3.06 Patch 9 is now live. The game updates itself the next time you start it; Steam and Oculus update as usual.
Changes in 3.06 Patch 9
1. Fixed the short freeze about every 10 minutes in the DirectX 11 version!! Thanks to everyone who tested and sent in their files.
2. Clearer voice chat: voice now uses the Opus codec, clearer and fuller at the same bandwidth. Arena admins pick the codec with the new VoiceCodec arena setting (Opus is the default).
3. Easier voice setup: one microphone volume slider, Auto Mic Volume to set the level for you, and a Test Mic button so you can hear yourself before you fly.
4. Email confirmation by link: new accounts and email changes are confirmed by clicking the link in the email, on your PC or your phone, instead of typing a code. Forgot Password works the same way: click the link and the game asks for your new password.
5. Changing your password or email now needs you to be logged in, and your saved login follows the change. A show-password (eye) button lets you check what you typed, and a wrong password now points you to Forgot Password.
6. Film viewer: films now export as MP4 video with sound (engines, guns, hits and voice), in step with the picture: much smaller files that play anywhere.
7. Film viewer: no longer runs out of memory on films with the large cockpit textures.
8. Pages in the game's browser have bigger buttons, and Back, Forward and H work as they should. Closing the game with a page open no longer causes an error.
9. Cockpit gauge fixes, including warning lamps that could show the wrong frame, and a possible crash in the DirectX 9 version.
10. Fixed some buttons that didn't look right, such as Ctrl, Alt and the space bar on the Key Map.
11. Flight setup: tool tips for Auto Engage Autopilot and Display Control Position.
12. Voice chat is better protected against bad voice data.
The help pages for the new account and voice screens are updated too.
