Chivalry 2 News

Good morrow, knights! A minor hotfix (2.10.2) has been released with new anti-cheat protections.

[h2]General[/h2]

• Updated anti-cheat security on all platforms.
  

As our 2.10.1 Hotfix notes mentioned, our team has been working hard on this next stage of anti-cheat protection for Chivalry 2. This security update will help stop users who have been bypassing our anti-cheat protections and add further tools our moderation team can use to address cheaters and their multiple accounts.

We believe this security update will help curb the use of cheats within Chivalry 2, although we know there may still be outliers that bypass even the new protection. Not to worry; our staff and moderation team will be on hand working hard to address any future tickets and reports regarding cheaters.

If you believe you have encountered a user in-game who may be cheating, here are some steps to report them.

[h3]How to report a suspected cheater:[/h3]

In-Game Reporting:

• Open the in-game scoreboard.
  
  • Xbox Button: Menu Button > Scoreboard
    
  • PS Button: Start Button > Scoreboard
    
  • PC Key: TAB
    
• Navigate the scoreboard till you find the offending user.
  
• Select the user and use the "Report" option.
  

ChivMail Reporting:

• To Access the ChivMail bot you'll need to join our Official Discord.
  
  • ChivMail can be found on the top right of the User List once you've entered the Discord.
    
  
• Use either a screen capping software or an HD mobile device to capture video of the suspected user.
  
• Attach this video in a message to the ChivMail Bot on Discord in addition to the suspected user's in-game username.
  
  • Videos should be around 30 seconds long and clearly show the suspected user using in-game cheats if possible. (If the video is too large for Discord, it can be uploaded unlisted onto a streaming platform like Youtube)
• This will start a ticket on the topic that our moderators can respond to if additional information is needed.
  
• Additional Step for EGS / Steam Users - Acquire the user's PlayerID:
  
  • Open the console by pressing ( ~ ) or ( NUMPAD - ) (If your console does not open, you may have to "Enable developer console" in GAME SETTINGS) (Rebindable in the setting if necessary)
  • Type the command "listplayers" and hit ENTER (This copies the player list to your clipboard)
    
  • Open any Word processing application (Notepad, Microsoft Word, etc) and press CTRL + V to paste the player list.
    
  • Find the offending player's name and ID # and include them in your ChivMail report. (For example - Username - 12AB34CD56EF78GH)

Patch Troubleshooting:
For any users receiving the "Easy Anti-Cheat is not installed." Launch Error: please attempt to validate your game files.

Good morrow, knights! A minor hotfix (2.10.1) has been released with crucial bug fixes.

[h3]General[/h3]

• Fixed a bug that caused a player to be disconnected from a server when spawning at particular points on the Duelyard map.
  
• Fixed a bug with the skill-based team balance feature that did not correctly allocate players between attack and defense.
  
• Fixed a bug that prevented some players from being banned correctly from Unofficial Servers.
  

Now that the skill-based team balancing feature has been fixed, it will also be re-enabled for all platforms once this Hotfix has gone live. Although this Hotfix was smaller, we wanted to address these more pressing bugs first while our team continues to work on fixes for our other known issues.

We have also contributed significant time towards further testing the next layer of anti-cheat we mentioned in our Community Blog.
While we test this next stage in the fight against cheaters, we will continue to act against those who bypass our protections to cheat within Chivalry, promote cheats, encourage the use of cheats to others, or break our Code of Conduct in any additional ways.

Today, we wanted to address more frequently asked questions regarding the newly added Unofficial Servers with Nitrado to keep players in the loop as we work on improvements.

Torn Banner Studios and Nitrado are dedicated to making Unofficial Servers the best experience possible for the Chivalry 2 Player Base.

[h3]Why is my server having unstable performance?[/h3]

• Since the release of Unofficial Servers, we’ve been tracking the community response very closely. After observing many reports and matches, it’s clear that small matches are performing nicely. Yet, as the scale of participating players increases, the server’s performance decreases for all involved. We understand that this performance degradation has made genuine 64-player matches difficult, and the issues have disproportionately affected those spending the most to host a server. We hear you and are working hand in hand with Nitrado to resolve these problems as soon as possible.
  

[h3]Why don’t Unofficial Servers offer Gold or XP?[/h3]

• At launch, we chose not to have Unofficial Servers provide Gold or XP as the potential for server hosts and players to abuse the system was relatively high. We want Gold, especially XP, to signify your time and dedication to Chivalry 2. Our team is looking into how we can prevent this potential abuse and at the opportunity of bringing Gold and XP to Unofficial Servers in some capacity in the future.
  

