Since the initial release turned out to have a bunch of issues here and there I hurried to bring out a hotfix update to fix some of them and also add some new content for more variation.
Changelog:
-New level variations added:
Dawn, night and rain versions for TG_BuildingSite, TG_DirtPit and TG_Fields for a total of 9 new different weather settings.
-Some bugfixes that should make servers a bit more stable.
-Default settings changed to better values for new players.
-Settings in server options now save.
-You can sneak now when walking while ducked, it makes no noise or footprints then.
-Improved controls when sprinting.
-Corpses stay on the ground for a bit.
-Fixed instant respawn.
-Players should no longer be falsely labeled with [Bot].
-Fixed getting stuck on ammo boxes, you can now walk smoothly past them.
-Changed some of the ammo box locations on TG_BuildingSite, to make the main building roof less of an overpowered location.
-And a bunch of other small tweaks.
Servers are not up yet, it turned out to be more complicated than thought. So I hope there will be some more volunteers setting up games for people in the meantime.
If someone wants to volunteer running a dedicated server temporarily and has problems with it, he can contact me for some support.
Initial launch problems, issues and solutions
Yes, there are a lot of bugs in the game. There was likely not enough testing before the release, especially not under such load like now.
I will make a list of the most known issues and possible solutions here, for a temporary workaround until the issues get patched:
1.Servers:
There are no official servers yet and people have to host their own games. This can lead to bad performance or connection interrupts.
If you host a game make sure your PC is fast enough and you have enough bandwidth for upload, you will need around 8 kb/s per player on your server.
2.Server settings:
There seems to be a problem in the server settings in where the player limit does not work, so too many players join games, which leads to lags and later server crash and maybe bad gameplay experience.
You also should activate "Allow Cycling" in options, otherwise the server will shut down after a match and all players will return to menu.
So for now don't overpopulate the servers
3.General
Read the manual you get when pressing "Help" on main menu or "F1", there are some hints.
You should play on servers with latency/ping below 150, better 100 or less, otherwise the game will not be playable and you have significant delay.
4.Controls
Many experience mouse sensitivity problems, make sure you set the sensitivity in options before playing, you can also change some options while in a game.
5.Dedicated servers
If you want to host a dedicated server you can do this with following command:
Where the binary can be replaced, if you want to try Linux for example, or the level, if you want to start with another level also make sure "Allow Cycling" is on in options. This is the commandline version, if you have a shortcut on your desktop, you can add the parameters -dedicated... as launch options.
