We’ve been collecting player feedback on DM these past few months and are introducing a few changes to address some of the main points of frustration around the spawning system:

• Removed and in some cases relocated “dangerous” spawn locations
• Improved spawn logic and spawn placement to increase the likelihood that you will be facing each other players in an encounter
• Spawning logic will now favor respawn locations farther away from where you are defeated
• Fixed an issue where the Warm-Up Phase was not using spawn logic properly
• Respawn Time Reduced: 3s >>> 1.5s

PERFORMANCE UPDATES- GLOBAL INVALIDATION

• Global Invalidation provides up to 15% improvement to baseline performance for CPU-bound players
  • CPU-bound players are generally mid-to-high spec machines.
  • These numbers are based on data gathered from PBE over two weekends (Jan. 22–23, and Feb. 5–6).
  • Although we expect a large portion of the player base to benefit from these gains, your machine’s performance may vary.

COSMETIC UPDATES

• Updates to the color of the tile used to display sprays in your Collections
  • Some sprays were too close to the color of the original tile and were hard to see properly before actually using them in-game.
• You can now respray after a 5-second cooldown
• Sprays now have a lifetime duration of 15 seconds (reduced from 30 seconds)
  • Sprays still disappear immediately when the barrier drops (mid-round begins) and when the post-round phase begins
  • The same restrictions on mid-round sprays apply (no Agent faces, animations, or airhorns—sorry we’re not sorry)
