MORDHAU Build #11
With this update, we are shipping the Invasion game mode on three existing maps: Grad, Taiga and Camp. Invasion is an epic, asymmetric, objective-based mode where one team defends and the other attacks. The remaining maps will be adapted for Invasion in the future, including the two new maps we’re working on - Feitoria and Castello. Also featured in this update is automatic mod (map) download when connecting to a modded server. This is only the first step in mod support for MORDHAU, as the official SDK is not ready yet, although our resourceful community has managed to make maps regardless.
Stay tuned for more updates in the near future, Feitoria is just about ready for release!
Patch #11 Changelog 10/09/2019
Gameplay
Added a whole new asymmetric objective-based mode called Invasion. Currently available on Grad, Taiga and Camp. Mixed in with existing Frontline rotation on official servers.
Added automatic mod (map) download on connect and mod.io integration (workshop)

Update #9 - Missing Items
If you're missing items, please restart the game until all unlocked equipment/weapons are unlocked - we changed our inventory system, and it may take multiple tries for the system to "remember" your items.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Update #9 Released!
This latest update includes a host of improvements and features to MORDHAU - starting with duels, we’ve now implemented our first iteration of ranked play, a variety of gameplay improvements, map balancing to Crossroads, quality-of-life improvements, new cosmetics and more!
This update is the first of multiple coming to MORDHAU within the coming weeks; we’ve decided to break up our incoming additions into smaller updates to ensure that we can release new content without excessive delays. Expect iterative patches coming in the very near future that will build upon what’s currently available, and stay tuned for even more content and features soon, such as new maps, modding support, more gameplay adjustments and improvements for weapons, shields and archers, the new Invasion game mode, ranked 3v3 mode and more!
If you’d like to read all the changes for this update, check out our changelog on the forums, and see what’s coming in future updates as well!
Thank you everyone, for your patience and understanding. Our server troubles seem to be over. See you on the frontlines!
Servers Currently Unavailable
There is an issue rendering both official and community hosted servers currently unavailable. This seems to have stemmed from the latest steam maintenance just an hour or so ago. We are investigating this issue. Please by patient while we look for a solution.
Thank you
Patch #8 Hotfix - Fixes for Start-up crashes
We've just pushed a quick hotfix that should fix the crashes that occured on startup related to the Steam Inventory consolidation.
Patch #8 is mainly a Hotfix for the ongoing Steam Inventory issues that prevented a large number of you from playing online. Additionally we’ve squeezed in some optimizations on the CPU side.
Lastly there has been some changes to Crossroads due to the very mixed feedback we’ve gotten from you guys.
As for upcoming updates and patches, we’re still working away on the ranked Duel mode. Feitoria is now in the finishing stage, and Castello has made some great progress as well as you can see in this little sneak peek below.
All changes summed up:
Gameplay
Raised minimum voters for a kickvote vote to be valid: 50% of the team (was 33% of the team), meaning a vote will not succeed unless 50% of the team casts their vote (whether yes or no)
Currently played Frontline map will be excluded on the next map vote, so you can no longer play the same map twice in a row
Added fix for Steam Inventory timeouts. The inventory will now merge smaller item stacks on startup, this can take up to 5 minutes the first couple times but should eventually only take a few seconds.
Weapons & Equipment
Added Katzbalger Executioner Sword skin
Added Feather Damascus Bastard Sword skin
Added checkered patterns for Heavy Tabard
Maps & Gamemodes
Fixed auto assign breaking team limits if auto assigning while on a team (would put you on the other team and go over the cap), now does nothing if you are already on a team
Crossroads changes: spawn protection for infantry spawns, fixed some stuckspots, clamped exposure range to help visibility, no more forward spawn when holding center, bit more background detailing, minor layout changes for balance, slightly more fog to increase sense of depth, minor navigation fixes, tweaked ballista angles
Visuals & Misc.
Bunch of CPU optimizations
Fixed a Horde crash when having Warden's Eveningstar skin selected as customization
