We plan to inform soldiers of future schedules and development plans from time to time through social media announcements.
We ask for your continued and undivided attention to SUPER PEOPLE.

Server maintenance will be carried out on February 24, 08:30 - 10:30 KST

The patch notes are the following:

■ Maintenance Period:
❗ Feb 24 , 2022 08:30 – 10:30 (KST)
❗ Feb 23 , 2022 15:30 – 17:30 (PST)

■ Gameplay effects: Restricted game access
■ Maintenance goals:

1.Performance Improvements
- Improved LoD (Level of Detail) quality and performance for background meshes such as roads, vehicles, and foliage placed on Orb Island. Recommended and low-spec PC users will be able to enjoy a more stable gameplay with improved quality and performance.
- Reduced the amount of lighting data used to express the reflection of an object and changed its focus/placement on visually important places.
- Adjusted the placement of regional resources for optimal texture streaming. This reduces hitches that can occur when streaming textures of the playable world and loads resources more reliably.
- Tweaked meshes to utilize instancing for improved loading and rendering performance.

2. Level Design Improvements
- For butter smooth gameplay, terrain and objects that interfere with player movement have been improved.
- Lowered porch height of houses and buildings.
- While moving along the walls of the building, players had to jump due to high porches when trying to enter through the door. The height of the porches have been lowered for easier entry in buildings so players can focus more on urban warfare than maneuvering over small notches.
- e.g.)


- Modified the layout of interior props for more breathing room in buildings.
- Objects under the player’s feet or small items in narrow buildings could sometimes hinder player movement in gunfights. For fluid movement and gunfights, we have spaced out rooms by modifying props that obstruct player movement.
- e.g.)


- Fixed movement-limiting cover to accurately display its height.
- Some types of cover did not accurately display their perceived height. There were instances where players couldn’t jump over fences that looked jumpable. There were also doors that looked passable but required the player to crouch to go through. We have improved these types of covers so players can respond immediately even in tight battles.
- e.g.)


- Fixed steep areas around the cliffs.
- In the high mountains of the north and south, some terrain were too steep to walk/run on. Improved terrain near cliffs to be visually distinguishable as non-walking/running terrain.
- Removed several crevices of cliff rocks to prevent players from being stuck.
- e.g.)


3. Item Spawns
- Increased the amount of item spawns by 20% in buildings where player farming efficiency was hindered by the twists and turns in landmark buildings.
- e.g.) Increased item spawn rate of the mansion in the “Abandoned Mansion” area.
- Reduced the probability of items spawning on narrow balconies. In return, the spawn rate has been increased by the reduced amount in main houses and buildings.

4. Bug Fix
- Fixed an issue where the character model of an ally who had revived the player was not visible under certain circumstances.

All the best, Super People Team.

Thanks to all the attention from our Super Soldiers during the Global CBT,
we had to switch to a much more streamlined CBT application process.

But as the Global CBT is drawing to a close, we have chosen to limit the number of new participants,
to be able to continue providing a stable service.

From Feb. 21st (KST), we will be randomly selecting new testers out of the participant application pool,
but testers will still be able to invite their friends and issue steam keys.

We will be polishing our game by finalizing balance adjustments, error fixes, optimizations, and improving anti-cheat measures,
so that we will be able to bring you the best SUPER PEOPLE to date for Early Access.

Please refer to the following for changes made to the CBT application process as of February, 21 (KST).
* Current participants of the Global CBT may continue playing as normal.

All the best, Super People Team.

Greetings Soldiers.

The Global CBT will come to a close on 14:00 KST, Feb. 28.

It’s been a long, long run.

We had received much more attention and love than anticipated during our extended three-month period for our CBT. Racking up to 4 million consecutive downloads, we want to thank our soldiers all around the globe for making this happen.

The journey wasn’t all sunshine and roses though. There were some bumps here and there along the way and the road was never a smooth one.

Despite all this, we haven’t come up here empty-handed. Based on our internal data and player feedback we’ve collected the following data/statistics to guide us on our future game development and operations.

1. Class/ Weapon Balance
2. Skill Based Match Making
3. Server Stability (Game Crashes, Lag)
4. Game Optimization
5. Multi-Lingual In-Game Text
6. Illegal Third-Party Programs
7. Bugs/Glitches
8. AI/Bots for Newer Players
9. FPP Mode
10. Squad Balance

We personally had our ups and downs too.

While we were able to greatly improve Server Stability through consecutive patches, our response to Illegal Third-Party programs was slightly lacking to provide a completely fair and clean gaming environment. HWID and cellphone number bans were effective to some point but were not complete deterrents for players who decided to cheat.

However, interactive players were a great asset when providing detailed reports on illegal third-party program users. We promise that this valuable data will be evaluated thoroughly and become the backbone of our anti-cheat system.

In the future, we will take action on illegal third-party program providers and users to foster a better gaming environment. A better anti-cheat program is in the pipework as well.

In the end, one thing that remains clear is that we are devoted to providing the best gaming experience possible to our soldiers. This is no easy task, and we can tell you we feel the weight of responsibility on our shoulders. But we will progress forward and thank all soldiers for enjoying and playing the game.


We’ll be seeing you real soon.
