[h3]A number of gamers who do NOT play our game do not always recognize the progress that CRS has been making over the years, in particular, towards UE5 (WWII ONLINE v2.0)[/h3][h3][/h3][h2]Several things to consider which are NOT glamorous or headline grabbing:[/h2][p][/p][h3]Our gaming is growing (huge percentage of our customer base does NOT use Steam so Steam Charting is inaccurate at best) and our recent monthly operations are seing participation spike to 200+ players gamers battling it out at one or more battles. Our recent live stream of OP AUTUMN FURY showcased these numbers. Register on our Discord for OPS FROSTBITE and CLIMATE CHANGE in December and January.[/h3][h3]Ours is a multi-player game on a HUGE scale so when a formation of 5 He-111 bombers drops 128 50kg bombs in the midst of a hotly contested town, there are NO stutters.[/h3][h3]That is a significant improvement on the back-end but it's not sexy but very critical for the present and future for 2.0[/h3][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][h3]WWII ONLINE is a global 24/7 game with players competing all on the same server. We have recently improved our prediction code over a series of patches so our players have a smoother and more predictable gaming experience whether on ground, in a vehicle, flying, or even jumping out of an airplane.[/h3][p][/p][p]Massive paratrooper jump over enemy objective![/p][p][/p][h3]We are implementing subtle lighting changes with our recent Phase 1 enhanced shaders. As we progress, these changes will likely be quickly forgotten; however, they provide a richer background to provide a more enhanced gaming experience (IE suspension of disbelief).[/h3][h3]Our focus continues to be on how to improve the present gameplay experiences, interfaces, bug squashing, etc while delivering new UE5 compliant models like our Early War (Tier 0) tanks such as the French R35, British A13, and German Pzr IIC which are currently in development.[/h3][h3]We hope you take a moment to watch the clips above and scroll through the remaining posted screenshots. We have been HARD at work for our present and future members of the community.[/h3][p][/p][h3]Finally, if you are a gamer, join the Campaign Server and play. With the recent implementation of VICTORY POINTS where F2P gamers earn VP and then spend the VP to access premium equipment. Return from a mission with equipment intact, there is NO cost in VP to your balance. You get spawn camped as soon as you spawn in, NO VP loss.[/h3][p][/p][p]Victory Point Walk-through[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]

[p]Players who have integrated graphics cards should no longer be seeing a lot of weird stuff on their screen - sorry about that! We had several people test this out and it works correctly, making the game visually playable again.
[/p][p]Capture timer speeds were reduced to 10% of normal capture speeds during time zone 3 (11PM - 7AM PST, GMT -8) to help combat late night rolls. This is an ongoing evaluation to keep game play operational but slow down the negative effects that result into drastic campaign changes.[/p][p][/p][p]Please continue reporting any other issues with pictures or videos or replication steps at [/p][p]https://www.wwiionline.com/bugs.[/p][p][/p][h2]World War II Online [/h2][p]Version 1.38.1.2 - December 2025 [/p][p][/p][p]This is a minor update to resolve post-1.38.1.0 (major) release issues. Officially, WWII Online has never supported integrated graphics cards - we strongly encourage upgrading to a high performance GPU to experience the best gameplay.[/p][p][/p][h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]
