Steam FREE weekend! & PC Gamer Weekender
We're bringing the game to the PC Gamer Weekender in London this weekend and to mark the occasion for all who can't attend in person we're making the game FREE to play on Steam this weekend!
Hotfix - improved loading management
MOSS anti-cheat now supported & debugging hotfix
I'm also pleased to say that as of today we have been added to the MOSS anti-cheat system, which will be important as we bring the game to online leagues in the months ahead.
See you in discord!

Patch Notes - 12th Jan 2018
Here's our first software update!! Get downloading :D
This update is in direct response to your feedback since going into early access, so thank you and keep it coming.
Much of this patch is focussed on improving the information we give to our new players who are discovering the game for the first time, we've watched a lot of Twitch streams and YouTube videos and realised that things aren't necessarily as clear to a new player as we thought they were. This is exactly why we're doing early access.
Patch notes: 12th January 2018
• Online weekly tournament registration countdown, please go sign up!
• Improvements to the solo queue matchmaking with a progress bar and messaging when searching/finding players
• Discord details notification on boot - enhanced signposting to Discord for our new players so that they can find the competition.
• Frontend menu tidy up with PvE Practice moved under the PLAY menu
• Added messaging to clarify PvE Practice purpose (to learn map/controls and test game settings)
• Updated controls hint screen to make the sniper scope control clearer
• Controls hint screen added to the in-game menu
• Balancing tweaks to character movement speeds and end zone placement
• Many many performance and stability improvements,
○ Most notably for players with AMD FX chipsets - thanks to @demonicskiller for your feedback on this, it should make things a lot better for you! I'm sure you'll let us know ;)
○ Fix for characters not loading in immediately at the start of a round
○ Fix for broadcaster control buttons being available before the start of a round
• Please do make use of the discord to report new bugs, I'm thinking of retiring the forum as discord seems to be a better place for the community to live at least for now, let me know what you think ...

Week 3 Update
Making sure us Devs are on discord listening to and playing the game with you immediately gives us a better understanding of what you want from the game and also helps us come up with new ideas for future content.
The standard of play from the teams is, of course, getting better and better all the time revealing to us new types of gameplay that we hadn't thought about before ... plus helping us find the odd glitch to sort out ;)
We Devs are now in round the clock training so we can keep up with the standard of play ... if only to give us a little bit of our pride back when we receive an ass-kicking.
We now have one of the Cartel, (Jamie, jdizzle on discord) who has moved stateside and will be playing with and listening to feedback from our Amerian players.
Jaime can be found on the-Americas-timezone channel on discord so please give him a shout, he's a lovely fella ;)
You never know, in time we may well get a Europe vs America tournament on the go which would be amazing!!!
Thank you again for all your continued support.
you guys are amazing!!!
Happy hunting ....