[h3]Why are all servers capped at 1GB of RAM?[/h3]

• Per Nitrado, The visual presentation of RAM usage is dynamic and covers the upper range of the graph. The RAM limit is not capped at 1GB. The game server gets as much RAM as needed. The hard limit is beyond the scope of what a Chivalry 2 server will ever require to guarantee the quality of the game experience for all customers.
  

[h3]How was the pricing for Unofficial Servers determined?[/h3]

• Initial prices for Unofficial Servers were set with the guidance of Nitrado and the resources needed to support up to 64 players on a single server. We’ll be working with Nitrado to see if the opportunity to offer future sales is possible.
  

[h3]Were Unofficial Servers stress-tested before launch?[/h3]

• Yes, Unofficial Servers were stress-tested before launch. Although we did all we could internally, it wasn’t feasible for us to match the scale that has been able to be achieved once the feature went live to the public player base. A larger scale has revealed specific bugs and problems we are working to improve.
  

[h3]What protections are available around DDOS attacks?[/h3]

• Our first FAQ states that Nitrado servers all come with basic DDOS protections. We’ve already implemented an extra layer on top of the basic DDOS Protections and are continuing to explore additional server protections. These are expected after Update 2.10 since they will take longer to implement on the development side.
  

[h3]Will Torn Banner work with other server providers for Unofficial Servers?[/h3]

• Both Torn Banner Studios and Nitrado are dedicated to improving the Unofficial Server experience with the help of players and their feedback. At this time, we don’t plan to host Unofficial Chivalry 2 servers through partners other than Nitrado.
  

[h3]Why can’t we rent a US Central server?[/h3]

• Currently, US Central is not a region that Nitrado natively supports. At the moment, Nitrado has yet to share any plans to add US Central servers, but we have passed on the community feedback that US Central servers would be appreciated. We have been and continue to communicate with them regarding this request.
  

[h3]Why can’t we skip maps in Unofficial Servers?[/h3]

• Our primary command to skip maps has some instability tied to it that we are currently looking into. Therefore, we are exploring alternate commands to make available to server admins that could fill a similar role while we work on improving the stability of the primary command. We’ll let the community know through our Official Social channels if additional commands become available.
  

[h3]Can we get the opportunity to purchase a higher tick-rate server?[/h3]

• Complete confidence in a tick rate change option would require game-wide testing on all modes, maps, and all possible player counts. With community concerns already around server stability, we consider this outside of scope at this time.
  

[h3]Why are TO objectives set at 10 minutes for each phase by default?[/h3]

• We didn’t have an opportunity to complete the review of all stage times across all maps before the release of unofficial servers, as most of the time dedicated to this feature was devoted to adding it as an option. When time permits, we’ll look to set up default times in the Nitrado web interface. In the meantime, this information is available via our FAQ.
  

[h3]Known Bugs around Unofficial Servers we are investigating:[/h3]

• Servers showing capped at 1GB Ram
  
• Inability to kick/ban some users
  
• Man At Arms spawning without primary weapons in LTS
  

We’d also like to assure players that we continue working on resolutions for many of the known bugs we announced after the release of Update 2.10. We’ll be sure to let players know right away once we have a Hotfix on its way!

The Duel of the Fêtes Update (2.10) is now available on all platforms for Chivalry 2!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Chivalry 2’s Fête For All Update introduces Unofficial Server Support, Skill-Based Team Balance, Three Free-For-All maps - Frozen Wreck, Bazaar and Duel Yard, a Team Deathmatch Map - Frozen Wreck, Region Selection, quality of life improvements and more. Read on below.

Want to play only Brawl with your friends and nothing else? This is the place to go!

Want to know more? Check out our Unofficial Server FAQ!

With the release of unofficial servers, our standalone duel servers will become social spaces. It will be up to the players how they use these spaces, therefore we will no longer be actively moderating for “RDM” (Random Death Match Instances i.e. attacking players randomly like you would in the free-for-all gamemode). Players must still however comply with our Code of Conduct and ToS.

[h2]New Major Feature - Skill Based Team Balancing[/h2]

Teams will now balance players with an algorithm derived from global rank before the start of a given match. Once balanced, players will be unable to switch teams unless in the event of unbalanced player counts or when switched automatically by the game to maintain team balancing parameters.

The following modes will have Skill Based Team Balancing enabled:

• 64 Player Team Objective (Matchmaking Queue)
  
• 40 Player Mixed Modes (Matchmaking Queue)
  
• Last Team Standing (Limited Time Queue and Standalone Servers)
  

This feature is currently not available for 3v3 Arena and Unofficial Servers, but we are exploring the option to add it in the future.

Additional Notes:
This feature was designed to help balance the start of a match, while still maintaining tight restrictions post-balancing around team size discrepancies. It behaves differently than a Skill Based Matchmaking system that would create entire lobbies of similarly skilled players ultimately requiring a much larger scope of work and introducing more risk. Due to the size of most of our lobbies, it made more sense for us to apply the balancing within the match itself.

