Patch 0.4 Notes. Will be live evening March 22nd.

• Added in-game chat functionality, chat is sent by pressing Y and team chat is sent be pressing U. (still a minor issue: if you hit enter w/o having typed anything in it, you may get stuck. Hit Y/U again and retype message if that happens)
• Fixed random crash occurring when AI revives other AI.
• Tweaked buffalo rifle damage, FOV for scope and deputy carbine ammo.
• Crash fix for quick match joining.
• Fixed defend icon on keg carrier when playing greed mode. (This fix caused another issue though. Greed is a bit broken. Pickup icon will not disappear once sack is picked up,)
• Fixes for the Lobby Chat Lobby chat issues:
o Added limit to the number of characters that can be typed to prevent messages from being cut off when posting
o Removed short lag between when you press Enter to send and when it is actually posted
o Fixed cut off names
o Highlighted player names
o Written input is automatically entered in the message field and it is posted upon pressing Enter
• Kills are removed from match scoreboard to have player focusing on EXP.
• Removed Gatling message when Gatling is in use by other players.
• Fixed the issue with Powder Kegs being identified as Gold sacks in Robbery in Devil’s Pit.
• Fixed issues with objective marker in Greed/Robbery.
• Fixed issues with some of the shaders.
• Fixed issues with characters getting stuck in trait animation when ALT-TAB out of application.
• Fixed issue: If a deputy died while tag-aiming, tag-reticle and red outlines being left on screen.
• Fixed two crashes related to the carrying of objects.
• Added Blood to the German version of the game (USK thinks we are a lost cause anyway )
• Fixed issues with units not being pre-loaded and thus causing frame rate issues.
• Fixed crash occurring at extreme lag when picking up a keg the same frame it exploded.
• Fixed crash occurring randomly when opening menu while in game.
• Moved the drop off flag close to the blue spawn, since it was blocking the path when running from blue spawn.
• When getting revived from KD, you now switch to main weapon automatically, unless you fire directly with your secondary.

So at what time will this be released? unless it's already released then just ignore this silly reply.

No more graphics options? D:! And by how much are the deputy and trapper tweaked?

Hi!
Thanks for the info on the patch. Looking forward to it!

Could you give us some more information about that? I own the German version but I have not been warned that I will have less violence. I get a warning when buying other games that have been cut for the German market.

As there was never any mention about a watered down German version I bought this game myself and did not get it as a gift from outside of Germany (which I could have gotten if I knew about this).

So is it correct that from patch 0.4 on there will be no difference regarding blood&gore from German to other versions of the game?

Sorry to make such a big deal out of it but it is an important issue for me.

Please add kills back to the leader board I dont focus on kills but like knowing how many I have.

YES! That sounds interesting~


Is the buffalo rifle now able to always KD people with 1 shot (I don't mind if it isn't able to against an enemy with a really High LVL Blaster Synergy, but at least basically)?

So the new patch is all awesome. There's text chat now (altho not perfect) and we fixed several bugs. But one persistent bug remained which we will fix tomorrow. Namely the crash when an achievement is unlocked.

Some users suggest that running the game as an administrator might solve the problem. Navigate to your "Steam\steamapps\common\lead and gold gangs of the wild west"-directory and right click lag_win32_release.exe. Click the compatability tab and click the checkbox allowing the game to be run with administrator settings.

Sorry for the inconvenience this may cause and thank your for your patience.

"Kills are removed from match scoreboard to have player focusing on EXP."

I couldn't help but notice this. People are not going to like this, I am afraid. And what about in Shootout?

You don't even need to know how many kills you have in shootout, since the score is the sum of all kills on your team.

I do need to know, it's a simple statistic that most people that play online shooters MUST know.
