Line War News

We are gradually moving towards a more stable matchmaking process. Thank you for your patience and understanding, we are working with all of our focus to resolve the matchmaking issues since the big network upgrade.

We've had a shaky release of the new network code. We're releasing improvements to some of the issues but we may continue to have some issues on Friday.

This fix improves the durability of the matchmaking and increases logging for further improvements.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Fixed cloud replay download URL.

Version 34.8

This is released as a minor version but behind the scenes we have done a major upgrade to replace the entire netcode and Unity version. This should hopefully provide a more stable connection for those who have experienced occasional timeouts.

Changes:

• New network transport library (total replacement)
  
• New cloud-based replays (no need to wait for replay download after a match, replays are automatically available after a match)
  
• New connections indicator showing if a connection is unstable
  
• New "Create/Join Lobby" feature, you can create a lobby and copy/paste the name for someone else to join
  
• Improved chat, you can chat cross-scenes in Select World, Game, and End Screen with chat history and timestamps.
  
• Performance improvements for modern GPUs
  

We're happy to announce the first official Line War Tournament to be held 18-19 June 2022.

Details can be found here: https://wiki.linewar.com/wiki/Tournaments

In short, it's a 32 player tournament with invitations sent from the top of the leaderboard to players that have played 30 or more matches. On 18 June there is a group stage, and on 19 June there will be a double-elimination final stage.

We're excited to also stream matches and publish post-tournament videos with commentary from many of the matches. It should be a lot of fun for participators and spectators alike =)
