- Steam Network Mode & Cost-Based VS Mode is out (v2.16)
- Hi all,
- Steam Network Mode has been out for a while now, and it has proven to be stable. Meanwhile, Cost Based VS Mode has just launched in LF2R v2.16.
- Since I did not post a full announcement for my previous update (v2.15), I have included the highlights for both updates below.
- V2.15:
- • Network Mode (Steam Network) is now available.
-  You no longer need to enter an IP address, set up port forwarding, or run a separate server program to play online with friends. Just create or join a lobby directly from the main menu.
- V2.16:
- • Network Mode (Steam Network) now supports up to 8 computers
- • Allow hiding (Shown as '?') Random characters in the game menu
- • Add 'Cost Based Mode' for VS games
-  – Each team has a shared Team Cost Pool.
-  – Each character has a fixed cost.
-  – When a character is defeated, the team cost pool is reduced.
-  – If cost remains (> 0), the character respawns. Otherwise, the entire team is defeated.
- • Add 'Time Limit' to VS and Championship modes
- • More Game Options, you can choose whether to allow:
-  – Item drops
-  – Transform (to LouisEX)
-  – Respawn Shuffle (Random character + Cost Based mode only)
- More details can be found in the in game update log.
- Hope you enjoy the updates. Thank you!
