Changelog 58 - Game Version 1.9.7559.27288
Cavalry Units
● Solved an issue where sprinting while on horseback was no longer working as intended.
● Solved an issue when striking with a sword while on horseback having an increased delay.
● Solved an issue which results in some strikes with a sword while on horseback to miss its target if you’d hit your own horse and the enemy at the same time.
● Players will now find it slightly easier to block an incoming strike from a player on horseback.
Infantry Units
● Solved an issue with the French Polish ‘Vistula’ Legion Line Infantry and Infantry Officer having a head that is smaller and therefore not particularly fitting on their shoulders. Don’t you worry, they were still sufficiently capable in the battlefield albeit this one minor mishap.
● Adjusted the claymore to better fit in the Scottish Infantry Officer’s hands.
Surgeons
● Surgeons are no longer able to heal themselves or others whilst under water.
● Surgeons are no longer able to heal themselves or others whilst carrying any object.
Drowning
● You will now take more damage the longer you stay underwater.
Naval Warfront
● Solved an issue which sometimes results in only rowboats spawning for the invaders during the Coastal Siege game mode.
Roleplay Gestures
● You may now continue to chat while doing roleplay gestures.
Game Load
● Optimised the instantiating of audio during map load to slightly improve map load times.

● Sacred Valley is now playable on the Official Army Front servers.
● You will now find newer maps introduced in Version 1.8 appearing more frequently on the Army Front rotation.
