Fistful of Frags News

Hi partners, our Halloween 2015 update was released today. What's in there may you wonder? We have extended the shootout game mechanic quite a bit by adding a new power-up...



The new power-up exclusive for Halloween mode is a short period of 30 seconds where player becomes an unstoppable killing machine. It grants bonuses such as:

• 2 Peacemaker revolvers
  
• infinite shots, no need to reload
  
• walk by using an innovative butt based technique which results in no higher inaccuracy while moving!
  

You become a ragged madman by picking up green potion bottles, a meter tells how much potion is needed. They can be found on top magic cauldrons or dropped from other players and ghosts. Ghosts can't be killed by firearm or blunt weapons but they can be taken away somehow... (hint: explosives or fall from high places!)

This update is also special because we are adding a vastly improved version of our classic map fof_cripplecreek by RedYager. In this case its Halloween variant 'creepycreek', the daylight version will follow in next update. There's new visuals and the layout for a few key areas has been redone completely, hope you enjoy it!

Howdy, just wanted to make clear something to avoid confusion among all of you. Maybe you didn't noticed but we released a large update a few days ago that fixes all the infamous security holes and also brings the most recent version of Source engine to our game. Happy fragging and pass the whiskey.

The second part of this brief news is dedicated to our upcoming update to commemorate Halloween. There will be Halloween themed maps as past year and a special 32 slot shootout-alike game mode featuring ghost and a new power-up. I'll just say this. Discuss.

Hi folks, Valve released updated client libraries that include some security related fixes so we are going to test them before merging the new files into the main branch. So the changes are just security fixes.

Please note that this new beta breaks compatibility with current public version so you cannot play on any non beta server. Same for dedicated servers joining the beta, only beta clients can join without issue.

Please follow these instructions to join the beta:

Client: go to Steam library, select FoF, right mouse button click on 'properties', betas tab and select 'upcoming'. Remember to opt out when the beta period concludes.

Dedicated Server: use this line in your steamcmd script app_update 295230 -beta upcoming validate

Update September 12:
- 'upcoming' branch updated, isn't compatible anymore with 'release' branch due major base engine changes and updates
- Linux and OSX clients currently crash, awaiting for updated libraries from Valve to fix this.
