- Sombrero Build 1.2.586 Notes - 27 February 2017
The following fixes and improvements have been added to Sombrero: Updated particle effects for most objects Steamworks SDK updated to the most recent (1.39) Fixed a glitch that could sometimes occur on Windows 10 where the screen could flash solid black for a single frame. This was an issue with the rendering framework used in the game, which has now been updated To smooth out gameplay on unreliable connections, if a Player is out of sync on peers in Online play, the game will attempt to animate the Player to the correct location instead of just teleporting them there Fixed letter spacing on some sprite fonts when at certain sizes Small bug fixes and other minor tweaks

- The Sombrero Build 1.2.26 Winter Sale Update Is Live! New Arena! - 22 December 2016
The STEAM Winter Sale is here and to celebrate SOMBRERO's reduced price (until January 2nd) we are rolling out a new update that is GOOD, not at all BAD and definitely not UGLY. Check out the details below! http://store.steampowered.com/app/472690/ NEW ARENA: Monasterio de los Muertos! Battle it out with other Players on this spooky, skull-shaped monastery. The bells cause all projectiles to ricochet, so be careful! If you have Neutral Ricochet turned on in the Match Customization screen, you can take yourself out! Updates: More optimization of collision code. Applied lossless compression to all tile images to load them into memory faster. This slightly reduces arena load time on most PCs. Those running the game from an SSD will see the most improvement (obviously). Changes: Changed the spawn location of some Bases in Capture the Flag based on community feedback. Respawn circle indicato…
