Hi everyone, we just pushed v1.3.1 and started up servers around 4AM eastern time. If you're not seeing "Version: 1.3.1 (386)" at the bottom right please update your client program. Thanks and see you in the skies!

Gameplay
- Additional cloud cover on Battle on the Dunes and Canyon Ambush (both 2v2 and 3v3 version in all maps) to allow ground to be covered against hyper lonjg range weapons.

[Nacreous]

[LukeWee]

can u guys fix the crew spawn? Sometimes when i fall off the ship the game spawns me back outside ship and kept on happening until it manage to spawn me on the ship.

[[Muse] Bubbles]

Yeah I did notice that as well yesterday. I already reported it, and we're looking at what's happening. Thanks for the report! And we'll try to get this fixed up asap. Howard

Another bug, sometimes I can´t mount the weapons with the "E" key. I have to leave to the lobby and rejoin the match, then work.

@gofio, quick question, are you using XP? Please let me know! Thanks, Howard

[subtle]

cool

[kiguso]

windows 8

[James]

Awesome.

[[Muse] Bubbles]

@gofio, that's odd, if you can send us your player log and dxdiag + msinfo to [e-mail], we'll take a look for you asap.

Here's how to get the files:
To get player logs:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\guns of icarus online\GunsOfIcarusOnline_Data\output_log.txt

To obtain the DxDiag file:
Press Windows Key + R.
Type DxDiag and press Enter.
In the DxDiag window, click Save All Information.
Save this file to the desktop and name it dxdiag.

To obtain the MSInfo file:
Press Windows Key + R.
Type MSInfo32 and press Enter.
In the MSInfo diagnostic window, click File, then Export.
Save this file to the desktop and name it msinfo.

By the way, quick question, do you have a controller plugged in? Can you go to Options and see if joystick controls are disabled? Also did you change your key bindings at all? Oh, and what language keyboard are you using?

Please let me know! Thanks, Howard

[kiguso]

Hi Howard I sent the files to muse support, my keyboard layout is spanish.

I have not changed the key bindings.

Joystick controls are enable but I do not have a joystick connected, so I disable the joystick in the options. (perhaps this is the reason for the bug?, I will look this afternoon if it happens again,it happened to me yesterday).

Thanks for the support.

[[Muse] Bubbles]

Ok awesome, and I'll reply to you shortly. Yeah possibly, let's try disabling it and see if that helps. And reply to me on your email again after you try this. And I'll investigate more.
Thanks a lot! Howard

[SynTak]

Sweet.

[Alkirin]

Is it just me, or are the cloud/dust effects just horribly worse than they were before?
