Squad 44 News

Greetings!

We are excited to announce that the 3rd and long-awaited map for Chapter 2 will be released to Post Scriptum tomorrow Friday, December 17th.



The Chapter 2 map has been in development for a long time and has seen several delays occur during the process, but we are very satisfied with the state the map is currently in and can't wait to see our players opinions on the map when it releases.



Moving forward from this release we will be winding down for the holiday and next year we will be focusing quite heavily on Chapter 4 as well as the 2nd QoL update.

Sincerely,
Periscope Games

Greetings!

We have another smaller game update leading into the weekend. We've looked over some of the feedback from our Armour Overhaul, a few changes have been made to the Track and Cannon component.

Tracks are no longer considered a vital component (Even when both are knocked out). Cannon will no longer be able to fire below 50% HP.

We also tweaked some of the repair times to make them more reasonable.

[h2]Maginot Public Playtest[/h2]
[h3]December 11th @ 10 AM Pacific | 1 PM Eastern | 6 PM UTC[/h3]



The public playtest will run on a special Beta branch that you can access starting December 11th @ 10 AM Pacific | 1 PM Eastern | 6 PM UTC until December 11th @ 1 PM Pacific | 4 PM Eastern | 9 PM UTC by following the small guide below:

NOTE: If you do not see the validation-branch yet, it has either not gone live yet, or you need to restart Steam.

HOW TO OPT INTO BETA BRANCHES

1. Right-click Post Scriptum in your library.
2. Press the “Properties” button and navigate to the “BETAS” tab.
3. Select the dropdown and opt into “Validation-Branch”

Post Scriptum should now start updating the game and after it finishes you will have the Maginot build. Once the test is over you just do the same steps but opt out of any branches to revert back to the normal version of the game.



As per usual you can find the changelog for this update below.

We should now have a real fix for the infantry going invisible to tank crews, this is in huge part thanks to the wealth of bug reports & the efforts of our QA team.

Additionally we've fixed several other small and major issues like the tank sounds being heard from very far distances. This was due to some broken sound attenuation.
