Blackwake
Connection issue update
Although the majority of you are playing fine, there is a very small subset of users experiencing some of the issues mentioned in this thread: http://steamcommunity.com/app/420290/discussions/2/133258092245256356/
We are not okay with this, and we are now in contact and working with a Unity developer on this issue. We will hopefully begin to see some progress soon. Blackwake uses WakeNet, a high level networking system we built above the UNet transport layer. We reached a point where errors from the transport layer were no longer giving us useful information, causing a stall on this issue. There is still no known workaround and we sincerely apologize for that.
More fixes
Server owners should update their servers, some changes under the hood were made.
- Fixed issue where U and I keys could interrupt chat while typing
- Fixed various issues with refreshing the server list
- Tickets should now properly be visible at 21:9
- Headshot overlay and blood overlay should display correctly at 21:9
- Muting a player (scoreboard > click > mute) will also mute their character voice
- Server owners can now populate ServerAnnouncements.txt to display in the chatbox
- Fixed error that could cause the customization menu to persist into the game
- T key can now be rebound (listed as 'Free Mouse')
- Server history tab added
- Fixed issue where those playing with controllers could not turn left or right without exiting the wheel
We want to remind you guys that we will be moving on to content soon, but it's important to us that we fix as many bugs as we can before doing so. We would like as many people to experience our updates as possible once we get to that stage.
We are actively investigating connection issues, keep updated here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/420290/discussions/2/133258092245256356/
21:9 fix, OST, fixes
- We've attempted to make 21:9 more playable with a quick fix, please let us know (you may need to restart the game after setting it)

- Esc menu during weapon select will no longer leave you mouseless
- Y, U, I chatbox buttons can now be re assigned
- Changed the way server favorites are loaded for speed
- Server owners can now use the useIp= config line
- Server owners can now specify a target config file using the command line '-configFile File.cfg' You can use the Unity command -logFile mentioned here if you're running multiple servers. Keep in mind for the time being this may cause issues with the auto restarter.

In other news and by popular request, we went ahead and released the Blackwake Official Soundtrack composed by Garrett Beelow. You can grab it here to support him for his excellent work: http://store.steampowered.com/app/594184
