Patch 2.9.4
11-5-2015
Discuss here!

General
-Fixed that turning off chat message filtering did not work correctly for in-game chat because it was done by the sender rather than the receiver for in-game chat.
-Fixed that pain sounds always played the strong variation, even when you got only a little bit of damage. This happened because all damage had been multiplied by ten in patch 2.7, but the threshold for pain sounds had not. Pain sounds now again have a weak and a strong version like they did before.
-Fixed that there was always one loading screen hint missing

Replays
-Fixed that the sound of Clunk missiles in replays never stopped, not even when switching to a different replay. This caused a constant noise. (Also fixed for previously recorded replays.)
-Fixed that Raelynn’s Time Rift in combination with some other skills produced horrible sound in replays (triggering the same sound dozens of times). This happened for example with Derpl transformation and Ted Airstrike. (Only fixed for newly recorded replays.)

Ayla
-Rubber band ball, removed the third stage and the movement increase on the orbs.
-Base movement increased from 7.4 to 7.6
-Space air max movement reduced from 1.6 to 1.4
-Fiery jawbreakers, removed the old attack speed upgrade on this item
-Added tip to loading screen that explains that Ayla’s Rage becomes stronger when more enemies (droids and Nauts) are near

Leon
-Fixed that game could crash if you quit or died while the speedup from the upgrade French Baguette was active

Nibbs
-Eternal flame now won’t apply the damage over time the first tick.
-Eternal flame second stage now correctly deals 150 damage over time.

Swiggins
-Fixed an issue where poolboy’s effect would not be turned off normally.
-Removed the health regen on anchor



Patch 2.9.3 (hotfix)
31-3-2015
Discuss here!

Due to extreme graphical glitches in patch 2.9.2 we pulled that patch a few hours after releasing it. The patch notes for patch 2.9.2 are just below this one.

-Fixed collision issue with Skolldir’s throw introduced by the baby kuri mammoth upgrade
-Fixed graphical glitches introduced in 2.9.2 in OpenGL
-Removed the new optimisations that were in patch 2.9.2 since they were causing the graphical glitches. This will be reintroduced at a later patch when there is time for a real beta.
-Fixed missing and incorrect text for Ayla’s Angry Drawings upgrade
-Fixed Ayla Rage damage reduction description
-Fixed that Nibbs’ signed autograph upgrade is shown twice in upgrades list in scoreboard



Patch 2.9.2
30-3-2015
Discuss here!

Chat
-Added options for enabling/disabling global and in-game chat
-Added optional profanity filtering for global chat, in-game chat and user names

General
-Switched default driver setting for new players from OpenGL to DirectX. OpenGL drivers from some vendors keep being buggy and are even getting worse. We advise everyone with weird graphics glitches and alt+tab problems to switch to DirectX.
-More Steam user names are now shown correctly in the game (we fixed that some text characters were visualised as a * even if the text character is available in the font).
-Added loading screen for Alienware Awesome Cup

Replays: fixes for newly recorded replays
-Fixed that Sentry’s Black Hole charge bar was not visible in replays
-Fixed that the lifetime bar of Gnaw’s Weedlings was not visible in replays
-Fixed that Nibbs frenzy bar and Penny charge bar disappeared in replays whenever the Nibbs or Penny was outside your screen during recording

Graphs in replays (also for previously recorded replays)
-Fixed that graphs in replays always showed the graph for the entire replay. This made them useless because they spoiled what was going to happen
-Added totalSolar option to graphs
-Fixed that in graphs damageDone, damageTaken, healingDone and healingTaken all showed the wrong values
-Fixed that graph lines for teams often contained missing parts, especially in the left half of the graph
-Fixed that the time of team lines was off compared to the time of individual player lines
-Graph lines are now a bit thinner (looks better)

General gameplay
-Accounts now level 25% faster
-Fixed that after rejoin you wouldn't automatically rebuy all previous upgrades
-AI Station 205: moved some glass platforms down a little bit to make it easier for droids to get to the top lane
-Baby kuri mammoth now also reduces knockback effects
-Fixed that bullet detonation didn’t break stealth (e.g. Coco’s Ball lightning, Derpl’s Nuke, etc.)

Ayla
In an attempt to make Ayla’s skills more complementary to each other and fix builds where she was strong in rage mode against single targets as well as multiple targets we had to make some drastic changes in 2.9. In the days after release of the patch we seen some unforeseen issues with how the new system works and feel she was underpowered with those changes. With some additional changes in patch 2.9.2 we hope to give her more sustain and prowess in team fights, but weaken rage a bit more in 1vs1 fights, to push players towards a more active play style in combination with chain whack and evil eye.
-Hungry Zurian description changed from ‘add’ to ‘increase’
-Evil eye can now be used while chain whacking
-Blue three wheeler reverted to old speed up effect (price 180 Solar)
-Rage now deals a flat amount of 33 damage to self
-Rage damage reduced from 70 to 63
-Rage lifesteal replaced with a shield against incoming damage -25%
-Rage now deals 15% more damage for every extra target in range (max +75%)
-Rage now gains 15% more shielding for every extra target in range (max +75%)
-Rubberband ball price reduced from 135 to 115
-Reduced the cooldown for turning rage on and off to 0.5s
-Rip apart bear now reduces self damage by 5 per stage ( 2 stages)
-Angry drawings damage reduced from 22 to 19
-Angry drawings added a third stage
-Fiery jawbreakers now lets you pull enemies towards you when you turn on rage after using evil eye

Coco
-Fixed that Coco’s Ball lightning didn’t show an explosion graphic for other players when exploding on timeout. It did do damage so this is purely a graphical fix

Gnaw
-Fixed that Gnaw's bite sometimes couldn't hit Skree's totem of power

Nibbs
-Beryl scale cloak increased pull
-Chilas wax candle, fixed an issue where Nibbs could stunlock her enemies
-Eternal flame damage increased from 50 damage over 3 seconds to 150 over 6 seconds
-Eternal flame price reduced from 215 to 180
-Autographed picture of Voran damage reduced from 10 to 7
-Autographed picture of Voran now has a third stage
-Fire breath naut damage reduced from 18 to 17
-Fixed an issue where the cooldown reduction didn’t work correctly and firebreath was unavailable

Swiggins
-Fixed that if with Swiggins you spammed the Anchor Drop button quickly you could pick up the anchor immediately while it actually should have chained someone



Patch 2.9.1 (hotfix)
5-3-2015
Discuss here!

-Fixed that when invisible, Scoop could use his Hammer while remaining invisible
-Fixed that when invisible, Genji could use his auto-attack while remaining invisible
-Fixed that when invisible, Vinnie & Spike could use skills while remaining invisible
-Fixed that when invisible, Nibbs could teleport back to base while remaining invisible
-Fixed that Nibbs’ boots upgrade made her always immediately cancel invisibility
-Fixed that Leon’s clones did not jump correctly anymore, which causes them to often get stuck against low walls
-Fixed that quickly rotating with Nibbs’ Fire Breath skill produced a lot of noise in replays
-Fixed that sound for picking up Swiggins’ anchor did not play anymore
-Fixed that description of Chilas Wax Candle was missing
-Fixed that global chat member count was incorrect after playing a match

Patch 2.9
4-3-2015
Discuss here!

NEW Naut: Nibbs
Nibbs is part of the Starstorm DLC.
Nibbs is a dragon warrior in service to the Sisterhood of Coba. This demonic group was bound to the Omicron dimension who, as soon as the Starstorm ripped a hole in the continuum, started an invasion of conquest.

Right after going through the portal, Nibbs's ship landed on the space station. Scouting around, she mistook Gnaw's tail for a juicy piece of fruit. After he was bitten, the startled Gnaw led her right back to the Awesomenauts who managed to convince her to stay with a wide variety of exotic treats.

Orb of Omicron
Send out an orb to which you can teleport with a second press.

Fire breath
Hold your position and unleash your fiery breath on your foes.