Just before a match begins after all players have loaded in, the server will perform a shuffle taking into consideration players' global ranks as well as their premade parties before assigning them a team. The system is built to prioritize parties staying together. The balance algorithm in use is not solely trying to achieve a 1:1 balance according to global rank.

After the shuffle is complete, teams must not create an imbalance of more than 1 player at any one time, or Team Switching will be restricted. For example: if there are two teams of 16 players and one player in spectate, that player can swap to either team as the new numbers would be 17 vs 16 (an imbalance of 1). But if there is a team of 17 and a team of 16, the player in spectate will be unable to swap to the team of 17, as that would create 18 vs 16 (an imbalance of 2).

Both 64 and 40-player matches in the server browser remain unaffected by this new feature as they are currently treated as a more social space for playing Team Objective and Team Deathmatch.

[h2]New Feature - Region Selection[/h2]

Players will now have the option to select their Matchmaking region of preference. This option is available in the Game Options menu. 

The following selections are available:

• North America West
  
• North America Central
  
• North America East
  
• South America West
  
• West Europe
  
• London
  
• Paris
  
• East Oceania
  
• East Asia
  
• South Korea
  
• Japan
  

Please note that matchmaking search time and latency may be impacted depending on the region selected.

Blocking

• Adjusted backstab angle checks to be more consistent

With the recent announcement of Unofficial Servers coming with Update 2.10, we wanted to take some time to go over some frequently asked questions regarding Unofficial servers and the creativity they could entail, but also the limitation included with their implementation.

[h3]What can I name my server?[/h3]

We would like you to name your server whatever you like! As long as it complies with the following:

• Your server may not have “official” in the server name, or be made to imply it is a TBS Official Server in any capacity.
  
• Your server must comply with our ToS and Code of Conduct policies.
  
• No verbal abuse, racism, sexism, politics, religion, or inappropriate messages.
  
• No inappropriate or adult conversations or links.
  

[h3]How can I reserve an Unofficial Server?[/h3]

Official details can be found on Nitrado’s hosting webpage: [This webpage will be linked once Update 2.10 launches]

After the launch of Update 2.10 there will also be an in-game button marked “Rent A Server” in the Standalone Server menu that will take you to the same webpage.


[h3]What is the recommended player count? (By Game Mode)[/h3]

Unofficial Servers allow players to customize their Chivalry experience in the way that they want. This freedom however is not without its risks.

When creating a match list, please reference the recommended player counts for each game mode. Deviating from this is allowed but can adversely affect the player experience and cause severe bugs (such as players not being able to spawn or crashing players out).

• Team Objective (TO): 2-64 Players (2-52 if horses are enabled)
  
• Team DeathMatch (TDM): 2-64 Players (2-52 if horses are enabled)
  
• Last Team Standing (LTS): 2-64 Players
  
• Free For All (FFA): 2-40 Players
  
• Brawl: 2-40 Players
  
• Last Peasant Standing: 2-40 Players
  
• Volley: 2-40 Players
  

[h3]What settings can I customize?[/h3]

We offer a number of settings to tailor your experience how you like, including:

• Playercount
  
• Map List
  
• Admin List
  
• Ban List
  
• Custom Password (Optional)
  
• Custom Class/Subclass Limits
  
• Custom Match/Stage Length
  
• Custom Match Score (TDM/FFA)
  
• Custom Warmup Length
  
• Horse Toggle (Applies globally to maps with horse functionality built in)
  
• Votekick Parameters
  
• Out of Combat Zone Toggle
  
• Camera Mode Toggle (First Person, Third Person, No Limit)
  

[h3]Can I create a server with 64 players plus horses?[/h3]

For stability reasons, servers with horses selected will be capped at 52 players at a time.

[h3]Are Unofficial servers cross-platform?[/h3]

Yes, Unofficial servers are cross-platform.

[h3]What DDOS Protections are available on my server?[/h3]

Nitrado Servers all come with basic DDOS Protections on their servers. In addition, we are exploring additional protections for users post Update 2.10.

[h3]Can I set multiple admins on Unofficial servers?[/h3]

Yes, the server owner can allow multiple trusted users to help admin their server.

[h3][PC Only Feature] What permissions do admins have on Unofficial servers?[/h3]

• "KickById",
  
• "BanById",
  
• “UnbanById”
  
• "adminsay",
  
• "serversay",
  
• "ADDBOTS",

Although we’d love for both Xbox/Playstation and PC Server Admins to have the same level of permissions within their server, without access to the in-game console these commands are unable to be performed if you aren’t playing on PC.

