[h2]Spring Offensive - Eastern Front[/h2]
Under the Chantilly Agreement of December 1915, Russia, France, Italy and Great Britain were committed to simultaneous attack against the Central Power in the summer of 1916. The Lake Naroch offensive is related to this, as it was launched by request of the French Marshal Joseph Joffre. It was intended to relieve pressure on the French troops fighting in Verdun on the Western Front. The offensive was launched on March 18 1916.

The Lake Naroch offensive was unsuccessful due to a lack of adequate reconnaissance. This resulted in the Russian artillery's failure to destroy the well fortified German positions, which in return led to direct infantry attacks against the German line that had minimal chance of success.



[h2]Dual Spring Offensive in game[/h2]
Our latest campaign event will run until March 27.
All casualties in Frontlines and Maneuver game modes in Verdun and Tannenberg will be added to the total losses, and the winning side will be whoever suffers the least killed and wounded. Too many First World War battles essentially became meatgrinders (or were even conceived as such from the start) and so it is for our campaigns.

Hi everyone!

I'm Thomas, the producer of the WW1 Game Series team. We have a patch for you all that hopefully fixes the progression issues (removed/inflated XP) for Verdun and Tannenberg, as well as a high chance of helping with the disconnect issues. For further investigation we added more logging to provide us with more details on the issue going forward. These changes are experimental so please read the following instructions carefully!

[h2]UPDATING THE GAME[/h2]

To update your game to fix the previously named issues, we updated the opentesting branch for both games. This means that the games won't update automatically, you have to switch yourself. We want to be absolutely sure that our changes for data saving don’t influence your progression, so that's why we treat it like an experimental patch.

How to switch:

• In Steam, right click the game in your list
  
• Press Properties (the lowest option)
  
• Navigate to the Betas tab
  
• Select opentesting from the list.

This should trigger a small update.

[h2]RISKS[/h2]

When you switch to the opentesting branch, your current progression will not be at risk. However, if something turns out to be wrong with our fixes, you might lose the stats you gathered since switching. We did some internal testing, enough to deem it safe enough to deploy it here, but we never know for sure until we test at scale.

If you switch to the opentesting branch and encounter any disconnection and progression issues, please make sure to:

• Notify us in our community Discord, find the #techsupport channel. You can share it here on Steam as well, but on Discord things go a lot faster!
  
• Include your player.log and player-prev.log (how to find them)

By doing this. you will help us identify and fix the problem easier and quicker!

If all goes well, the fix will be applied as a standard update for the games.

Thank you all and good luck on the battlefield!