Dragon frenzy
Strike with your claws. Each hit will give a stack of frenzy, increasing your attackspeed.

NEW premium skin: Battle Nibbs and the Hu-Zurian

NEW announcer: Wraithlord Scoop announcer
What do you do when you're an immortal warrior, doomed to pursue your own unending thirst for vengeance? That's right! You get a hobby! Tremble, mortals! For Wraitlord Scoop has picked up the mic and is taking to the airwaves to comment on thine matches! He's not the most cheerful fellow of the bunch, but none of the other Awesomenauts have had the nerve to tell him that.
This is a paid DLC

NEW: Custom Games Settings for everyone
Custom Games Settings are now available for everyone, instead of just to owners of the Starstorm DLC. This includes the special game modes Randomnauts and Team Deathmatch. The reason we are moving this from the DLC to the main game is because we think the current situation is too confusing and limiting. More information here.

NEW language: Russian
Thanks to the great help of the community the entire game has now been translated to Russian!

Looking for a Deathmatch custom game, discussing the newest trending tactics, speculating about items in Voltar’s Vault, it’s all possible in-game with Patch 2.8! With various chat rooms such as General Chat, Gnaw’s Spam Bukkit and Looking For Game to help you find the right people to talk to about whatever you want! The upcoming patch will bring the first version of the Global Chat system, with updates and changes coming in the future.

NEW: Background main menu
We changed the background to something more festive, merry Christmas to all!

AI modding Tools
Added settings to allow bots to aim more like a human to the ActionAimStickAtTarget block.

NEW: added more bots made by the community
If you encounter any issues with these, please report them in their respective topics!

NEW achievements

Wraith Stone
We realized the item we created to replace Solar Tree wasn’t used by many players. We are trying to find a useful yet balanced solution. During the beta we tested out a new upgrade called Zork’s Barrier. From the feedback we got we found out that some players prefer Wraithstone (+heal from critters) and some others prefer the shield. We tried to fit the items to the classes who would have most use out of each. Resulting in the following changes.
-Wraith Stones effect is replaced by Barrier magazine which provides a passive damage absorbing shield of 5% per stage (110 Solar per stage, 2 stages) for Clunk, Coco, Derpl, Genji, Lonestar, Scoop, Sentry, Skølldir, Skree, Swiggins, Voltar.

Ayla

Coco
-Coco’s Shock attack graphic now no longer snaps to 45 degree angles, but instead rotates freely like the actual gameplay effect itself. This only changes the visuals, the gameplay already had free-aiming.

-Fixed a bug where Froggy G would slide further than intended when trying to stop moving

Genji
-Fixed a bug where Genji would slide when trying to stop moving

Leon
-Enhanced Muscle Fibers was renamed to Sharp Edged Razors because Skølldir patented on this item name

-Vinnie & Spike’s jump and fall speed
- Gnaw’s jump and fall speed

Aiguillon
-Fixed that there was a spot where Yuri would sometimes glitch through terrain

Droids
-Increased the melee droid health regeneration by 20% (hopefully this will make tower pushing easier and decrease average game time a bit further)

Gnaw
-Reduced the max health Weedlings gain over time by 10%

Leon
-Fixed a bug where Leon would deal full Chainsaw damage on droids when coming out of stealth, while this should only deal this much damage on other Nauts

Voltar
-Healbot’s heal is reduced from 55 to 50 per tick


Patch 2.7.3 (hotfix)
5-11-2014
Discuss here!

General Fixes
-Fixed that a number of stats were not updated correctly in the profile screen: max kills, max deaths and longest killing spree
-Fixed that sometimes a fast ticking noise would be audible on PC, especially when playing Ted McPain or Penny.
-If an ally or enemy makes a triple kill, it no longer displays “Source” instead of his name
-Fixed a bug where the leaderboards history showed the old and new menu background at the same time
-Fixed flickering icons when clicking checkboxes and volume icons in the settings menu

General gameplay
-Turrets now have 15% reduced health. (Since patch 2.7 matches have been taking longer than before because of all the droid changes, which was not intended. Reducing turret health will reduce the average match duration.)
-Fixed a bug where super droids would fall off their first platform in Aiguillon
-Fixed a bug where Vinnie & Spike bot (with cheats) shot too many bubbles
-Fixed a bug where crit numbers appeared on low numbers. Also this gave the blood effect while it should not

Game Speed
A number of speeds were accidentally increased in patch 2.7 and are put back to their intended values now
-Fixed Froggy G’s and Gnaw’s jumps, which were higher than intended
-Fixed a bug where Clunk and Vinnie & Spike would fall and walk a lot faster than intended
-Fixed a bug where a number of other Nauts would fall and walk a tiny little bit faster than intended: Penny, Coco, Genji, Ted McPain, Froggy G and Gnaw

Clunk
-Fixed a bug where Clunk’s Salvo damaged for 100% on turrets
-Clunk’s Power Converter now heals 400 like shown (instead of 393)

Leon
-Fixed a bug where Leon’s tongue dealt 118 damage on the first hit

Lonestar
-Fixed a bug where Lonestar’s bull wouldn’t tank the turret if droids were tanking

Scoop
-Changed the stat description of Double Licker Sword. It now shows the increase of lifesteal instead of the total lifesteal.
-Fixed a bug where Scoop sometimes had a double voiceline making him very loud

AI modding
-Modded Skølldir bots now have increased damage on Bash depending on bot level



Patch 2.7.2 (hotfix)
29-10-2014
Discuss here!

General fixes
-Fixed that game sometimes froze on exit and sometimes failed to upload the stats of the last match (both related to the Profile screen)
-Made some changes that hopefully fix the error 51 bug that some people were getting, and the issue that some players had their exe removed by their virus scanner
-Fixed that sometimes the main menu and profile screen showed the wrong rating (“10000” instead of the real rating)
-Increased resolution of some of the fan-art in loading screens on Low graphics quality to make them look sharper
-Fixed a bug where Scoop’s Frozen Hammer wouldn’t trigger sometimes if spammed
-Fixed that turrets sometimes targeted Nauts when they should have been targeting droids
-Fixed a bug where Ted could have a double airstrike if it would hit something at the max range

Droid Health
Our goal with droid changes was to reduce the time of games. We found that because of reverting some of our changes in the beta, we reached the opposite of our goals. We now give the droids some more early game health to give people the opportunity to make plays early on in the game (like turret pushing).
-Droid base health increased from 700 to 850 health
-Droids bonus health per 5 minutes played reduced from 150 to 100 (stacks up to 3 times, so the late game max health is still the same as before)

Killing Spree Ending
We increased the combined bonus Solar that a team gets for killing someone that's on a killing spree (3 kills without dying). The killer gets a bit less and the rest of the team gets more as it is mostly a team effort to take down such a strong opponent.
-Killing Spree bonus gold given to killer is reduced from 40 to 20 solar
-Killing Spree bonus gold now also goes to teammates, 20 solar for each teammate

Lonestar
We tackled a lot of Awesomenauts but we didn't touch Lonestar. The Cowboy destroyed his enemies a little too hard and it was time to give him a minor adjustment without taking away any fun in playing this Awesomenaut. We will see if this is enough or if we’ll have to balance him out some more.
-Dynamite now deals 175 damage instead of 200 damage per charge

Jumps
While improving the precision of our Jump Height stats we accidentally changed some settings.
After some extensive testing we found the bugged jumps and fixed them as a result.

-Fixed a bug where Penny's jump was higher than intended (with boots and without boots)
-Fixed a bug where Coco's jump was higher than intended (with boots)
-Fixed a bug where Clunk's extra jumps were higher than intended
-Fixed a bug where Genji's jump was higher than intended (with boots and without boots)



Patch 2.7.1 (hotfix)
24-10-2014
Discuss here!