[h3]How does banning work on Unofficial servers?[/h3]

Admins can ban a player through the admin ban command (see above) and unban through the related unban command. If server owners wish to remove a ban on a player, it is their discretion to remove that player from the ban list.

Global game bans that have been applied by moderators/staff indirectly apply to Unofficial servers, as banned players cannot play Chivalry 2 in any capacity during their ban.

NOTE: Currently there is no total list of players banned visually to the player, so if server owners would like to keep track of which accounts they have banned they will have to do so independently. This may change in the future.

NOTE: It is completely within the discretion of the server owner who they want to ban for whatever reason. These bans are local to the Unofficial server and cannot be appealed to our Moderators or Torn Banner Studios unless there is evidence of wrongdoing that breaks our ToS.

[h3]Can RDMs (Random Death Match) be reported to Chivmail?[/h3]

No, it is up to the discretion of the server owner to moderate their servers. 

[h3]Do we earn experience/gold while playing on an Unofficial server?[/h3]

Since the experience is completely tailored to the server owner’s preferences, we are currently unable to regulate experience rates within Unofficial servers. Therefore no experience/gold is awarded while playing on an Unofficial server.

[h3]Do global player mutes apply on Unofficial servers?[/h3]

Yes, muted players are also unable to talk on Unofficial servers.

[h2]Keep-In-Mind[/h2]

[h3]Class Limits[/h3]

Setting restrictions on all classes or subclasses will have negative consequences if all of the slots for each class are filled. For example, if each class or subclass is set to 10% before filling, then only 40% of your team will be able to spawn. This can also have effects on team swapping between teams and from spectator mode.

[h3]Team Objective Base Stage Times[/h3]

Through the web interface, server owners can set the base stage times of each team objective map.

For example, across each stage of Coxwell, a base time of 5 minutes could be set.

• Stage 1: 5 Minutes
  
• Stage 2: 5 Minutes
  
• Stage 3: 5 Minutes
  
• Stage 4: 5 Minutes
  
• Stage 5: 5 Minutes
  

Now, this is reflected a little bit differently in the way maps calculate overall stage time. If players take 3 minutes to complete stage 1, there are 2 minutes left remaining.

Each map has a set “Carryover” time between objectives, which is how much time remains on a previous stage that can be added to the next stage.

So if Stage 1 takes 3 minutes (with 2 minutes remaining), with a carryover time of 2 minutes. (Stage 2 base 5 minutes + 2 minutes carryover = 7 minutes).
If stage 1 takes 4 minutes however with only 1 minute remaining, it would only add the extra minute.
(Stage 2 = base 5 minutes + 1 minute carryover = 6 minutes)

In a third case, if stage 1 takes 1 minute (4 minutes remaining), it can only add a max of 2 minutes of those 4 remaining minutes to the next stage.
(Stage 2 = base 5 minutes + 2 minutes carryover = 7 minutes)

Please keep this in mind when setting your base stages.

[h3]Admin Commands Syntax[/h3]

To access the in-game console to submit these commands first a player needs to be on PC. Next, you’ll need to navigate to your Settings > Options > Game Tab > General > “Enable Console” > Enabled. Finally, once in-game the console can be opened with the ~ key by default.

• KickById [ID] “Reason”
  
• BanById [ID] [Length in Hours up to 999999] "Reason"
  
• UnbanID [ID]
  
• Adminsay “Message”
  
• Serversay “Message”
  
• ADDBOTS [Amount]
  
• REMOVEBOTS 1 1
  
• TBSManuallyStartGame
  

To find a player's ID within a match first open the console with the ~ key. Next type the command ListPlayers. This will copy a list of player names and IDs to your clipboard. Paste this to a local notepad or Word document. Search through the list of players to find the ID you are looking for, and apply that ID to the command in the [ID] section.

• Darkforest: 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 55, 75
  
• Lionspire: 10, 15, 20, 30, 40
  
• Rudhelm: 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50

[h3]Map Rotation[/h3]

Servers always start with the default map after a server restart, in this case FFA_Duelyards

After the next map begins, your map list will follow your set rotation.

Note about the map order: the server holds an index of the current map in the map order. If the server is 3 maps in, and the server restarts, a server restart will cause the server to go to FFA_Duelyards as the default, and then navigate to map index 4. 

[h2]Known Issues[/h2]

• Post Match Screen displays gold/xp when no gold/xp is awarded
  
• Players temporarily appear with no customization or rank after entering a server after a crash (This resolved around 5 minutes after the crash and requires re-entering the server)
  
• Servers left up over extended periods of time can have their timer desync. We generally recommend a server reset at least every few days
  
• Travel to/from LTS maps causes players to be level 1 with level 0 classes and no admin powers. (Workaround: re-enter the server after the map travel is complete.)
