Sharing the voice of users upon the July 19th update and future plans.
Greetings, mercenaries!
We, the CROWZ team, have received valuable feedback from many mercenaries after the July 19th update, and we would like to share our future plans regarding some major suggestions.
1. About matching not proceeding normally.
> After adding the new map and server regions, some mercenaries have reported that they've experienced difficulties finding a game.
We are currently reviewing various ways so that this issue can be alleviated, and we would like to inform you that we are planning to provide a system, which will automatically start matching when there is a game available in another region.
In addition to this, if the matching does not proceed normally prior to the improvement regarding the matching system, we recommend checking ‘How to manually change the region’ guide through the link attached below and accessing regions with larger numbers of players matching.
Link: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1692070/view/5157201627297844958
※ You can quickly check the related contents by pressing ‘CTRL + F’ → 'How to manually change a region’
We will do our best to provide an improved gaming environment as soon as possible.
2. About improving the Quick Match feature.
> We are constantly reviewing ways to enable our mercenaries to enjoy all maps provided in the game.
We are preparing to improve the Quick Match feature, which has been suggested by many mercenaries, and we will do our best so that everyone can enjoy a variety of maps.
3. About improving the Squad Operation mode.
> As our fellow mercenaries all know, CROWZ has released two new maps for the Blood Zone mode through the recent updates.
We are aware that many mercenaries enjoy the Squad Operation mode as much as the Blood Zone mode. We are planning on gradually improving it by taking various suggestions received from our mercenaries into account.
If there are any confirmed changes, we will notify everyone through an announcement, and we promise to do our best to make the Squad Operation mode more enjoyable.
4. About adding new firearms.
> We are continuously preparing the release of new firearms by reviewing all of the gun-related suggestions sent by the mercenaries.
However, we ask for your kind understanding that it may take some time as we have to consider various aspects including the balance. We are currently considering adding new firearms every season, through the seasonal update.
If there is any new information related to the addition of new firearms, we will notify everyone through an announcement.
5. About adding a ‘Hide Nickname’ function.
> We have received feedback from our partners and streamers who carry out CROWZ live streams saying that they are experiencing difficulties due to other users intentionally interfering with the game while watching their live streams.
As CROWZ aims for a fair game, we will do our best to prevent inconveniences to the mercenaries playing CROWZ by seeking various methods to resolve this matter.
6. About adding a first-person only mode’s stats in Record.
> Since the release of the new first-person only map ‘Whale Town’, our fellow mercenaries have provided various feedback on improving the map.
Among the received suggestions, several mercenaries have requested the addition of the first-person mode records, and we will actively review this suggestion. In addition, we will review all of the received feedback and do our best to make the ‘Whale Town’ map even more enjoyable to play.
7. About improving hitbox (headshot) registration.
> We have received feedback regarding hitboxes (headshots) registration not working normally. We are currently internally reviewing the hitbox registration to improve it for more precise registration of headshots.
However, we ask for your understanding that the reviewing process may take some time.
Thank you.

#CROWZ #THUMBAGE #ROYALCROW #FPS
Sharing the voice of users upon the June 28th update and future plans.
Greetings, mercenaries!
We, the CROWZ team, have received valuable feedback from many mercenaries after the June 28th update, and we would like to share our future plans regarding some major suggestions.
1. About adding in-game AI bots
- We are well aware of the feelings of the mercenaries who have suggested ways to meet the required number of players by adding AI bots in case there is an insufficient number of participating players.
However, in order to increase the immersion in the game, we believe that real players playing the game should be a priority.
In this regard, we promise to consider various methods of improving this matter so that our mercenaries can fully enjoy CROWZ, and we will further review the addition of AI bots as one of such methods.
2. About adding separate first-person / third-person modes
- We are currently preparing a first-person only mode; however, as there is a possibility of mercenaries only playing the first-person mode once the mode is added, we are thoroughly considering various aspects of this matter.
If there is any additional information regarding the addition of such mode, we will announce it in advance through the relevant notice.
3. About adding an in-game tutorial
- We have received suggestions regarding adding a more detailed in-game tutorial so that new mercenaries can easily access it in the game.
We are well aware that providing a more convenient environment is one of the most important tasks; therefore, we will positively review this suggestion.
4. About improving the chat feature
- We have received feedback from some mercenaries requesting a function that enables players to adjust the chat window (text size, chat window size and location) in the game.
As for now, there are no plans on improving the chat feature. However, if we receive more requests for it to be improved, we promise to review this matter in order to provide a more optimized chat feature.
5. About improving the in-game outfits for easier distinction of allies and foes
- CROWZ aims to be a more realistic FPS game with a realistic surrounding environment.
Therefore, we ask for your kind understanding that we have not considered improving this matter since helping to distinguish allies and foes on a system level does not align with our idea of providing a more realistic FPS gaming environment.
6. About supporting Nvidia Geforce Now
- We have been receiving feedback from mercenaries requesting to provide the support of Nvidia Geforce Now as well as other various features in order to be able to run the game more smoothly even on the PCs that have lower system requirements than the recommended system requirements of CROWZ.
We understand the feelings of the mercenaries who have suggested this feature to be able to enjoy CROWZ in a more comfortable manner, but, unfortunately, we would like to inform you that we are not preparing an Nvidia Geforce Now support.
However, if there are any other matters that can help mercenaries access CROWZ smoothly, including this function, we promise to actively discuss and do our best to improve it in the future.
7. About whitelisting Logitech and Razer mouse software
- First of all, the Macro function is also provided for convenience purposes by the mouse software.
However, even though it is provided for convenience purposes, when used in FPS games, it can cause serious issues.
If we proceed with whitelisting such software, it could seriously affect the game, such as disrupting the game balance, as we have mentioned above. Therefore, we are not considering whitelisting Logitech and Razer mouse software.
However, please note that by closing the Macro software, you will be able to enjoy CROWZ normally. If it is detected even after being closed, please delete the saved macro script and settings in the Macro software.
8. About adding the SA server
- We would like to express our gratitude to the mercenaries in South America enjoying CROWZ.
We are well aware of the increasing number of users in South America, and we are continuously looking into server expansion. Once we find a solution, we will be able to reflect on your needs, so we kindly ask you to wait a little longer.
Thank you.
