Hello pilots!

The next patch is in Beta! It addresses several issues, including a graphics API selection issue on Linux that was resulting in a blank screen on some devices. If you're on Linux and still getting issues after the patch it may be Vulcan failing to init. You can add '-force-opengl' to the launch parameters by right clicking on CounterAttack in Steam, and going to properties. The launch params are at the bottom of the 'General' section as seen here.

This patch also improves the Camera on the tank level for local multiplayer games as well as in online multiplayer when a player has died and becomes a deadgun. It also fixes a bug preventing multiple PDLs of the same subtype from being equipped, for example when using the attachments 'Quantium Guide' with 'Ship Defence Module'.

You can try out these changes today by following these instructions on accessing the beta branch.



There is also another small content/feature update in the works. I'll go into more detail in a future post.
