im still having issues downloading the new patch.
 

please help thanks

Everything looks awesome exept for the sound idk about others but when i get shot a loud pop happens and hurts my ears and my speakers even on the lowest setting before mute...

Hey guys,

Over the past few months we’ve added some big features to CrimeCraft, from the 32-player map Delosville and Clubs to Free to Play and tournaments. We’ve also made a lot of smaller changes to address issues brought up by our users and make CrimeCraft more fun for all of our players.

Today, I can tell you that we’ve got an update in the works that surpasses all of the others in scope and content, but it’s a long-term project that won’t likely make it to your PCs until this fall. In the meantime, this next update is all about you. We are focusing in hard on player requests and bug fixes for June.

The first change I want to tell you about is a request that came directly from our most dedicated tournament players. For the Daily and Weekly Tournaments, teams will now be placed in brackets by the highest level team member instead of the average level of the team. This means a level 50 can still team with three level 30s, but they will be placed in Division 1.

Here are some of the other changes and fixes you can expect to see in the June update:

* UI/Game Lag improvements – We are optimizing the servers to eliminate lag when searching the auction house, using the mail system and when the crafting tab is open
* Gang Production – Gang production time is being reduced and rewards increased
* Game Freezes – Game freezes during crafting fixed
* Mini-Map Errors – Blacked out Mini-Maps fixed

There’s also a number of smaller fixes going in that we’ll detail in the patch notes.

Another popular request we’ve received is for customizable matches with player-controlled limits on weapons or the number of players. We are working on a design for this, but it will not be implemented in time for the June update. At this time there are server load issues that make implementation less than optimal, but the team is considering a number of options to give players more control over their matches.

Private matches and spectator mode also are popular requests, but these are server resource hogs that also will not be implemented in the short term. We have placed these features on our “to do” list, but at this time we can’t commit to a date for implementation.

The changes that are targeted for June are essential to the overall health and stability of CrimeCraft, but trust me when I say that we’ve got some exciting features coming later this summer and into the fall that are going to expand the story of Sunrise City and let you write your name in blood across the skyline! Metaphorically speaking, because if it was literal that would be a little gross.
