This is a minor hotfix to resolve a quick-to-fix crash that was able to be diagnosed and fixed as a result of the crash reporter that was added in the previous patch. It also resolves a couple gameplay issues that crept into the previous patch. NOTE: If you are hosting your own dedicated server, your server will stop appearing in the server list until you shut it down, let Steam patch Formicide, and restart the server.

This patch resolves several client crashes and hangs, as well as a bug hosting the server through the client. There are several map and balance updates included as well. NOTE: If you are hosting your own dedicated server, your server will stop appearing in the server list until you shut it down, let Steam patch Formicide, and restart the server. We have also received reports from several players attempting to launch Formicide and reaching a black screen or seeing an "out of range" error message. A fix for this will be coming in the next patch. We wanted to get fixes for the crashes and hangs a

Formicide has hit 1.0! Gameplay Updates Added a tutorial window explaining the game objective that's shown when joining a server or a new match starts. Updated the respawn timer. Players are now spawned every 3 seconds, by default 7-9 seconds after they die. If their team controls no beacons, the time is reduced by 3 seconds. If their team has more players than the other team, the time is increased by 3 seconds. The new system reduces the min time by 5 seconds and the max time by 8 seconds from the old system. Added "Top Kills" and "Beacon Champ" awards via overhead banners at the end of match

UI Updates Players are now shown a team selection window to choose which team to play on after joining a server by default. A team can only be joined if it doesn't currently have more players than the other team. See the Server Manager Updates section for more details. Added a new hotkey to change teams. Like changing classes, this can be used either while dead, or while standing in the home base at full life. Can also be used while the class selection window is open. Default binding is T. Added a "Host Server" button to the server list menu. Clicking it launches the Formicide dedicated server

That's right. Very soon, Formicide will be completely free. Does this mean new classes or maps need to be purchased? No. It will be completely free. There's nothing to purchase. The game is just free. Why are we doing this? We feel that this is the best thing to do for the game. We originally set out to make a game that people could enjoy playing with their friends. Over the years of its development, we've come to decide that removing all barriers to entry for everyone is a critical part of achieving that dream. When are we doing this? Very soon. What about players who already bought the game?
