We know you've been waiting and we thank you for your patience but the Billboard Contest has finally been decided! 

There were many great entries and we want to thank all who participated.  We are currently in the process of reaching out to the winners about handing out the rewards.  If you have not been contacted and see your entry on the announcement page please reach out here or on our Discord to the staff.

Overall winners can be seen here.

[Testing notes:]

Testing notes:

-Ensure that all tiers of challenge task forces offer expected rewards both for leader and team member

-Ensure that the same reward cannot be chosen in succession due to time lockouts

-Confirm that timed lockouts on rewards clear when appropriate time has passed

-Confirm that reward choices persist when ending the task force, leaving the task force, zoning, talking to other contacts, anything else you can think of

-Confirm that you get the expected weekly bonuses from completing the TFs the first time

-Confirm that the preset female electron costume looks as expected with matching pattern on torso

*Note that for all TFs except Barracuda you need to be in the final mission when it completes to get the reward table

Probably an issue in the code tracking power state, we'll look into it.  Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Hey Rebirth Players!  We're half-way through the Billboard Contest and we love your submissions.  Time is is flying by, but it isn't over.  There is still plenty of time to submit your art until December 30th.  It's your best opportunity yet to get your artwork into the game.

[Bug Fixes]

Bug Fixes

    -Fix to booty shorts in player costume data crashing some maps

    -Fixes for teleport cursor targeting:
        Increasing teleport cursor draw distance to reflect increased range
        Update conditions that permit backtracking search to avoid red reticles.

   - Fixes issues with face scale sliders in character creator and tailor
        fixes issue where randomized or preset faces never converge causing sliders to constantly return to previous location
        fixes issue where differences incurred by rounding for scale sliders mean that faces never match presets

   - Internal fix for calloc arguments.  Should have no outwardly visible affect.

The Doctor Farm Tank

We can get a GM to look at it.  We just had a discord support ticket just come in for the same issue, would this be for the same SG?

Writing up a guide to play the game on Mac has been my unicorn for a while now.  The problem I've run into time and again had to do with Apple dropping 32-bit support completely.  I'm hopeful that DX12 emulation would be the key to it all.  However I'm still keeping my eye out for any options as they become available.

All the files will have a specific structure to their name. 

Player#Maps#.vm

The first # is the individual character DB id,  So if your character was the 3rd actual toon created on rebirth that number will be 3.  However expect that number to be significantly higher.  You will need to match that number up to the character you want to change somehow.

The second # is the static map ID (back end identifier for the zone maps).  Those map IDs are hardcoded and do not change. 

All you have to do is go in and delete the zone map VM file for the character you want to "reset" the map on.

Hey there,

This isn't really a big or long write up but wanted to post this in a semi-permenant way for the widest possible visibility.  Recently we pushed a patch to our client to separate out our graphics local caching folder.  Directly this will have no real noticeable performance improvement but will help longterm reliability.  Previously the client would use a hard coded location to locally store its shader caching information.  This location was shared among all the COX servers, like us, Thunderspy, ect.  The problem would be potential unintended "cross talk" causing interference if one server made changes that another server wasn't set up to handle.  You may play on multiple servers and one of them may suddenly appear broken through no fault of their own. 

There should be no real need for you to worry about this or make any changes.  I just wanted to bring this up for your general awareness.  As a side note this may mean all your zone maps have reset and need to be uncovered again (because that stuff is stored locally in the cache folder). 

We will be monitoring this to ensure it does not cause any issues for the players. 

Thank you