-Fixed that scoreboard icons (prestige, Koalas, Ducks, etc.) were not shown during the first match of a session
-Fixed that the game would crash if Scoop died from damage-over-time while Binding Of Justice was active and Scoop had the Holy Cup upgrade (cleansing).
-Fixed that droids floated in the air when they started attacking while in the air
-Fixed that with some skills if you used a skill right after jumping you would get a small extra jump after the skill
-Droids will now only attack when they are on the ground
-Droids will now fall down again when attacking in air (this could happen when you push them off a ledge while they are attacking)
-Fixed that sometimes Taunts, Double Kills and Triple Kills would be triggered quite long after they were actually performed

-There is known bug in the game that sometimes it freezes endlessly on exit. We have not been able to fix this one yet and need your help to investigate this further. If you get this bug, terminate the game after at least 30s and then send your logs to Dennis, as is described here so that we can analyse how this bug happens



Patch 2.7: The Frozen Frontier
23-10-2014
Discuss here!

NEW Awesomenaut: The Scoop of justice!
Scoop is a brave Gelati knight. The Gelati are brilliant craftsmen famous for their delicious Castle Ice Cream. The gelatinous knights gather snow and ice from different planets and mix them with sweet candies and fruits. Although cocoa trees haven't been seen for ages and they are thought to be extinct, the Gelati see it as their holy duty to find a real piece of chocolate and create the ultimate flavour of ice cream: stracciatella. Scoop was assigned by the lords of his house to aid the Awesomenauts in protecting the universe from the new Omicron threat.

Scoop’s skills are as following:

Wrapping of justice
Wrap yourself in healing bindings which heal you and damage your enemies.

Frozen hammer
Throw out a hammer of ice that snares multiple enemies. The longer it flies, the more damage you deal and the longer the snare lasts.

Sword strike
Hold attack button to alternate between a direct stab and a sweeping cleave attack that heals you.

Recently we managed to reach the kickstarter stretch goal containing the level editor for Awesomenauts! To celebrate this huge achievement, we at Ronimo have decide to make the 6th Starstorm naut Scoop a free character available to everyone with the base game. Also we’re still working on the 5th Starstorm-naut and you will hear more about her soon!


NEW skin: Wraithlord Scoop
Once an avatar of Justice itself, Wraithlord Scoop is the twisted resurrection of a once benevolent warrior. On his new dark path this once noble spirit has now been consumed by an unending vengeance.
Ancient prophecies have been discovered that speak of the Wraithlord's legendary dark weapon, Doomblade. It is said that unless a being of pure spirit exorcises this Doomblade, the dark powers within it resurrect the Wraithlord each time he is slain...

NEW: Beginner missions
We have added a new structure for beginning players that will ease them into the gameplay more smoothly.

NEW main menu
We have redesigned the main menu for more awesomeness, to make certain things more clear and to make room for new and coming features (like the beginner missions).

NEW menu music
The menu music has been extended for much more awesomeness!

NEW: Damage multiplied by 10!
We multiplied all the damage numbers by 10. Apart from Clunks hitting badass numbers like 1000, this decision was made so we could do more fine balance changes. When an attack hits 2 per second and we want to nerf it, it would be nerfed by half. Now we can nerf things with 10-100%

Rewards for kills
The reward for killing someone felt too weak for us, we increased the bonus amount for a killing blow from 30 to 40. Also killing someone with a killing spree now gives you a bonus 40 solar instead of 20. Also the player dying now loses more: from 30 to 40 Solar. Bots will still drop half the amounts.

Removal of solar items
Some Solar items have been removed from the game because they felt unfair and didn’t require the player to play the game like they should be playing. Items replaced are: Flashy Glasses, Solar Magnet and Solar Tree. Read more at the specific upgrade note.

General
-Fixed an extremely rare bug that sometimes after landing with the droppod you couldn’t walk anymore, except for a few pixels per press.
-Most bots have been updated with various fixes and improvements. Most notably, fixed that Ted McPain did not shoot at all on the lowest difficulties. Bots are created and maintained by community members. Please report any issues with these bots directly in their topics.
-Shop music now starts at a random position in the song for more variation
-The game now communicates to Nvidia Optimus that the Nvidia videocard should be used instead of the slow onboard Intel graphics chip. This only applies to laptops with Nvidia Optimus and should result in much better framerate for users who had not set this by hand. If desired you can overwrite this using the Optimus settings.
-Particle forces have been tweaked to make particles move less far. This especially fixes particles blowing several screens away after Coco’s Ball Lightning explosion.
-Removed Roflnauts Easter egg from tutorial because it crashed some computers. Roflnauts can still be played by running it directly from your hard disc.
-Fixed that the full-screen red flash when you are hit was always shown twice
-Fixed that droids did damage too early in their animation (while their saw was still behind them instead of at the moment they actually hit you)
-Fixed that the Solar Boss achievement did not work at all any more

Network
-Tweaked throttling and turned it back on. It turns out that the number of network errors increased significantly when we turned throttling off, so we are putting it back in. (Throttling is that Awesomenauts temporarily sends less if a player’s connections cannot handle the bandwidth.)

AI modding
-Modders can now make bots for Team DeathMatch. Just turn modded AIs on to load any available bots in a Team DeathMatch game. Turn on “Allow same Naut on team” to prevent normal bots from also spawning this way.
-Host migration now won’t happen automatically any more if modded bots are enabled in Custom Games. Host migration will still happen if the host actually leaves. Modded bots are not migrated correctly so this fixes issues with those matches breaking if a slow host was automatically migrated during gameplay.
-Counters, booleans and messages are no longer case sensitive, so for example “myCounter” is now the same thing as “mycounter”.
-Fixed that if the canPayUpgrade block was true, it elso executed the false part. This also made it never work in AND and OR blocks.
-Added pathing through the burn area on AI Station 205. These paths have very low priority, so they will usually only be chosen in team deathmatch when area walls are enabled, or when a bot already happens to be halfway through.
-Improved flyer pathing in the jungle in Ribbit IV

General balance
-Turrets will now hit droids instead of Nauts when they are bunched in front of a turret. You can still tank the damage of the turret but you need to actively walk into a turret to do this.
-The scoreboard now takes into account when a player has lost Solar due to being killed. Previously the scoreboard would show a too high Solar amount because Solar loss on death was ignored there.
-Minimum respawn time increased by 3s (8s total now with 5s camera movement )
-Maximum respawn time reduced by 5s (25s total now with 5s camera movement)
-Droids will now move faster and will start combat faster without pushing each other
-Fixed an issue where droids would not spawn on the same location to form nice droid waves

Solar Tree
-Solar Tree is replaced by Wraith Stone
-Wraith stone costs 155 solar
- Wraith stone increases healing by critters by 200

Leon
“What we tried to do with Leon is amplify his dueling potential while removing some of his “All Round” powers. Now tongue deals less damage against droids and his Chainsaw no longer works on droids and towers, Leon has to think about his build and playstyle. While staying an excellent Assassin.”
-Solar Magnet is replaced by Spectacles magnet piercing
-Spectacles Magnet, price increased from 60 to 190 Solar
-Spectacles Magnet, blinds enemy Awesomenauts on hit
-Chainsaw Addon, damage now only works against enemy Awesomenauts
-Cloaking Skin, can no longer be used to de-stealth while the skill is active
-Clover of Honour, price increased from 165 to 200 Solar
-Morning Star Piercing, extra damage is now only against Awesomenauts

Raelynn
”Raelynn is one of the characters that didn’t cost a lot of effort but was always strong in the midgame. We are giving her more of a roll decision, she could be a pusher or fighter. Giving the players the choice to play her the way they want. We reduced some prices since she can no longer get solar from Flashy Glasses”

Patch 2.6 Reloaded
28-8-2014 (19:00 CEST, Amsterdam time)
Discuss here!

NEW: Removal of the loadout and introduction of ZORK’S MEGA SHOP!

At Ronimo we love to criticize our own work and improve where we can even if it means making large changes. Making Awesomenauts a better game is our #1 priority!

For a long time now we have evaluated the loadout system and recently we came to the conclusion that the game needed something better.

