Ubisoft rolled out a minor update to address crossplay and party invite issues. As for susbtantial gameplay changes that’s coming at a later date.
Following the update today, XDefiant executive producer Mark Rubin confirmed that there will be another patch next week dedicated to bunny hopping, sniper, and hit registration changes. Rumors suggested that there would be major movement changes in Season 1, but in reality there will just be an aiming sway penalty added for jumping too many times in a row consecutively.
As for snipers, Ubisoft plans on adding more flinch to the weapons so it’s harder for the weapons to hit their shots. Finally, a segment of the player base has claimed that “‘terrible” hit detection is XDefiant’s biggest problem, and that’s scheduled to get addresses as well. But for now, Ubisoft just rolled out a few minor backend changes.
XDefiant June 4 update patch notes
Here are the full XDefiant June 4 update patch notes.
Social
- While in a party, we now display the most restrictive Crossplay setting among the party members, as it applies to the whole party. Also fixed an issue where party members with differing Crossplay settings couldn’t matchmake.
- Fixed an issue with displaying incorrect player names on some Social screens.
- Fixed a crash caused by spamming open/close View Party Invites, but who would even do that, calm down.
- On consoles, Ubisoft Connect party invites could display as if they were coming from Xbox or PlayStation Network friends. Fixed that, along with some other weird invite-related things.
Miscellaneous
- Fixed some missing terrain textures when players joined matches in progress on some maps.
- Input-Based Matchmaking setting status now updates correctly after changing it on Xbox.
- Fixed a thing on PS5 where people could sneak into places they shouldn’t via PS5 Activities.
- Security improvements, various.
