Change in UGC process update
First I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the workshop for your beautiful work. spending time ogling the craftsmanship put into weapons and armor submitted from around the world is one of our favorite pastimes at the office.
We are entering a phase in which it has become difficult to manage our time between keeping Chivalry regularly updated with new UGC rounds each month and our other projects. While we do consider our foray into the user generated content arena a successful one, as a small studio with limited resources we have to balance our time between projects in a way that makes the most sense going forward.
Therefore, After the forthcoming UGC round 9 we will be discontinuing regular, monthly UGC updates. Keep in mind this does not mean we will never put another UGC item into chivalry, we hope to return to it when we have enough time. But we want to be as open and transparent with our content creators as possible and not make promises we can’t keep.
We will be continuing to look at our workshop and discussing internally when/if it makes sense to do another update, so anyone who continues to submit items will be appreciated and seen.
Thank you again for taking this journey with us and we hope to be able to discuss our plans for the future of UGC soon!
The Peasants’ Revolt is over!
After two unforgettable weeks of the Chivalry citizens’ uprising, the peasants have grown tired of revolting and returned to what they do best - standing around in villages, cowering and running away from combat.
Let it not be said that they did not make a difference. For their prized weapon the Nose Picker has been liberated for all players of Chivalry!
The Nose Picker
That’s right - because YOU the Chivalry community have reached the target of 155,000 members, this double axe variant is now a permanent part of the game.
As well as unlocking the Nose Picker, your membership in the Chivalry Steam Community grants you the Muffin Top hat and the ability to add an Agatha or Mason sigil to your player name.
The “Revolting Peasant” model in FFA mode and the other Peasants’ Revolt items are no longer available in Chivalry.
Let us never forget the peasants’ sacrifice. In memorium, download a high resolution version of the Peasants' Revolt poster here.
In the meantime, the Halloween spirit continues in Chivalry until Nov 7, with the Pumpkin Spice Helm. Give it a squash!
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare Patch 44 - Chivalry Hits the Gym
Having celebrated its third birthday last week, Chivalry felt like it was sagging in the mid section.
With this patch, we’ve taken Chivalry back to the gym for a full body makeover (and accompanying medieval workout poster).
Click here to download a high resolution version of this medieval workout poster created by artist Bastien Blavet.
This patch focuses on bug fixes, as well as the following content:
- Eight amazing new Workshop items available in the Chivalry Customization store, listed below.
- To celebrate Halloween we’ve got a free Halloween pumpkin hat available in-game across all classes and game modes until Nov 7.
- A mega Workshop sale! A bounty of items at up to 75% off.

[H1]Changes[/H1]
Localization changes
- New [URL="http://www.tornbanner.com/images/patchnotes/patch44/russian.jpg"]Russian translation[/URL]. Thanks to Sergey Sukhodko! This is still a work-in-progress, let us know if there's anything wrong or incomplete. More updates to come before the patch is released.
- Updated Italian translation (thanks again, Matteo "Aragorn-Elessar97" Cangi!)
- Updated French translation (thanks again, Nelson "Fitfit" Danloy!)
- [URL="http://www.tornbanner.com/images/patchnotes/patch44/after.png"]Fixed the fonts[/URL] so Cyrillic characters no longer use a [URL="http://www.tornbanner.com/images/patchnotes/patch44/before.png"]mix of glyphs from two different fonts[/URL]
- Fixed some spots where text from Russian and possibly other languages did not fit
- Fixed non-translating Spectator button in Team Select
- Merged in 360/PS3 European Spanish and German translations
- Fixed some instances of non-localizing HUD markers (e.g. Stoneshill Stage 1/Mason "Pillage" marker)
- Fixed some non-localizing text in duel mode (specifically "you have [joined/left] the pool")
Gameplay changes
- Making kicks better. It [URL="http://www.tornbanner.com/images/patchnotes/patch44/ogIL8an.webm"]does a little sphere collision check[/URL] at some set offset from the player pawn now. Elevation differences don't seem to hurt it as they did before.
- Console commands to visualize:
- aoc_drawtracer 1
- aoc_drawkick 1
- Old logic:
- A) do a radius check around our pawn and gather all pawns that are within `CONST_KICK_DIST` ( = 212.0) from us
- B) eliminate pawns that are further away than `CONST_KICK_DIST_HORZ` ( = 150.0)
- C) eliminate pawns that are further (Z only) than `CONST_KICK_MAX_Z` ( = 50.0)
- D) eliminate pawns that are more than `CONST_KICK_ANGLE` ( = 25.0) degrees away from the front of our pawn
- (all pawn locations are the _the point at the very centre of the pawn_)
- A) do a radius check around our pawn and gather all pawns that are within `CONST_KICK_DIST` ( = 212.0) from us
- Console commands to visualize:
- Draft bonus changed to 1.2x from 1.32x
- makes MAA speed 332 and a chasing knight 363, as opposed to the current 403