From a design perspective the loadout system was meant to increase item build options, but what we found was that it actually works quite the opposite. With the ever increasing size of the Awesomenauts team, new gameplay, situations, added mechanics and with no information on enemy team composition or selected level players were forced to pick the best items for every situation before the battle. This limited options, effective builds and created frustration when the situation in game was not optimal for your chosen build and reduced overall fun.

So we made the radical decision to remove the loadout completely and came up with something better and what is better than a loadout you ask?... ZORK’S MEGA SHOP that’s what’s better!

With a completely new interface and expanded shelves, you now have 6 options in the shop per skill row. You still can buy 3 items per row, but you will have all the items available to you to choose from during the game. This will give you more control over your build, allows for situational items to become a lot more interesting and hopefully we’ll see more items being picked..*cough*baby kuri mammoth*cough*! We are certain you are going to enjoy this major overhaul! :)

NEW: AI Station 205
This is a revised version of AI Station 404 with two lanes, a new hazard and pimped graphics. The original AI Station 404 is still playable in Practice and Custom Games, but will not be selected anymore in online public matches. Stats are not actually recorded during the beta because you cannot play public matches in the beta!

NEW: Bots made by the community!
A whopping nine new bots have been added to the game, and the four existing ones have been improved! These are:
-Ayla by Veanko
-Coco by nailclipper
-Genji by thesilverskull190
-Gnaw by Veanko
-Raelynn by Pirate-Rob
-Skree by Veanko
-Swiggins by hurleybird
-Ted McPain by Gatronix
-Vinnie & Spike by TheMesp
-Clunk by Veanko
-Froggy by gmfreaky
-Leon by Veanko
-Lonestar by Veanko
Online bots now use difficulty level 3, which means they cheat half as much as they did before. In Custom and Practice modes you can still set bots to difficulty levels 4 and 5 to make them cheat more for extra challenge.

NEW: Profile screen BETA
In the new profile screen you can keep track of many more stats than before, including lots of information per Naut. (Note that this feature is still in beta for the moment, so it might contain some bugs. We store these stats on a Ronimo server and this might give some problems at first.)

NEW premium skin: Grim Genji

NEW ultimate skin: Magma/Jotunn Skolldir

NEW skin: Leon Legionnaire

NEW: Removed Rematch option after public matches
Since only part of the players in a match used the Rematch option, this resulted in lots of half-filled matches. We expect matchmaking will function better if instead all of these players just enter the matchmaking pool again, giving the matchmaker a chance to put them in the matches that fit their location and rating best. This also removes the irritating timers from post-game chat.

NEW: modded AIs can now spawn new characters using the new SpawnCharacter block. This makes all kind of cool mods possible, including awesome defence mode mods.

[b]NEW: Autocam and graphs in replays

-Replays can now show graphs of things like kills, damage and Solar.
-Replays now feature a new camera mode that automatically follows the action. This is now the default camera when a replay is opened

NEW: Added tooltips for purchased upgrades in the in-game scoreboard and to the skill dock

Replays (also for previously recorded replays)
These fixes also affect replays that were recorded before this patch
-Fixed that replay menu become very slow when there were many replays in the list
-Fixed that scrollwheel made very big jumps when there were many replays in the list
-Fixed that the camera would sometimes stutter when following a player
-Tooltips have been added for the replay buttons, showing keyboard shortcuts
-Button to customise shortcuts for replays has been added to the replay browser menu (keys could previously already be configured through the normal controls configuration menu)
-Fixed that character glows, when hit or healed, would stay unnaturally long
-Replays menu now shows whether a match used modded AIs
-Added an option to hide names and healthbars of players
-Replays now show an error when opening a replay that was recorded with a newer version of the game (this can happen when switching from beta back to normal game)

Replays (newly recorded only)
These fixes only affect newly recorded replays
-Fixed that moving platforms were not positioned correctly in the replay anymore after five minutes
-Fixed that Penny’s combobar was not shown
-Fixed that most status effects lacked visuals (stun, snare, silence, slow, DoT)
-Fixed that “reconnecting” icon was not shown
-Fixed that in replays overlays recoloured with damage/heal/blackhole (they don’t in-game either)
-Fixed that when Genji shot a neutral creep, the impact graphic would look like a white square
-Fixed that when anyone shot an enemy, the impact graphic would have the colour of the enemy instead of the damage dealer’s own colour
-Fixed that Ravishing Raelynn and Bionic Raelynn had an extra arm floating half a screen in front of them during the start and end of a snipe
-Fixed that glows on Sentry’s arm were in front of Sentry while the arm was behind him (this probably also fixed tons of other depth bugs in replays)
-Fixed that Ted McPain’s arm+gun sometimes disappeared
-Chatlog now also shows events like kills and such (similar to the in-game chatlog)
-Fixed that replays also skipped the first 10 seconds of the match when Droppods were disabled in Custom Games

AI modding
-Made many fixes and improvements to the path graphs of the levels, mostly based on AI modder suggestions. Check these two lists for all changes: here and here.
-Path nodes now also show their ID number. This is only relevant for the new spawnCharacter block.
-Jumppads that are only accessible for one team are ignored in the path finding of the other team now.
-Fixed that AIs sometimes chose the waypoint they were already standing on as the next waypoint to walk towards, which would cause them to get stuck. This specifically happened in Ribbit IV when a bot for a tall character (like Raelynn or Voltar) was standing at the healthpack on the glass platform just behind the front turrets at top lane.
-Fixed that AIs failed to load if root node had a comment
-Fixed that if if you played the same class as a modded bot and had Allow Same Naut On Team enabled, the game would destroy and recreate all bots every frame.
-AI editor is now also included with the game on Linux (there is no Linux port so this requires Wine to run)

Network
-Fixed that host migration failed if the new host left the game during host migration (host migration can still fail for other reasons, like if players don’t have a connection with the new host)
-Important gameplay data (like bullet creation info) is now sent twice, greatly reducing the impact of packet loss on gameplay. This increases bandwidth by around 5%. (Explanation: if a packet is lost it takes a while before the game can know this. The game waits with resending until it knows the packet is likely lost, which results in lost data on a really bad internet connection getting a very high delay. Now important data is immediately sent twice, so even if the packet is lost, another packet comes in immediately after that also has the data.)
-Improved throttling

Design notes on bots:
We want to remove as much bot cheating as possible, with the new improved AI’s the bots are a lot smarter and don’t need to cheat that much anymore, so we have removed most of the cheats and in some leagues the bots won’t cheat at all and in the lowest leagues they even get negative cheats. So this is quite the improvement. The full breakdown on botcheats is as following:

Practice/custom games
-Difficulty 0: really dumb, 3x as high cooldowns, items 3x more expensive, 15 seconds OtherSkillCooldown, never buy utility items, don't buy any upgrades in first 5 minutes (bothandicap1+2)
-Difficulty 1: much less smart, 2x as high cooldowns, items 2x more expensive, 5 seconds OtherSkillCooldown, never buy utility items, don't buy any upgrades in first 3 minutes (bothandicap1)
-Difficulty 2: less smart
-Difficulty 3: maximum smartness, 19% lower cooldowns (botlevel1+2)
-Difficulty 4: maximum smartness, 35% lower cooldowns (botlevel1+2+3)
-Difficulty 5: maximum smartness, 55% lower cooldowns (botlevel1+2+3+4)

Online
-Leagues 7-9: maximum smartness, 2x as high cooldowns, items 2x more expensive, 5 seconds OtherSkillCooldown (bothandicap1)
-Leagues 5-6: maximum smartness
-Leagues 3-4: maximum smartness, 10% lower cooldowns (botlevel1)
-Leagues 1-2: maximum smartness, 19% lower cooldowns (botlevel1+2)

OtherSkillCooldown means that if a bot uses skill 1, skill 2 goes on cooldown, and the other way around. So Froggy cannot do tornado and dash immediately after each other.



