• 7 AM by Central US (CST, GMT-6 winter time)

• 16:00 by Russia/Moscow (GMT+3)

[h3]Winners on Official Global Clan Wars server[/h3]

As the current wipe cycle on Global Clan Wars draws to an end we can now announce first-ever winners on this server in the faction leaderboard!
  1. [RECT] — 16551
  2. [XXX] — 12080
  3. [CN] — 9263
  4. [SSS] — 8627

[h3]CryoSmall wipe[/h3]
Also, the popular community server CryoSmall will also have the following day—this Saturday (February 20th, wiping every 3 weeks) at 12 PM by GMT/UTC time. This time it will be a solo/duo server so you can play solo or create a team of 2 players maximum. This server has moderation to enforce the rules of no-alliances so nobody can play there in the larger team than permitted.
By the way, if you're looking for a moderated server allowing teams up to 5 players, please check CryoFive server that wiped last Saturday.

A29 Patch #7

=== CryoFall v0.29.12.6 (A29 Patch #7) ===

Changes:
- Restored previous woodcutting/mining sounds (the new mining sound is used for pragmium mining only).
- PvE: hidden diplomacy management faction permission (as there is no diplomacy in PvE).

Fixes:
- PvP: sometimes it was not possible to pickup player loot located in the opened door.
- In the server list entry, the next wipe date was displayed in UTC time instead of local time.

This is a client-only patch.


PSA: if you're using Norton Antivirus, some of the game files may be detected as malicious. They're not—we've verified this 100%. It's just a false-positive detection due to heuristics analysis (signature matching is not a perfect way to determine a virus or malware and Norton is notorious with this issue). You can see the analysis by Virus Total—every other major antivirus doesn't detect anything with the game executable. We've reached Norton to submit false positive detection to them and, if you're their user, we encourage you to do the same by following this link https://submit.norton.com/?type=FP (we've submitted the file as well but it's stuck in "Analyzing" state for almost a month now despite the promised 48 hours to process our report)
As a workaround, please disable the antivirus temporarily, install the game, whitelist the game executables, then enable the antivirus back. There are two executable files that you need to whitelist:
/Binaries/Client/CryoFall_Client.dll
/Binaries/Shared/Compiler/CryoFall_Compiler.dll
Enjoy the game!

A29 Patch #6

=== CryoFall v0.29.12.5 (A29 Patch #6) ===

Changes:
- New sounds for woodcutting and rock mining.
- Many sounds introduced with A29 Update updated with better versions (e.g. Sand Tyrant boss sounds).
- The rest of the A29 Update's sounds updated with the best quality versions (stereo).
- It's no longer possible to transfer a vehicle to ownership of a public faction (the feature was intended only for private factions).

Fixes:
- CryoFall Editor: fixed an issue when the Editor was unresponsive after closing the main menu overlay.

This is a client-only patch.

A29 Patch #5

=== CryoFall v0.29.12.1 (A29 Patch #5) ===

Changes:
- Now you can transfer a vehicle to faction ownership. Faction officers can assign access rights to faction-owned vehicles (currently it requires the faction permission "Land claim management", a new permission is expected with A30 Update)
- Added red outline effect for deconstruction. This way it's easier to determine which structure you will deconstruct when pressing the left mouse button. (It doesn't work with floor and farm plot currently but it should not be an inconvenience in these cases)
- Sound cues for out-of-screen sounds now have green color when produced by party members, faction members, and ally faction members (previously it was working this way only for party members)
- Boss event: Reduced Sand Tyrant boss HP on -15% so it has a difficulty similar to Pragmium Queen boss.
- Events scheduler: Only a single event can run at a time (except a boss)
- Events scheduler: Boss spawn will happen at least 3 hours since the previous boss spawn
- Salt flats area on the secret island will contain up to two scorpions
- PvE: Removed the deposit capacity display for oil and Li extractors in PvE as there are only infinite deposits in this game mode
- Improved detection of the object under mouse cursor when there are several objects (e.g. a vehicle over a teleport platform or vehicle assembly bay, several mechs one close to another, items placed on teleport platform, fridges built close to each other, etc)

Fixes:
- It was possible to loot a creature multiple times when the inventory is almost full and there is no free space around the creature's corpse to drop the loot on the ground
- PvP: Resonance bomb (aka pragmium bomb) damaged turrets (it should damage only walls and doors as explained in its description)
- PvP: Turrets received an incorrect amount of explosive damage. They will receive proper damage now. To keep the previous balance, their HP is reduced accordingly and their damage resistance to firearms was increased
- It was not possible to drop items on the road, bridge, and inside the teleport. On PvP servers, the player's loot also didn't drop there (it was placed on the closest free tile)
- Grenade launcher cannot shot through the fence but the laser sight displayed that it can
- ServerRates.config bug: When DamageFriendlyFireMultiplier is set to 0, no PvP damage allowed even to non-friendly players

Community servers: This patch should be installed on the server in order to play the game with the latest CryoFall client version. No wipe with this patch, the savegame is completely compatible with the previous A29 version.
If you don't want to update the server or stuck playing on a community server that is running an old version, you can switch to the previous client version in Steam Client (open CryoFall game properties in Steam Client -> BETAS tab -> select legacy-a29-v0.29.11.13 in the dropdown menu).

CryoFall Editor is also updated to this version.

A29 Patch #4

=== CryoFall v0.29.11.13 (A29 Patch #4) ===

Changes:
- Improved visuals for brick wall (including its broken variant), tobacco plant, and pragmium suit (female version)
- Improved fallback route selection for master server connection

Fixes:
- PvP: bomb placement visual remained after another player finished planting a bomb
- PvP: "Cannot unlock" error when attempting to unlock a tech group right after its time gate expired
- PvE: sometimes the object lock was not displayed properly (e.g. when moving away and quickly returning to the locked object)

This is a client-only patch.
