Broadway is a fast-paced, high-pressure scenario built to challenge team coordination, player adaptability, and nerves of steel. It continues the legacy of Broadway maps introduced in the original No More Room in Hell, and has been built with a strong focus on realism and urban authenticity.[/p]

[h2]New Tutorial – CRC Training Facility[/h2][p]The momentum from Reanimation and the influx of new players during our March free weekend offered a clear snapshot of how our game is evolving. They also gave us valuable insight into how we can better support newcomers as they take on the game’s challenges. To help new players get their footing and give veterans a place to sharpen their skills, we're introducing the CRC Training Facility, also known among Responders as "The Weather Station." It is located at Nexrad Station NWCX in Pennsylvania.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]The CRC Training facility:[/p]

[h2]Known Major Issues[/h2][p]As a reminder, No More Room in Hell 2 is in Early Access. Your reports are vital to improving the game. Current major issues we're tracking include:[/p]
  • [p]In some cases, quitting to the front end while your character is still alive, or doing so very quickly after dying, may result in a delay (~30 seconds) before you're prompted to select a new character. This doesn’t affect gameplay but may cause a short wait on the front end.[/p]
  • [p]Some players are experiencing issues where account level appears to reset. We’re investigating the cause of this and looking into rectifying these cases.[/p]
  • [p]Customization assets have not been translated yet into other languages.[/p]
  • [p]One objective in Broadway and one objective in the tutorial are not set up to translate properly in other languages.[/p]
  • [p]Responder faces may appear distorted on lower graphics settings.[/p]
  • [p]Responders arriving later to an objective area may see some inaccurate objectives.[/p]
  • [p]Responders who catch on fire may burn for longer than intended.[/p]
  • [p]Migrating characters from previous versions of the game can take long enough that rarely players will see a black screen or timeout after launching the game.[/p]
  • [p]There's a chance that after leaving a match it looks like your character roster has disappeared, characters will reappear on restart of your game.[/p]
  • [p]Our in-game roadmap has not been updated, stay tuned for more news soon.
