We're looking to have this patch available to our players on Tuesday at approximately 1 PM PDT. It can take in upwards of a few hours to push out to all consoles.
Content Update 1 - Release Notes
NEW FEATURES:
Vibration
- Now you can really feel your Mech getting hit! HAWKEN now has controller vibration support for both PS4™ and Xbox One!
- An option has been added to disable rumble if it is not your cup of tea.
Daily Achievements
- The daily reward bonuses for each day are now displayed on a menu at the login screen.
- Daily rewards are something you can do once per 24 hours for rewards. Check back periodically as other challenges may appear!
Button Mapping
- You can now remap buttons on your controller in Hawken, similar to the functionality seen on PC.
- Almost all buttons on the controller are valid targets, so feel free to remap to your heart's content!
- These save on our servers, so no matter where you play Hawken, you will have the correct bindings.
- Various tooltips throughout the game have had their tooltips changed to support this system.
CHANGES & BUGFIXES:
General
- Some framerate tweaks have been implemented in this release. A noticeable change is the framerate spike on killing a mech which should no longer occur.
- Orbs now disappear over time when you are standing on them, regardless of if you are full health or not. This should help with the infamous 'orblording' scenario.
- Music should now appropriately play in the right locations.
- The post-match screen should now show the proper amount of HC you earn if the amount you earn was 0.
- Cockpit lag can now be adjusted to 0, allowing it to be turned off completely, which may increase framerate on older consoles.
- A collision issue that allowed players to fall through a map has been corrected.
- Holotaunts can now be used more frequently.
- The region you select will now save on the server side and remember that you have selected that region.
- We have disabled a number of level-up screens that are not relevant to progression in this release.
- Some placeholder text that was missing has been corrected.
Keybinds
- Fixed an issue where an incorrect/invalid key for volunteering for auto-balancing was displaying on the UI.
- "Key Bindings" is now "Button Mappings" for consistency.
Translations
- Additional translation work has been implemented for existing languages.
Connectivity
- A few edge case scenarios where you would otherwise fail to join a game session from the friends list or from resuming gameplay from other parts of the console have been corrected.
PS4 Specific
- An option has been added for PS4™ players to disable Hawken Party integration.
