FAQ and Known Issues • [Alpha Playtest] v0.1.12

As we prepare for the alpha test for Second Wave, we have compiled a few known issues that we are aware of, as well as a few questions to answer that players may have during this test.

[h3][FAQ][/h3]
Can I stream the game / make videos on the game?

Yes, there is no NDA for Second Wave at the moment. We do ask that you be clear in your content creation and let your viewers know that this is in alpha and does not represent the final game.

Will the alpha be cross-play?

Currently this alpha test is for Steam (PC) only, and therefore there cannot be cross-play. When we do our testing on other platforms, we will be able to determine whether or not this is a possibility during those phases.

Do I need a key to play the game?

You can simply request access, and you will be accepted into our playtest. Please note that this may take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes.

Can I pre-download the game?

Yes. Simply check your Steam library and you should be able to download it once you've been accepted into the alpha.

Where can I report bugs, issues or suggest game improvements?

You can visit us on our support site at support.challengersgames.com.

Is there a Discord that I can talk to other players?

Yes, our Discord server is open for all players. Make sure to select your language and interest "Second Wave" when joining.

[h3][Known Issues][/h3]

When playing any game mode, the following situations may occur when restarting the game to connect to the game:
- Golems spawn outside of their proper spawn time in Domination mode and are invulnerable (do not take damage).
- No effect is displayed when using Michaela's skill, "Protection of Theos".
- Amelda and Merope do not respawn after dying.
After selecting a game mode in the lobby screen by pressing the Play button, there may be an issue where a pop-up message that says 'Social Server Not Connected' appears, even though the match has been successful.
- A temporary solution for this is click on the Confirm button and try matching again. If this error continues, simply restart the game client and try matching again.
When applying the System Language Setting and Voice Language Setting and it does not apply the selected settings.
System Option > General > Social > Chat Option > Chat Display > 'System Only' feature not working.
Part of the map in Trestyn or Circus may appear transparent, and can see players through them.

[h3][Bug Fixes][/h3]

Previously, players who missed the 'Accept' button caused a bug for the rest of the players inside of the matchmaking pool. This has been fixed.
Social Server Connection (Error 11000) has been fixed.
Players that would exit the client, either voluntarily or through a crash, and attempt to enter the game again would be inside of an infinite loading screen. This has been fixed. Players will now be removed from the match and be placed back in the lobby.

If there are additional bugs or issues that are found, do not hesitate to reach out to us in this thread or via our support site at support.challengersgames.com
