Developer blog #145

Community members! In our previous blog, we announced that we will be publishing Community Update 3 soon. Today, we will have a look at the plan, and tell you about a small change in the execution.


You may remember we talked about a performance update that is planned to go live with Community Update 3.
We know from testing that this update improves the framerate situation by quite a margin.
Reading all of the talking points from our previous update, performance improvement is the subject that impacts players the most. That makes it a top priority for us.
We have now decided to split Community Update 3 into two parts, shipping the performance improvement first because we feel this can’t wait. We will add Sound Overhaul Part II, the new tutorial missions, and - as usual for every update - several general fixes and balance adjustments. Barbedwire Studios and Digitalmindsoft worked to bring you these improvements and we are very happy with the results!

Part II will consist of the German human models, and the “Last Stand” game mode. It will be introduced as soon as everything is ready; we expect it will go live a handful of weeks after part I.

We will publish part I as an open beta first. This open beta will become available early next week.
In the meantime, work on part II continues, which will also get its own open beta; we’ll keep you posted about that of course.
During this time, as we said earlier, we will be monitoring the open beta feedback channel on our Discord server for any comments. We don’t expect any issues at all, but you never know.
Will you be trying the open beta? Let us know in the comments!