Bots
-Bot difficulty changed see design notes above
-Bots don't respawn quicker anymore
-Bots don't deal increased damage against turrets anymore
-Bots don't receive extra max health

Design notes on game length:
Games tend to take quite long at the moment, a bit too long for our taste, we are aiming at 15-20 min per game. Sorona is by far the most time consuming map, because of the length the droids needs to bridge to get to the turrets, so we reduced the health of the front turrets a bit as well as an increase of sawblade droid hp and sawblade droid regen. These last two will also help to reduce gametime on the other maps



Sorona
-Reduced the health of both front turrets on Sorona by 10%

General
-Five skins permanently reduced in price (officerlonestar, grandmaster splash, coco mcfly, double o yuri and bionic rae)
-Can now keep page up/down pressed to scroll through chat quickly (also in replays)
-Fixed that game crashed when joining a game from practice mode
-Removed ‘How to play’ menus from the game
-Adjusted scroll speed for all scrollable UI elements in the game
-Fixed an issue with the hints not showing correctly
-Fixed an issue where droids could get stuck on Ribbit and Aquillion
-Blind has been changed.

General balance
-Air max values of Ayla, Gnaw, Derpl, Swiggins are now showing the correct value in the description
-Killing spree bonuses for killing Penny, Vinnie, Genji, Swiggins, Ted McPain, Skree and Sentry now work
-Super droids, will now be affected by blind
-Fixed an issue with super droids getting stuck above enemy team jumppads
-Sawblade droids, health increased from 60 to 70
-Sawblade droids, health regen increased from 120 to 150 health per min.

Design notes on Ted McPain:
Over the past few patches we have tried to make stimpack better, but overall the skill was lacking enough uhmpf to get picked over shot upgrades and airstrike. This is the reason why removed the self inflicting damage on stimpack to remove the downside of the skill, obviously this made the skill a no-brainer with the short cooldown, so we increased the cooldown so give players more choice when to use the skill, instead of just activating it after every cooldown. With the longer cooldown it made sense to bring back the full clip angel wing toilet paper and to balance the removal of selfdamage on ammo weekly we increased the price a bit. Armpit shaving cream could not stay the damage reduction obviously so we went with a shield instead. Puffed spider eggs was an underused item and doesn’t really fit shotgun ammo theme so instead went with an extra shell to increase your burst with the shotgun and with the side effect of increasing the stimpack duration while holding the machine gun, to make stimpack work better with machinegun mode and reduce the pain of having to wait on the gun switching animation. Grenaide pour homme, was one of the worst items in the game, very underused and we did a revamp as well to a short stun pulse to give ted either a better escape or a great opener.


Ted McPain
-Stim pack, removed the self damage
-Stimpack, changed the description of stimpack
-Stimpack, removed the healthrestriction on stimpack
-Armpit shaving cream, now adds a damage reducing shield for the duration of stimpack, 2 stages 10% damage reduction per stage

-Ammo Weekly, removed the old selfdamage stat
-Ammo weekly, price increased from 160 to 175 Solar per stage
-Fixed an issue where holding airstrike while firing your machinegun would cancel the movement penalty for shooting
-Added ammo setting to base stats shotgun
-Double RPG, cooldown between airstrikes reduced from 2s to 1s
-Angel wing toilet paper, now fully reloads shotgun
-Grénaide pour homme, now emits a stun of 0.2 seconds
-Grénaide pour homme, price reduced from 185 to 160 solar
-Ted McPain now spawns with machine gun so you can use the extra movement speed to get to the action
-Switching stance icon now shows the right cooldown 0.6s

Design notes on Sentry:
Basically Sentry is one of the strongest nauts in the game at the moment and he excels at being a tank, in our opinion his sustain was a bit too much with the lifesteal on tactical vest, that’s why we nerfed it a bit also the damage reduction shield of microfilm was a bit too much. The idea of Sentry was to make him tanky but his main survivability must come from his teleport beacon, which requires skill to time correctly instead of just plain health/shield/lifesteal. So we buffed the cooldown of beacon by 25%. On also reduced his main shot damage a bit with not so serious tank, he did a bit too much damage as well combined with his tankiness. The same reasoning goes behind the nerf on circuits of time. Lastly we did some changes to counter intellligence cross, although we liked the original idea on paper, practically it felt clunky and gimmicky to detonate the mines. With the turrets being able to counter outranging we did some changes to long range attacks counter intelligence is one of them, but you will find other changes in the patchnotes,machine gun range for instance that got buffed for to the same reason.


Sentry
-Tactical vest, lifesteal reduced from 20% to 15%
-Dog tags, attackspeed reduced from 20% to 15% per stage
-Dog tags, price reduced from 190 to 170 solar
-Not so serious tank, removed a stage
-Not so serious tank, damage increased from 1 to 2 per stage
-Not so serious tank, price increased from 145 to 180 Solar
-Counter-Intelligence cross, removed the detonate, mines will now automatically start homing after time out
-Counter-Intelligence cross, price reduced from 295 to 200 Solar
-Counter intelligence cross, homing bullets now also deal aoe damage
-Counter intelligence cross, homing bullets now also deal 50% damage to turrets
-Counter intelligence cross, homing bullets will now fly to same direction as they are shot in, when no target is found
-Circuits of Time, removed a stage
-Teleport beacon, cooldown reduced from 20s to 15s
-Microfilm, damage reduction reduced from 15% to 10% per stage
-Microfilm, price reduced from 160 to 140 Solar per stage

Design notes on Vinnie & Spike:
Overall Vinnie & Spike have been the character(s) with the highest winrate in the game for a long time now. We think he is not overpowered though but there were some concerns that the pricing of his items were a bit too cheap, giving him early access to endgame strength, this is the reason why we nerfed a bunch of items we think were a bit too cheap and did some small damage nerfs here and there. Also the range of his main gun was a bit too much, and made poking at enemies a bit too easy. Mammoth sock was worthless at 1 stage so we combined that one into 1 item and last but not least, the beloved double dive found its way back. This time we replaced the rigged casino games with something more appealing the double dive, big difference with the old double dive is that this one reduces the damage of both dives with a flat amount to be able to make it not too strong.


Vinnie & Spike
-Spike dive, cooldown increased from 7s to 8s
-Sharky & Remora, range reduced from 4 to 3
-The Codfather, damage reduced from 3 to 2
-The Codfather, price reduced from 175 to 150 Solar
-Smoke screen, will now hit faster, which should counter some issues where players would be able to do skills even while they should be silenced by Red bandana
-Antique machinegun, price increased from 160 to 175 Solar
-Alien abduction kit, lifesteal increased from +25% to +30%
-Red bandana, price increased from 185 to 220 Solar
-Rubber mask, price increased from 70 to 100 Solar
-Withered president mask, price increased from 150 to 185 Solar
-Rocketeer, now also increases duration by +1s
-Mammoth sock with holes, removed a stage
-Mammoth sock with holes, duration increased from +1.2s to +2.5s
-Mammoth sock with holes, price increased from 175 to 235 solar
-Rigged casino games, removed a stage
-Rigged casino games, now adds a second Spike Dive 2 seconds after the first for -20 damage
-Rigged casino games, price increased from 125 to 225 solar

Design notes on Swiggins
Swiggins is definitely the ‘naut with the most changes this patch, and you probably going to love the complete overhaul on the way anchor drop now works. A lot players complained about not being able to pick up the anchor when you want instead of the automatic return of the anchor after a set amount of time. With the new system you can decide when you want your anchor back, creating new ways for Swiggins to play instead of the hook & drop combo. You can throw down your anchor and get the movement speed increase to get into the action, wait for the best opportunity to get your anchor, recall it and hook, and if you planned it correctly you can drop right after that. Also losing the anchor to get away and don’t have to worry about a returning and slowing anchor you can safely run away and recall your anchor when needed. Treasure lotery map was a really crappy item and with debuff immunity on it, hopefully will make it more attractive in fights against strong teams with cc’s. Bovinian skimmed milk now adds amplify damage which is going to make teamfights a lot more interesting, we put the old speed increase from Bovinian skimmed milk on Krill biscuits, because we liked the upgrade but it fits better in that row, it should also give some incentive to divert from the cookie cutter damage build. Last thing, the double glazed royal porcelain was an upgrade we didn’t find very suiting for Swiggins, so we went with a chain utility item for it instead.


