Regiment Warfare! Fixes & Additions V2

Greeting good fellows of the Holdfast community! Today releases the second update in a series of smaller releases tackling some of the bugs and player feedback following the latest major update release.

In-line with community feedback tracers from other players will be shorter and fade faster while still maintaining that chaotic feeling of musket balls flying around you. Your own trail will remain as it was before to provide a visual feedback to adjust your shots.



The adjustment on the melee mode camera to be accurately centred has been reverted to ensure the melee experience remains as it was before. We’ve also fixed the slight visual delay on the flintlock mechanism animation when firing that was making the firearms feel unresponive.



Additionally we've tackled instances with the Steam-deck that wouldn't allow players to use a keyboard and mouse as their main input if desired. We also introduced the ability for the UI to be scaled to increase clarity and size of the elements for those on smaller displays.



Make sure your game has been updated to Version 2.21 to see game servers in the lobby.

Stay tuned for more to come and until next time, may good health be yours. :oheart:
