Splitgate, a game deemed as a cross between Portal and Halo, has just received a new update. Highlights include support for Nvidia’s Reflex technology, stability improvements to voice chat, existing game modes added to Quick Play, and the return of the Karman Station map.
Mantling
The developers from 1047 Games added a new feature that lets you enable or disable ledge grabbing or “mantling.” This is a way for you to continue aiming at your targets without any interference whenever you are jumping toward a ledge.
This feature lowers the skill cap a little bit, but the good thing is you have the option to turn it on or off. In other words, you will still have full control.
Nvidia Reflex Support
For the uninitiated, Nvidia Reflex is a technology that helps you reduce input lag and system latency, providing you with a competitive edge against your opponents. That said, the devs have added support for this technology, which you can enable in the game’s settings.
Karman Station’s Making a Comeback
Not long ago, the Karman Station map was temporarily removed from the game because of poor optimization, which may result in random client crashes.
Folks at 1047 Games have re-implemented this, adding performance improvements and crash fixes so that the problems that plagued this map before no longer happen. You can expect the Karman Station back to the normal map rotation.
Voice Chat Fixed
A lot of people are frustrated that the in-game voice chat was shoddy as drop-outs would occur frequently. In a competitive game like Splitgate, this definitely needs to be addressed quickly. Do not worry as the latest update has fixed this on all platforms. Now, you can talk to your teammates without problems.