Swiggins
-Drop anchor, duration of the chain reduced from 4s to 3s
-Royal toy castle, damage reduction reduced from 12.5% to 10% per stage
-Treasure Lottery Map, now adds debuff immunity for 1 second after hitting an enemy 'naut with Anchor Hook
-Treasure Lottery Map, price increased from 80 to 175 solar
-Ancient octant, fixed an issue where it wouldn't trigger when both anchor drop and hook were used at the same time
-Anchor drop, fixed an issue where it dealt double damage
-Bovinian skimmed milk, now adds damage amplification of +10% per stage for the duration of Anchor Drop (2 stages)
-Bovinian skimmed milk, price increased from 145 to 160 Solar per stage
-Krill biscuits, now has the old effect of bovinian skimmed milk where it increases movement speed when not holding Homboldt
-Magnetic Anchor, damage increased from +3.3 to +5 per stage
-Double Glazed Royal Porcelain, now reduces the lenght of the chain by 25%
-Drop anchor, base range of chain increased by 10%
-Not seeweed, increase blind duration from 0.2s to 0.4s
-Inkshot, Slightly increased the collision size of the inkshot bullets
-Anchor drop, the anchor will now stay on the floor until the cooldown has run out. After that you get a new skill (anchor recall) that when activated returns your anchor to your hand. When you touch the anchor when anchor drop is on cooldown the anchor recall skill becomes directly active. If you pick up the anchor before the end of the cooldown you will still need to wait until the end of the cooldown to throw another anchor drop.

-Fixed a double text in Gnaw's backstory in French

Patch 2.5.6
20-8-2014
Discuss here!

-Removed network throttling entirely. "Throttling" means sending less if the connection is bad. Although throttling reduces network errors it seems like it also makes the game feel more laggy, so we are removing it now to see whether this makes characters warp less. We also think throttling might not be relevant anymore now that general bandwidth usage has been reduced so much in patch 2.5.4.
-Reverted the decrease of maximum packet size from patch 2.5.5: we don’t understand why but our metrics say that this has slightly increased the number of network errors.
-Increased AFK timers from 1.5 minutes to 2 minutes for not pressing any buttons and from 2.5 to 3 minutes for not interacting.



Patch 2.5.5
8-8-2014
Discuss here!

-Fixed that Reconnecting icon was triggered too quickly for players with low ping but high packetloss
-Decreased maximum packet size (MTU), hopefully decreasing the number of connection problems on joining a match and during host migration.
-Fixed a theoretical crash in our netcode (we think this one might accidentally have never happened in the real world though)



Patch 2.5.4
28-7-2014
Discuss here!

-Massively reduced bandwidth and packet count used by the game. The exact results vary depending on the gameplay situation: the less opponents are in view, the stronger the effect. Bandwidth has been reduced by between 35% and 50%. Packet count has been reduced by between 20% and 65%.



Patch 2.5.3 (hotfix)
4-7-2014
Discuss here!

-Fixed that some players had short freezes every couple of seconds
-Fixed that all sounds were started a little bit too late, randomly by up to 0.1 seconds
-Improved network throttling algorithm

Replays
-Fixed that icons for damage and heal stats were Solar cubes
-Fixed that some replays would not show up in the menu. Note that this is not fixed for those replays that had this problem and were recorded in patch 2.5.1. You can fix broken 2.5.1 replays by hand by opening the replay.info file and removing any weird characters from the steamId fields (like 〈 or Ø).
-Fixed that replays sometimes claimed chatlogs were corrupted when this was not really the case
-Fixed that in some rare cases scrolling by holding the cursor at the side of the screen did not work
-Fixed that on Low and Medium graphics quality you could see beyond the borders of the graphics on AI Station, Sorona and Ribbit.

AI modding
-Pressing alt+F9 now moves the selected AI to the camera position instead of the player.
-Search areas are now shown in front of the foreground level graphics instead of behind them.



Patch 2.5.1 (hotfix)
13-6-2014
Discuss here!

General
-Fixed that sound was completely broken or slightly broken for some players. The rare subtle ticking bug that we had tried to fix is back now, but few people had noticed that one anyway, so we will fix that later
-Increased the delay before a turret becomes invincible again after shooting from 0.5s to 1s
-Fixed that replays sometimes claimed the chatlog was corrupted when this was not really the case

Skree
-Fixed that Skree’s lightning attack had less range when aiming at someone behind the player

Patch 2.4.2 (Hotfix)
26-5-2014

-Fixed that due to a broken Steam function the game could not figure out anyone’s league anymore for matchmaking, making matchmaking much worse. Rating was still taken into account, but not as well as it should. Things are still not optimal until Steam fixes their bug: the game now always searches as if there are few players only, so less tight than it should on busy hours.

Patch 2.4
14-5-2014
Discuss here!

NEW character: Sentry
This character is part of the Starstorm DLC, so you need to own Starstorm to play Sentry yourself. Everyone can play against Starstorm characters.
Sentry is a robot built for infiltration, fooling enemy troops by mimicking anything from an umbrella to a phone booth. After re-activating aboard the Starstorm and finding it overrun by hostile mercenaries, Sentry chose to join them undercover. Biding his time to exact revenge, gathering enough Solar to buy a very serious tank. One with a shark printed on the front!

Skill: Black Hole Sun
Enables a damage collecting black hole that can be placed with a second press, pulling enemies toward it and dealing the collected damage.

Skill: Teleport Beacon
Sentry deploys a beacon to which he can teleport. Sentry deals a damage dealing pulse at arrival.

Basic attack
Warbots from the X-58 line come with a high powered photon mine launcher.

Jump:
Standard warbot energy thruster, for short leaps in combat.

NEW: replays
The game now stores your matches on your hard disc so you can watch them back! With an awesome interface for looking around, zooming in and out, slow motion, rewind, and many more features! To share, rename or remove replays, click the Browse Replays button in the replays menu. Each folder is a separate replay, so you can rename and delete folders, and you can send replay folders to friends.

The replay player recognises files that are newly added to the replay while playing. This can be used to make a real-time spectator mode with a friend by mapping a folder on your hard disc to someone else’s replay folder on another computer. This is pretty technical but it is possible using for example DropBox.

Discuss here!

NEW character: Penny
Honorary Star Scout Penny Fox is on a personal quest to rid the galaxy of all evil. In pursuit of these lofty goals, she has traveled all over the worlds to collect weird aliens and put them in jars for her private collection. During her latest travels her scooter broke down in the Raki system, forcing her to scour for spare parts on the nearby starstorm station. It is there that she found a mysterious robotic claw, which would lead her to the adventure of a lifetime!

Her skills are as follows:

Pounce
Consume all charges to charge forward, knocking back enemies you come in contact with. Each charge increases range and damage.

Energy pulse
Consume up to 4 charges to shoot a piercing energy pulse that amplifies damage. Each charge increases the damage.

Claw
Penny strikes with her claw awarding a charge when hitting an enemy. Max 4 charges.

Leap
Being super agile, Penny can leap up and perform a double jump.

Patch 2.0.3 (hotfix)

Discuss here!

It seems Ted McPain had underestimated the coldness of deep space, so he went to the Happy Bullets factory on the moon to craft an armor as hot as a thousand suns!

-In our designs we like to pay homage to things we like, but Titanium Ted was too close to some of the inspiration, so we have changed him to avoid copyright issues.

Patch 2.0
5-12-2013

Release of Starstorm (early access)

The first parts of the Starstorm expansion will go live with this build. Including custom games, Ted Mcpain and the menu overhaul. The Starstorm expansion is available for purchase on Steam as early access.

