Rising Storm 2: Vietnam

Update 1.5.1 Is Being Deployed
This is the first of several expected hotfixes for Update 1.5. This update is a proper shipping build for clients and servers, not a debug build which accidentally shipped yesterday. The current plan includes another build tomorrow to fix several issues that were found in the testing of this build, and another hotfix in the coming days to address other player encountered issues that have been reported.

Thank you for your patience. Client and server files for this update are now live

PSA: On Current Update 1.5 Issues
We are aware of the update 1.5 issues players are experiencing and are working to quickly resolve them. We are expecting to ship an update in the next 24 hours to address the debug build that was deployed to players instead of the shipping build. This will improve performance and provide players with the expected gameplay experience.
Further issues will be addressed in a subsequent hotfix. We apologize for this mixup and we look forward to seeing all the new and returning boots on the ground once this is resolved.

[previewyoutube="5_dU2W35RD8;leftthumb"]


Talvisota: Winter War arrives as a fresh and frozen way for fans to play, launching with full voice acting support, six brand new weapons, four vehicles, eleven new maps, skiers, and more. Other additions for the Talvisota: Winter War mod include new music, historically accurate customization options, and new commander abilities. For a full list of new additions, please visit the Steam Store page here:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1206240/Talvisota__Winter_War/

Talvisota: Winter War is a community created full conversion mod, utilizing the majority of core gameplay mechanics from Rising Storm 2: Vietnam to explore an entirely different theater of war not often seen in video games.

To create a battlefield that feels different from the base game a lot of work has gone into both brand-new content and features, as well as aspects that veterans of the series will immediately recognize

FEATURES - WEAPONS





Talvisota features a widespread arsenal of period-accurate Soviet and Finnish weaponry of all types, for example:

b]BRAND-NEW WEAPONS

  • Suomi KP/-31 SMG
  • L1935 Lahti Pistol
  • Lahti-Saloranta M/26 LMG
  • "Kasapanos" Satchel Charge

  • Nagant M1895 Revolver

  • T-20 "Komsomolets" Armored Tractor
  • T-26 Light Tank
  • HT-130 Flamethrower Tank
  • T-28 Medium Tank


Drastically different from the helicopters of Rising Storm 2, these behemoths require players to work together to properly and effectively utilize. Single crewmen cannot drive and operate the turret at the same time!

Meanwhile Finnish players have a variety of handheld anti-tank weapons and traps, including the renowned Molotov Cocktail. To keep up with the mechanized Soviet transports, Finnish soldiers are issued Skis that can be used to quickly cross open terrain.

FEATURES - MAPS

State Of The Game - September 2019
As you are most likely aware, Antimatter Games, who did the majority of development work on Rising Storm 2: Vietnam have been acquired by Toadman and announced they are working exclusively on a new title of their own. As such, they are no longer actively developing RS 2. While we work on the longer-term implications of that, there are a number of issues we are aware of and are actively working to fix for you in the coming weeks, including but not limited to:


  • Whitelist updates for new mods/mutators
  • Servers intermittently going deranked
  • “Black screen” during Campaign Mode under certain circumstances


More on this over the next few weeks. And as always, thank you for being fans of the Red Orchestra and Rising Storm franchise.
