Totally Accurate Battle Simulator News

Hello everyone! We have a small patch incoming.



Added:

• - New option in settings for "LOD Quality" (higher settings change LODs further away).
  

We also know that some of you are having issues with the game detecting a controller when you’re trying to get past the early access screen. We have a hotfix you can try alongside the previous recomended solutions.

The following solution will disable the use of gamepads (if you want to play with gamepad please don’t use it).

1. Right-click the game on your game list.
   
2. Choose Properties>general
   
3. Set launch options “-disablegamepad”.
   

Hello everyone! We’re back and working on the game harder than ever. In the past couple of weeks, we’ve discussed our current timeline for the game and realized that it’s no longer realistic.

Due to the unforeseen bugs in the Wild West update and other issues, we have decided to revamp our roadmap and change the order of some of the updates.

The new estimated timeline is as follows:

[h3]Q4 (October-December)[/h3]

Update 0.13.0 Unit Creator
The Unit Creator! We’re super excited to release this update where you will be able to create your own units and factions.

1.0 Full release
Full release with the last faction, localization, achievements, twitch integration (PC only), and some unannounced features.

[h3]2021[/h3]

• Hero Unit.
  
• PS4 and Nintendo Switch.
  
• Cool secret stuff and the possibility of more post-release content.
  

This roadmap and the estimations can change at any time and we can not give any closer estimations than the time of year.

Game development is hard to estimate as many unforeseen things can happen. We are committed to not crunching as we believe it damages both the game and the developers working on it, we want to bring you the best game possible and be healthy at the same time.

We're still working to solve the bugs in the game asap.

[h2]An announcement about the Hero Unit[/h2]

After a lengthy discussion we have decided to release the Hero Unit feature as a separate update or free DLC after the full release of the game instead of as an update during early access/game preview.

The reason for doing this is that we would like to do more with the Hero Unit than we initially planned which would require more time to work on it.

Another option would be to postpone the release of TABS in order to implement the new Hero Unit features but that would also delay other awaited features as well as the release on PS4 and The Switch. This would also mean having to cut some of the planned things for the Hero Unit and making it less fun. We’d rather just postpone the release of the Hero Unit and work on making it as good as possible instead of rushing it or delaying the release of other features.

We understand that this may be disappointing but we hope you will enjoy the Hero Unit, even more, when we can release it with more features and more fine-tuning.

The release of TABS is still planned for PC, Mac, and Xbox during late Q3 (August-September ) this year.

TLDR: The Hero Unit feature is postponed to after release to make it better and as to not delay other planned features.

Thank you for your patience while we're fixing bugs, here's the second patch to fix some of the custom content bugs, etc.




[h2]Bug fixes:[/h2]

• Fixed issues with Lasso and Jester units
  
• Fixed some issues regarding custom content not showing correctly
  

[h2]Features:[/h2]

• Added map name/battle name in placement mode
  

[h3]We know some of you are unable to launch the game due to it detecting a controller, fixing an option to switch between them will take some time so in the meantime please do the following: [/h3]

If you have any controllers or other USB devices (like a racing wheel or a joystick) plugged in, please try to unplug it and start the game with only mouse and keyboard.

This issue can also be caused by software that emulates inputs, for example, something that lets you remap or change key bindings outside of games. Vjoy is known to cause this issue. Please try to uninstall any programs like this and see if that solves the issue.

[h2]Remember to restart steam and verify the integrity of the game files. [/h2]
