v1.7.44 - Update: region picker, voice chat opt-in, smoother matchmaking
Game client (Client.dll)
- Voice chat is now opt-in. It is off until you switch it on in the launcher (Settings > Voice > Voice chat) - and it now turns on or off right away, even mid-match, no restart needed.
- New Mute everyone (Settings > Voice): keep voice on and still talk, but hear nobody. Works instantly.
- Your account name everywhere: the lobby and the players you KO now see your rVclient account name instead of your PC name.
- Play Again / Respawn: Playground always keeps Respawn; Battle Royale uses Play Again. Play Again waits longer for the next match instead of showing "connection lost".
- Fixed a crash when leaving a match after the server closed.
- The Discord Join button is only offered in Playground (Battle Royale modes are joined through matchmaking).
Launcher
- Pick your matchmaking region: Settings > Matchmaking region. Auto (lowest ping, shown next to each region) or lock one region. In a party the leader's choice is used.
- Server Status: servers are grouped by region. Solos, Duos, Trios and Squads show Play - they're joined through matchmaking - with an option to match you in that server's region; Playground keeps Join.
- The invite link / console command buttons are for Playground; in a Battle Royale match invite friends to your party instead.
- Party invites from the launcher fixed.
- Quicker updates from now on: when an update only changes the game mod, the launcher swaps Client.dll without restarting itself.
- Clearer messages while the region list is loading.
Includes everything from v1.7.43.
