Parties
PC – Fixed an issue with online presence not updating properly which prevented players from joining and getting into games as a party. For example, if a player is invited to join a party but is already in one, you will receive a message stating ‘<Player Name> is already in a party. We expect more improvements in the next update as well.
Fixed an issue where parties dropped out after a match ended and were unintentionally sent back to the main menu
Added a visual indicator that someone in a party cannot be invited to another party
PC – If you are in a match and accept a party invite on PC, you will now be sent to the main menu to join the party
Fixed an issue where a party member was not brought into the game with the game leader when using the server browser
Accepting a party invite while in-game will no longer cover the disconnects prompt with the controls screen
The queue timer will no longer continue to countdown if ownership is transferred from the party leader after starting a matchmaking session
The party member icon will no longer disappear from the scoreboard after being in a party while loading another session from a prior one.
Set party voice playback to use same device output as the game audio
Party members will now see a voice indication in the UI for themselves and other party members when speaking
Performance
The Xbox Series S will now play at the intended 60 frames per second!
Fixed a performance issue where player corpses would negatively impact performance.
Improved overall performance during the Lionspire banner stage
Fixed some movement correction that happened while jumping
Combat/Weapons
Reduced players’ ability to significantly backwards drag before a swing
Fixed an issue where players visually sprinted sideways too much in third-person.
Active riposte and counter durations now continue for remaining duration if attack is feinted/transitions to heavy attack
Fixed attacking queuing issues, so players will now be able to more successfully initiate a follow up parry, attack, or dash
Kick/Jab/Special cooldown is now refreshed when entering Interrupting states
Fixed server movement corrections on dodging and jumping (caused visual jittering to occur for players)
Bandage kits no longer deal damage to teammates. Friendly archers are better at this already!
Fixed an issue where player could get stuck with fists and unable to attack after climbing ladder
Fixed an issue where initiating a combat action immediately after doing a VO line did not work. Get your taunts ready!
Fixed a bug with the Greatsword parry where player collision would not match their position when their parry was broken
Temporarily disabled 1 handed spear to rework animation sets and make it more readable
Added missing impact sounds and impact sparks
Added a cooldown when using a Kick into an attack
Fixed an issue where picking up a damaged constructible would cause it to be invulnerable next time it is placed
Animation
Visually fixed the players feet not moving during a jump and when landing a jump
Fixed sprint turn animation not being in sync between clients in third-person
Fixed animation popping in 1P/3P when cancelling attack into another attack
Fixed an animation break that occurred when attacking right after Parry recovery
Removed sliding that occurred when attacking while strafing forward in third-person
Fixed legs being stuck in idle while moving around and fighting
Fixed animation freezes after getting hit during a heavy slash feint to jab with a shield
Fixed server physics for interrupts not playing animations
Fixed animation stutters with combo to (alt) feint
Crashes/Disconnects
Fixed an Xbox crash that occurred when resuming from a suspended state (while on the Store menu), and when attempting to use save data from an Xbox One X console on an Xbox Series S console
Fixed a PS4/PS5 crash that occurred when loading into the tutorial

Fixed hair not adjusting to the characters head sizes
Fixed white/grey hair colour not being able to be equipped. (Malric’s grandmother could not be more excited!)

Maps

Fixed an issue where players sometimes missed the initial spawn at the start of a match
UI
Fixed server browser max player counts not displaying correctly

Party voice playback now uses same device output as the game audio
