Onward 1.8.6 is now available!

Hello everyone!

We’re excited to share Onward 1.8.6 with you! In this patch we’ve focused on two key areas: first, we worked to improve gameplay and graphical issues we’ve seen players run into such as for example people appearing to jump around if they have a poor internet connection, players spawning near you in social game modes and some performance problems a small portion of PC players ran into after the last patch. Secondly, we’ve fixed dozens of bugs all across the game, the highlights you can On our website.

In the previous patch we delivered some of our previously announced features earlier than we had expected, those included improved support for haptics devices and custom content. We’re still working on the next set of major new features, including the game audio overhaul and the Shadowmask feature we shared a preview of in the September Sitrep. In that timeline we had anticipated the Jungle map to be released in this patch, and although we got close we got some valuable feedback from Unit 51, our playtesting group, that made us realize we want to change our approach to that particular map.

We’ll be giving you an update on our overall progress on new features later this week. For now we trust you’ll enjoy Onward 1.8.6, and we’ll see you on the battlefields!

Onward 1.8.6 s available now and will download automatically.