New Naut: Ted McPain
Ted McPain was one of the great heroes of the first AI Wars, a long time ago. Long after his eventual heroic demise, he lived on as he became the star of various video games: Ted McPain I through XVII, Ted McPain: Zombie Blast, Ted McPain vs. Evil Ted McPain and Ted McPain Unicorn Dance Karting. Now Voltar managed to re-materialize Ted. The Ted McPain that appeared, though, was missing his pants for unknown reasons.

Ted McPain has the following skills:

Airstrike
Call in an ion cannon airstrike for maximum damage.

Stimpack
This stuff hurts, but stimpacks make Ted go berserk, enhancing his attack speed.

Machinegun/Shotgun
Ted can alternate between his shotgun and machinegun.

Also two skins are part of the Starstorm release:
-Party boy McPain (Ted McPain)
-Titanium Ted (Ted McPain)

New icons: Killer Koala icons
-Special icons for in the Leaderboards and Scoreboard
-These are only for Kickstarter backers in the Silver tier and above (keys have been emailed already to Kickstarter backers; Paypal/Humble backers can find their keys in their Rewards page)
-Players who already had a special icon (like a Golden Duck, a Tentacle or a Lensflare Cat) will see both now

Custom games
Custom games are now only available for Starstorm owners.

-New game mode: Team deathmatch (Nauts will not be rebalanced for this, so some classes are stronger than others for this game mode)
-Turn on/off turrets
-Turn on/off droppods
-Turn on/off random respawn positions
-Turn on/off shopping everywhere
-Turn on/off team deathmatch walls (to create smaller levels)
-Turn on/off extra Solar pickups in levels
-Turn on/off extra health pickups in levels
-Turn on/off losing Solar on death
-Modify starting Solar
-Modify and turn on/off respawn timers
-Modify droid and creep counts and turn them on/off (use at your own risk: if you set this too high, you can completely destroy your framerate and internet connection)
-Decrease bot count and turn them on/off
-Note that Achievements are turned off in Custom Games to avoid abuse (non-customised Private Matches still get achievements like before)

Menu overhaul
-The Awesomenauts menu now has some brand new colours smacked onto it!
-The main menu now features a carousel that highlights new DLC, trailers and community events.

General fixes
-Fixed that on Linux, the music would stop and start a new song if you opened the shop
-We think we have fixed the issue where very rarely Clunk would get continuous regen after a successful Bite. This would not stop until he died, making Clunk nearly invincible. Since this bug is extremely rare and we could not reproduce it, we cannot be 100% that we fixed it, so please report it to us if you still encounter it!
-Removed golden Solar coin in mid area Sorona
-Spawning and movement of creeps on AI Station 404 and Ribbit IV is mirrored so both teams have the same chance to kill them

-Reduced healthdrops of creeps from 30 to 25 health

-Fixed an issue on Aiguillon where characters from team blue would be unable to jump while standing on the teamwall in the neutral zone of team Red.

Vinnie & Spike
-Vinnie & Spike Bubble gun now states "attack speed" instead of "attackspeed"
-Red bandana silence time increased slightly, this should prevent buttonbashing to still do skills during silence
-Blind duration on smoke cloud increased from 0.375 to 0.38 to prevent flickering of enemies on minimap

Leon Chameleon
-Both Leon's slash attack and enhanced muscle fibers now show the correct amount of attack speed
-Leon can't use tongue pull anymore while cloaking skin is active

Genji
-Cocoon doesn’t shut down damage reduction shields (Royal Toy Castle, Force Field and Brim Force Field)
-Removed a comma in the flavour text of misfortune cookies
-Fixed a bug where the extra health of spiritual cooking would be removed quicker than normal

Ayla
-Mammoth sock with holes stealth won’t affect Ayla anymore when she is in rage.
-Fiery Jawbreakers text now also states the 50% self damage increase

Gnaw
-Fertilizer now increases in strength over the course of a game. 15hp for the start and an extra 15hp every 5 min with a max of 60hp at 15min
-Increased Gnaw’s collision box slightly (width and height)

Raelynn
-Removed a stage of HC bomb and fixed triple and quadruple damage bugs.

-Added a new song to the soundtrack: Spanking Stars
-Everyone can temporarily hear this track now, but starting patch 1.26 it will be part of the Starstorm-DLC

New announcers: Pappa Gnaw and Voltar
-Added new announcers: Pappa Gnaw and Voltar
-These two announcers are only available to Kickstarter backers in the Bronze Tier and above
-The Humble Store folks have not updated the rewards page yet, so Paypal backers will get their keys as soon as they are added there. Kickstarter backers should have already received their keys through email

18-9-2013

-Removed banners for the Kickstarter campaign and last week’s skin discount.
-Fixed a rare crash when a player respawns in an online match.
-Fixed that the sound thread used the processor excessively unnecessarily on Windows and Mac. On the computer we measured on, processor usage by Awesomenauts reduced from 75% to 50% (!). This should reduce battery usage on laptops and might also improve framerate on computers with two cores or less. We’d like to know to what extent this influences framerate, so If you notice a difference in smoothness of the game with this new patch, please post it in this topic.





Patch 1.22.5
13-9-2013

30-8-2013

-Fixed that Swiggins would die if he used Anchor Hook on the worm hatch while it was closed.
-Fixed that at the top jumppads on Sorona, Ayla would automatically turn off here Rage mode at the top of her flight. (It still turns off if you don’t press any buttons, but if you give normal input it works fine now.)

Patch 1.22

Discuss here!

New 'Naut
Admiral Swiggins
(voiced by Myndflame)

Admiral Swiggins, commander of the Royal Fleet of Titan, is known for his brutality and command in war. With his trustworthy anchor “Sweet Homboldt” he violently smacks his foes off deck but after each victory he nibbles on a shrimp & krill biscuit and calmes his senses with a nice hot cup of tea.

Role
Slow/medium speed, initiater, tank.

Anchor Hook
Swiggins hurls Homboldt forward, if he hits an enemy or an wall he will fly to the target.

Drop Anchor
Swiggins throws Homboldt out, if he hits an enemy Awesomenaut he will be chained to Homboldt.

Anchor Swing/Ink spray
Admiral Swiggins swings his trustworthy Homboldt or sprays corossive ink.

Squid jump
Flinging himself upwards, Admiral Swiggins can perform a second thrust in the air by shooting out ink.

New features
-League icons are no longer visible in the scoreboard.
-Added a delay timer on the quit popup when quitting from a QuickMatch or Battle, to make you rethink whether you really want to abandon the other players.
-Added the Roflnauts soundtrack to the soundtrack DLC.

General fixes
-Optimised loading times and download size. Startup loading is now up to 25% faster (results vary greatly per computer, this is the highest we measured). The game is also about 5% smaller now, but you won’t notice this because Swiggins was also added in this patch, making it bigger again.
-Made some changes to hopefully fix the problem that on Linux sometimes the sound effects would stop playing altogether until the game was restarted. Please let us know if this still happens!
-Teamwalls in neutral area Aquillion are now thicker, this should prevent some ‘nauts to shoot through it.
-The text “teleporting” has been removed when teleporting.
-Fixed that sometimes the Kickstarter popup would be enabled when quitting the game, causing the game to open a browser window with the Kickstarter page even when players didn’t click it. Sorry for the spam!

New features
New playable ‘Naut: Ayla!
This devious little girl is voiced by Ashly Burch!

Major fixes
- New players now get a lower rating and league in the leaderboards, so that they start in league 9 (or sometimes maybe league 8) instead of in league 5. This rating decrease gradually disappears in their first 30 matches. This counts total matches finished in ALL seasons, not per season.
- NEW SEASON STARTED! Since this changes the scores of all new players, a new Season is started, making the previous Season extremely short!
- Matches now update their league based on who is in the match. So if a match is started by a league 3 player and then a league 1 player joins, the match changes into a league 2 match, instead of remaining a league 3 match as before.
- Made some improvements in Season transition code, hopefully fixing the issue that some people were shown in the leaderboard as if they had played a very large number of matches and had a very low win percentage.
- Fixed that an incorrect leave penalty was sometimes applied.
- Fixed that anti-cheat code would sometimes incorrectly think there was a speedhack happening and would then quit the game.

