  • Added a new master server to enable online play (Ubisoft went offline in 2016)
  • Fixed “Instas” where grenades explode before they should

  • Increased frame timing stability and reduced input lag
  • Added a new mouse input system:
    • High polling rate mouse support
    • No negative acceleration
    • Fine control over mouse sensitivity (via console commands)
  • Added widescreen support for up to 16:9 monitors (without stretched 3D)
  • All resolutions your monitor supports are now selectable in-game
  • Fixed rendering bugs (e.g. Merc flashlight)
  • Fixed spies rubberbanding when getting shot (due to the adrenaline speed boost)
  • Fixed sticky cameras sometimes not firing when spies are in motion

Extended change log

Game Fixes
  • Fixed bug where the higher your frame rate, the more the sniper scope bounces up and down (left/right movement is not fixed yet)
  • Makes the sniper kick consistent. Some players would have experienced 10x more kick than others before
  • Fixes bug where Spies sometimes cannot jump over objects when running at high FPS
  • Fixes coop bug where coop moves fail at high FPS
  • Fixes bug where grenades appear to drop at the Merc’s feet (was caused by lag or host running at over 2x your frame rate)
  • Fixes bug where some soft body actors (e.g. hanging fabric) would move forever once disturbed (was much worse at high FPS)
  • Fixed high FPS bug where screen shake would last far longer than it should
  • Fixes bug where some players had no ambient noise
  • The game no longer runs too fast when alt tabbed. This was causing all sorts of bugs when hosting
Graphics
  • Includes d3d8to9 to add Gsync/Freesync support
  • Allows Merc first person FOV to be configured via command line (you cannot go above 112)
  • Improves model rendering quality at distance
  • Fixes animated textures running too fast at high FPS. At 100+ FPS they appeared to be flickering
  • Fixes bug where the screen flickers repeatedly during profile selection/game launch
Networking
  • Added UPnP port forwarding for easy hosting
  • Server list lets you know if you cannot join a game because they’re running a different version of the game (enhanced/stock)
  • When searching for LAN games, a packet is now sent the Reloaded Master server to request games and retrieves internet games
    • Display when a new minor (optional) version of Reloaded is available
    • Display when a new major version of Reloaded is available
  • When hosting, a registration packet is sent to the Reloaded Master server once per minute to advertise your server
    • Common hosting errors/warnings are displayed in the chat box
    • Display when a new minor (optional) version of Reloaded is available
    • Display when a new major (mandatory) version of Reloaded is available and prevent the server being listed
  • Automatically configures your game with network settings which should support hosting at up to 165 FPS
Input
  • Adds a separate sensitivity control for cameras (e.g. sticky cams)
  • Mouse setting has been removed from GUI options and moved to console commands
  • Fixes bug where if you move your mouse too fast, the game ignores your movement
New console commands
  • fps_client <number>: Set client FPS between 30 and 240. Currently 165 and below is recommended due to the merc sniper sway which is only partly fixed
  • fps_host <number>: FPS limit whilst hosting
  • widescreen <True/False>: applies widescreen aspect ratio fix
  • ws_fov: Caps widescreen field of view for people who are sensitive to motion sickness. The default is 105.0 which gives a similar experience to many modern FPS games, but settings up to 112.0 will increase Merc FOV
  • sens <number>: Mouse sensitivity during gameplay
  • sens_cam <number>: Mouse sensitivity for cam network and sticky cams
  • sens_menu <number>: Mouse sensitivity in menus
  • quit: Exit the game
  • help: Display all available commands
SCCT_Versus.config settings
  • force_max_refresh_rate: Forces your game to run at your monitor’s maximum refresh rate. Prevents bug where your game would flicker repeatedly during launch
  • labs_borderless_fullscreen: Experimental feature. Your game will be stuck in the top left corner if you don’t use your monitor’s native resolution
  • security_dep: Recommended security feature to improve safety whilst playing online
  • security_acg: Advanced security feature which may be incompatible with certain software like OBS, so should normally be kept off
  • sticky_camera_fix: Stops viewing previous sticky cam/exiting when attempting to fire a new camera. This entirely removes the context menu, so you will need to use the previous camera bind
  • override_console_key: Changes the key to open the console to the number to the left of 1
  • lod: Determines how far away models become lower quality. The stock game uses 1.0
  • list_on_reloaded_master_server: Setting to false stops your server from being added to the Reloaded master server list. Wait 1 minute after turning this off to be sure the previous registration has expired
  • server_list: Specify IP:PORT of servers which aren’t on the master server. Do not add a , after the last IP:PORT you specify. Example: 
    "server_list": ["127.0.0.1:7776","192.168.0.1:7776"],
  • host_port_query: Port used to respond to ping requests on the server list. Warning: settings other than 7776 will prevent players from joining via LAN/Radmin
  • host_port_game: Port used when players join your server
  • host_upnp: Use UPnP to automatically port forward your game. UPnP needs to be enabled on your router to use this feature
  • flashlight_rendering_fix: Fixes rendering issues with lighting (e.g. the Merc flashlight)
  • client_port_query: Port used to send ping requests to servers. Warning: settings other than 7776 will prevent you from joining LAN/Radmin games
  • alternate_frame_timing_mode: May improve frame pacing on some systems, at the expense of increased CPU usage. Most people want this off
Miscellaneous
  • Enables Data Execution Protection (DEP) by default to enhance online protection
  • Adds Arbitrary Code Guard (ACG) as an optional security measure (requires deleting d3d8.dll and not using external capture software)
  • Changes the key to open the console to Tilde/backtick (the normal key)
  • Changes console font to something legible
Launcher
  • Opens SCCT_Versus.ex and triggers the in-memory patching process
  • Warns you if not installed in the correct location
  • If using the Ubisoft Connect version of SCCT, will prompt you to run the setup script if you haven’t
