A week after its major interface update, Bloodrun has received another substantial patch. BUILD 2026-09-12 reworks mouse acceleration, adds more control over crosshairs and lag compensation, and expands Capture the Flag support – including bots that attack flags, escort teammates and intercept enemy carriers.

Main changes:
  • Mouse acceleration – Q3, IOQ3 and QL schemes now have independent settings, so switching between them no longer carries over values from another scheme. The new QL option includes a speed threshold, power and cap, with negative acceleration also supported. Zoom can use its own acceleration scheme or disable it entirely. A fix also stops the zoom sensitivity multiplier from affecting sensitivity outside zoom.
  • HUD and crosshairs – a new Duel scoreboard has been added, alongside ten interface-rendered crosshair shapes with adjustable size, colour and a separate hit colour. Each weapon can use a different crosshair shape. The settings menus now provide crosshair, speedometer, lagometer and netcode controls, plus acceleration curve previews. Voting opens over the match without interrupting play.
  • Lag compensation and hit prediction – players can enable server-side target rewinding separately for Machinegun, Shotgun, Lightning Gun and Railgun. Previously, it remained active regardless of the player's settings. Hit prediction is now disabled for weapons with lag compensation switched off, fixing the miss marker incorrectly appearing on every shot.
  • Capture the Flag – CTF can be selected from the menu with its own capture limit. Flag carriers can drop the flag using the ability button; they must wait two seconds before picking it up again, but teammates can collect it immediately. Picking up a flag cancels an active ability, while the team panel and scoreboard now support CTF and track progress towards the capture limit.
  • Bot behaviour – movement, item selection and pursuit have been reworked. Bots can interrupt a fight to collect useful items, including dropped weapons and ammunition, and return to item collection after losing sight of an opponent. Ultra Nightmare bots actively seek out opponents when behind on score. Bots also support CTF roles, and fixes address bot-related server crashes and hangs.

Bot navigation points have been added to eleven arenas. Arabian Nights replaces its Quake III Arena sounds with original audio; Bad Space gains steps near the lower Rocket Launcher and routes out of lava to help bots escape. On Venom, the two-crate jump from Red Armor to the upper level is easier, and the crates near Mega Health have been changed.

Other changes reduce the item pickup radius from 80 to 75 units, add support for BSP version 47 alongside version 46, and fix a client crash when setting the frame limiter below 30 FPS. The PLAY menu can now show either the game's arenas or all maps installed on disk.

The build is available from Google Drive and Yandex Disk. Players can try it on PTS MOSCOW 1, PTS MOSCOW 2 and PTS MOSCOW 3. The developers are particularly encouraging players to give the revised Ultra Nightmare bots another attempt.
