rolling out through the season!

The pass does have a Paid option but to not make it too intrusive we only make 1-2 items per page paid. This is the opposite of how other games usually do it, Usually in other games they have 1-2 items per page free and the rest as paid.
Paying for the pass goes back into Fortress content such as tournament prize pools.

Easy Anti-Cheat

With our v8.00 patch we're adding Easy Anti-Cheat, A leading Anti-Cheat used by many games such as Fortnite, & Apex Legends. This is to try and keep the cheating to a low and keep the competitive integrity as much as possible. Not only are we implementing Easy Anti-Cheat but we also have some internal detections that were added last update to help prevent cheaters.

Epic Online Services

We've added Epic Online Services, Epic Online Services is used to host P2P & Dedicated sessions, This allows us to have INFINITE active matches, Before we limited it to 4 active multiplayer matches at once

To clarify, Just because we're using Epic Online Services does NOT mean you have to login with an Epic account, You will automatically be logged into EOS ( Epic Online Services ) with your Fortress account, No player action required.

Peer-2-Peer

With EOS (Epic Online Services) we're adding Peer-2-Peer matches, This means 1 player will act as a host & the rest will be clients, Ping will depend on the hosts connection to the EOS servers. However, The host should always have 0 ping. Our goal with using this technology is to make friend play & custom code play better.

Re-vamped Tabs UI

Damage/Building Changes

We've changed how damage displays when damaging builds. Now when damaging a build it will animate red & have an orange damage indicator, This should hopefully clear up confusion when shooting a player that is next to or placing builds.
