Star Citizen 2.6.2 Changelog

Star Citizen 2.6.2 Release Notes

New Features

Game Systems:

Star Marine

• Added a “+25 Headshot” bonus reward for killing players with a projectile shot to the head.
• Last Stand scoreboard now shows the number of Control Points captured.
• Enemy players attempting to enter a spawn room will now be killed by the spawn room barriers in Last Stand.
• Temporarily disabled the ability to prone or melee in Star Marine.
  • Melee and prone have been removed for the time being as they allow for too many exploits.
  • We are actively working on a fix for these kinds of collision exploits and once this is completed, we will re-enable these features.
• Last Stand now requires six players to start, instead of eight.

Ships:

• The Drake Buccaneer has been added to the game and enabled for Crusader and Arena Commander.

Technical:

Mega Map

• Mega Map is now enabled for multiplayer Arena Commander and Star Marine maps.
• The new Mega Map system allows for much quicker loading time when switching between maps.
• It is not enabled for Crusader or Area 18 at this point.

Screen Resolution

• With 2.6.2 we have added support for very wide screen (21:9) screen resolutions in our game and screen resolutions.
• Fixed a number of issues with the game UI and menus that would occur when monitors were set to 21:9 aspect ratio resolution.

Serialized Variables

• Serialized Variables replaces some of the original aspects of CryEngine for handling data (aspects and class members) previously serialized by CryEngine NetSerialize calls. In simpler terms, it’s a much more lightweight means for handling update messaging on the network, with reduced risk of updates being lost in caching or other processes – and reducing lag.