Discuss here!

New features

- New map: Aiguillon!

"Aiguillon, the new Awesomenauts map, is out now! This new map has a whole new layout and takes place in a ruined, forgotten temple on Leon's homeworld Aiguillon. Combatants wishing to dominate the map are advised to stay on their toes. That's because Leon's people, the Kremzon, heavily favour stealth in combat. The temple is built around a stealth orb, which grants the user a peroid of invisibility. Apart from the orb, the temple also features ample hiding places used to stay out of sight.

Legend tells the story of a giant cranky porcupine wandering through space. Furious at the sun for burning his eyes, he charged and killed both the light and himself. His prickly remains now orbit the dead sun and gave home to the Kremzon, a crude and devious species that spend most of their time in bustling cabarets and smokey cafés. Aiguillon's thorny rings conceal a mythical temple, rumored to hold the power of invisibility.

-Fixed a bug where clunk would shoot a missile in the ground after using life bite

[b]Leagues


- Starting with the new Season (April+May), League 2 is now half as large as it used to be. League 3 has been grown to compensate for this.
- At times during the day when there are few people playing online, leagues 1 and 9 won’t join league 5 matches any more. (All other leagues still search 5 leagues wide at such moments, so for example league 4 players search for matches of leagues 2 to 6. At times when there are more people online, a league 4 player would search in leagues 3 to 5.)

Minor fixes

- Fixed that the Mac version would sometimes randomly not receive some packets. Such packets would then have to be resent, which caused a little bit of extra lag.

Patch 1.16.3
3-4-2013
Discuss here!

- Improved transition to new Season. For some players the number-of-matches-played stat for the new Season was not reset and continued with the stat from Season 1. This makes it look in the Leaderboards like these players played a lot of matches in Season 2 already. They usually also have an extremely low win percentage. This patch does not fix this issue for players who already encountered this problem: it only keeps it from happening for players who had not played a public match in Season 2 yet.

Patch 1.16.2
21-3-2013
Discuss here!

- Made a number of fixes to prevent ranking resets from happening. Hopefully there will be fewer resets now! If you still get a reset with this new patch, please send us your logs, so we can investigate.

Patch 1.16.1 (Mac only)
20-3-2013
Discuss here!

- Fixed that the Mac version was missing a lot of sound effects since patch 1.16, especially for the newer characters.

Patch 1.16
13-3-2013
Discuss here!

New features

- Coco McFly character skin (for Coco): Coco has accidentally been sent back to the year 2015 by mad scientist monkey Yuri! 2015... when hoverboards had a weirdly nineteen-eighties-like design! Coco McFly must now find a way to go home in the future! Will she ever get back?

- Bionic Raelynn character skin (for Raelynn): Raelynn has been recruited by a supersecret bionic spec op team. The new and improved Bionic Raelynn has augmented her already impressive battlefield performance with bionics, cybernetics, a worn cloak and shiny lights.

General fixes
- Improved Leaderboard code to make resets of Ranking and Matches Played happen less.
- APL winners got a special Lensflare Cat icon and a mention in the dropzone of each level.
- Leon clones are now affected by the same effects as Leon himself (Vinnie’s Smokescreen stealth and Genji’s Monarch Blessing)

- Fixed an issue where the game would for some users never get through the “Waiting for Steam initialization” screen.

Patch 1.9.3
19-11-2012
Discuss here!

-Removed free-weekend banners from loading screen and main menu

Patch 1.9.2 (hotfix)
17-11-2012
Discuss here!

-The matchmaker now never searches in only one league, even if there are a lot of people online. It now always searches within 3 or 5 leagues, depending on how many players are online. This should solve the issue that players in the highest leagues had difficulty finding opponents during the free weekend (which drew in lots of new league 9 players).

Patch 1.9.1 (hotfix)
16-11-2012
Discuss here!

-Fixed a big issue with leagues, causing everyone except league 9 to find too few opponents to play with.

(Explanation: Earlier today one of our programmers had accidentally made all leagues a lot smaller, except for league 9. Since there are a lot of new players now because of the Free Weekend on Steam, we should in fact have done the opposite. This has been fixed this evening: all leagues are now a lot bigger to make room for the new players, except for league 9, which is now a normal size instead of housing almost everyone. This bug was made worse because we recently introduced a new feature that if a lot of players are online, everyone only plays against opponents from his own league. We were able to fix this on the matchmaking server and did not have to release a real patch for this.)

Discuss here!

New Playable Character: Raelynn

Raelynn loves big guns. After highschool she went straight into the E.L.F. army to fight against the invading robots, just before the first AI war. She was trained by the best and excelled in long range weaponary. Within a year she was given the honor of joining an elite squad called the SkyCrows, where she met the love of her life: her Protorblaster "Cuddles". For years they did covert missions together as a team to disrupt robot production and steal robot technologies. They were feared by all robots (well...the ones with emo-chips). Until that one deep space mission to AI station 404 in the year 3009, where she ran into a robot ambush, and "Cuddles" was brutally taken away from her. Raelynn was put into cryostasis. Decades passed until a small mercenary team found her hidden on the planet. There she was rejoined with "Cuddles" and many warm 'hugs' were given that day to all robots on 404.


Abilities:

Snipe- Take aim and deal a powerful and very long shot, that pierces through enemies.

-Bite, Rotten teeth, damage reduced from 10 to 7



General fixes: Major fixes
- The ranking system has received a major overhaul:
- Your increase or decrease in rank after a match is now scaled by how long you’ve been a part of the match. If you join a match that has already been in progress for a long time, your change in rank will be relatively small.
- When calculating your new rank at the end of a match, the skill of all players that have ever participated in that match will be taken into account. Previously, the skill of people that have left before the end of a match were not a part of the calculation.
- The penalty for leaving a match is now equal to a loss of that match. Even if you unplug your PC and / or network cable, the leave penalty will still be applied. The loss in rank will not be scaled by how long you’ve been a part of the match, so it will always be preferable to play until the (bitter) end.
- Split screen players used to count as if they had the same skill as bots, but now they will count as having the same skill as the main player. This fixes the major leaps in rank that split-screen players used to get.
- Because of all these big changes, the leaderboard and rankings of all players will be reset. Games played, win percentage and other leaderboard stats will not be reset.
- With all these changes there comes the risk of introducing new bugs into the ranking system, even though we have tested the new system extensively. If any major bugs are found we may reset the leaderboard again in a future patch.


General Fixes: Minor fixes
- Added extra platform near the base on AI Station 404, placed same platforms in Ribbit IV
- Improved crit chance calculation for various skills. Limiting the chance of multiple crits in a row and long streaks of non-crits.
- Fixed hiding of certain skills by shortly tapping the teleport to base button.
- On accepting a game invite the invitee will be placed in the team of the player that sent the invite if there is a free slot in that team.

New playable character: Gnaw
Gnaw's highly adaptable physiology allows him to thrive in almost any athmosphere. Gnaw was trained by a band of Amphibian cosmic bikerpirates, that rent him to any war general that is desperate enough to set loose the rabid, chitinous menace upon the battlefield.

Abilities:
Acid spit - Spit out a sticky spray of acid goo that damages enemies over time.
Grow Weedlings - Bite enemies to gather growth parts, then use those to grow a weedling.
Bite - Gnaw bites his enemies with his filthy maw, dealing damage over time.
Jump - Skroggles have a strong single jump.

New features
- Added several songs to the downloadable Soundtrack (DLC). New tracks include Character Themes and Killing Spree theme for all characters, including Gnaw.

General fixes: major fixes
- Fixed a crash in character select with a specific control scheme configuration.

- A number of cheaters have been banned. Cheaters can now only play against each other in their own private matchmaking.
